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