Annotation of loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Domain_Configuration_LangTZAuth.tex, revision 1.2
1.2 ! raeburn 1: Prior to LON-CAPA 2.7, default language and authentication type/argument
! 2: were defined in the domain's entry in the domain.tab file. Those settings
! 3: will continue to be used by servers in your domain until you have
! 4: displayed and saved the Default authentication/language/timezone data
! 5: table. Once that has been done, whenever values need to be determined
! 6: for these settings in the domain they will be retrieved from the configuration.db
! 7: file on the primary library server in your domain, which is where
! 8: information saved from the {}``Domain Cofiguration'' data tables
! 9: is stored. Any information in the domain.tab file will no longer be
! 10: consulted, except by servers running pre-2.7 versions of LON-CAPA.
1.1 raeburn 11:
1.2 ! raeburn 12: Default domain configurations can be assigned for:
1.1 raeburn 13:
14: \begin{itemize}
1.2 ! raeburn 15: \item default language used by users in your domain, unless overridden by
! 16: a user preference
! 17: \item default authentication type for new users in the domain. You will
! 18: need to set the default authentication if you intend to allow a user
! 19: to create a LON-CAPA account if the user successfully authenticated
! 20: via a central service at your institution (e.g., Kerberos), but is
! 21: without a LON-CAPA account. The default authentication is also the
! 22: default offered when Course Coordinators or Authors create new accounts,
! 23: assuming user creation is permitted in these contexts.
! 24: \item default timezone - this will be the timezone used when showing any
! 25: times in your domain, unless overridden at a course level, by a course-wide
! 26: timezone. The timezones available are mostly in the form Continent/City,
! 27: although for the USA there are some in the form America/State/City
! 28: as well as EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT, PST8PDT and HST (for Eastern,
! 29: Central, Mountain, Pacific and Hawaii Timezones, which adjust for
! 30: daylight savingas as appropriate). If no default timezone is set times
! 31: will be displayed according to the timezine of the server hosting
! 32: the user's LON-CAPA session.
