- Information about log-in page redirects to a different server (e.g., a portal).

\label{Domain_Configuration_Login_Page}
If your domain has more than one server you have the option to configure whether 
any of the servers will redirect to another server whenever the log-in page is requested.  This can be useful if you maintain a portal or "lonbalancer" server which 
forms your institution's gateway to LON-CAPA. You can specify the path to which 
the user should be redirected, and also whether log-in page requests from specific
IP addresses should be exempt from the redirection.  The exemption is useful 
if you run a monitoring script which tests log-in, course display, and logout periodically for each of your LON-CAPA servers.

If your domain only has one LON-CAPA server, or you have multiple servers and will 
display their log-in pages, their appearance can be customized as follows:

\begin{itemize}
\item uploading custom image files 
\item changing colors of text, links or backgrounds 
\item enabling/disabling display of specific links 
\end{itemize}
Logos displayed in the login page configuration table are scaled down
from the full size used in the login-page itself. 



\hfill{}

\noindent The following elements are configurable: 

\begin{itemize}
\item Header image at the top of the page
\item Main Logo centered in the upper part of the main panel 
\item Domain logo in the lower left corner of the main panel 
\item Header above the login panel - can also be set to use text (\char`\"{}Log
in\char`\"{}) instead of an image. 
\item Background colors for the page itself, the main panel, and the left
(side) panel. 
\item Text color used for text on the page
\item Enable/disable display of three links: 

\begin{itemize}
\item Course/Community Catalog, for a catalog of courses and communities
\item Admin E-mail, for the e-mail address of the administrator 
\item New User, for users to create their own accounts 
\end{itemize}
\item Default colors for links in the page, depending on status: either
active, visited or default (if neither apply).
\end{itemize}
