  information in domain's configuration.db, and only use the legacy check for
  lonBalancer 1 in Apache config files, if the web GUI has yet to be used.

- Where self-creation of accounts is enabled for institutional log-in and
  also e-mail address as username, call to &javascript_setforms() needs to

consistent notation of e-mail in sentences and E-mail in titles.

typo

- Sanity checking so unmodifiable fields use institutional data for the new user.

- Breadcrumbs added to facilitate retreat to earlier pages during account creation process.
- &catreturn_js() added to provide javascript functions used in breadcrumb trail to jump back to
  course catalog or first self-enrollment screen, when account creation occuring in context of self-rnrollment

- &login_failure_msg() added to put messages displayed when authentication fails in one place, with a link back to try again.

- already declared.

- move generation of log-in screen to &login_box().
- additional possible phase - selfenroll_login - when log-in box is to be generated for users wishing to self-enroll in a course, who are not logged in, and clicked "logg-in" link.

Log-in screen for institutional IDs to create new accounts:
- If user enters an existing username (for current domain):
  - password is correct: log the user in.
  - incorrect password: report invalid username or password.

Move duplicate code in lonauth.pm and createaccount.pm which handles result from createaccount::username_check() into username_check() for both log-in ID and SSO cases.
- additional args ($contact_name $sso_logout) passed to &username_check for SSO case.
- Page for user information data table customized based on availability of data fields, and whther data can be entered (according to $rowcount and $editable args returned from &loncreateuser::personal_data_display().
 - If no values are available or editable don't display table.
 - If only non-editable values are available - display table with appropriate message.
 - If one or more editable values - display table with appropriate message.
If username check reports errors (e.g., 'username' not in institutional database, or 'authtoken' - authtoken could not be set) - display appropriate error reports.

- Add &sso_logout_frag() to provide a link to logout of an SSO session if username creation is not possible.
- Moved some <br /> for a more compact display for SSO authenticated case.
- Typo in an <h4></h4> header line.

- Eliminating use of the word domain, and replacing with institution in most cases.  New users will not necessarily know what is meant by a LON-CAPA domain.

- Contact e-mail address should be for domain in whihc user is creating the account, not the default domain of the server hosting the session.
- Set contact e-mail address to the first address in the comma-separated list from loncommon::build_recipient_list().
- Added "Account creation unavailable" where username_check() reported failure for uauthenticated SSO users creating LON-CAPA accounts.

- Adding some header lines and wrapping some messages in <span>s for LC_warning or LC_error.

- Store captcha image and captcha code in lonCaptchaDir and lonCaptchaDb
   respectively.
- Entry in loncapafiles.lpml to create necessary directories during install.

- client side javascript validation of e-mail address format for e-mail being proposed as username.

- Directory for storage of temporary Captcha images.

- Restore another <br /> (needed for two column display from the <div></div>,
  for create account with login and create account with e-mail address.

- Fix some changes made in rev 1.6.
- Remove single quotes around $esc_token
- Restore <br /> (it's needed for two column display from the <div></div>)
- Some &mt()

- Token required on user information data entry page.
- Token validation required for account creation.

Wording and optimized &mt() calls:
e.g., same text for same function; use already existing phrases; links as parameters; no html inside mt(), etc.

Use standard text for login/authentication problems and added warning style

- selfcreation auth types are now stored as an array, instead of a single-valued scalar.
- if a user successfully authenticates via SSO, but a LON-CAPA account is lacking for the username used to authenticate, user can create an account, if selfcreation is allowed for the 'sso' auth type.

- Functionality for requesting user information from a user authenticated by a domain's default authentication (must be either Kerberos of localauth) moved to new &username_check() subroutine.
- Remove $reqtime - not used
- Add missing space in message displayed when token information is incomplete.

- user is automatically logged in after completing the account creation process
- if account creation occurred in the context of a request for self-enrollment, the course ID for the intended course is retained, the user proceeds to self-enrollment after auto log-in.

- Replace "selfenroll" with "selfcreate" in various subroutine names, and modify text which refers to self-enrollment to refer to user creation of accounts.
- Intended to clarify that these procedures relate to a user creating his/her own account in a LON-CAPA domain as opposed to self-enrolling in a course, once the user has an account.

Bug 5558. Visitors without a LON-CAPA account can create one, using an e-mail address (sends a URL to the address provided, which needs to be visited to complete the process), or an institutional login (authentication required).

Requires Authen::Captcha perl module to discourage robotic account requests.

Work in progress.
