Example situation:
Adding a user "dc103" to be a domain coordinator
for the domain 103.
1. login as super-user
2. /usr/sbin/adduser dc103
3. passwd dc103
enter in a password
4. Cause 'www' to be a member of the group 'dc103'
Change this line in /etc/group
dc103:x:NUMBER:
to be
dc103:x:NUMBER:www
5. Set permissions for /home/dc103 and /home/dc103/public_html
to be readable and writeable by www.
chmod g+rw /home/dc103; chmod g+rw /home/dc103/public_html
6. login as user=www
7. cd /home/httpd/lonUsers
8. install -d 103/d/c/1/dc103
9. cd 103/d/c/1/dc103
10. echo "unix:" > passwd
11. Run the following script with the arguments
[script] 103 dc103
#!/usr/bin/perl
# quick temporary script

print "Usage: rolesmanip.pl DOMAIN USERNAME\n" unless @ARGV;
my $domain=shift @ARGV;
my $name=shift @ARGV;
my ($l1,$l2,$l3)=split(//,substr($name,0,3));
use GDBM_File;
my %hash;
tie(%hash,'GDBM_File',
"/home/httpd/lonUsers/$domain/$l1/$l2/$l3/$name/roles.db",
&GDBM_WRCREAT,0640);
$hash{'/'.$domain.'/_dc'}='dc';
open OUT, ">/home/httpd/lonUsers/$domain/$l1/$l2/$l3/$name/roles.hist";
map {
print OUT $_.' : '.$hash{$_}."\n";
} keys %hash;
close OUT;
untie %hash;
12. Restart the lon processes (/etc/rc.d/init.d/loncontrol restart)
12. Restart the httpd processes (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart)
13. You may further define the domain coordinator user (i.e. dc103)
by going to http://MACHINENAME/adm/createuser.
