Make a LON-CAPA system work with shadow passwords

+

+ + + + +
Step #Description
+1 + +

Is your system using shadow passwords? (Note: LON-CAPA will +work with either MD5/non-MD5 configured systems). If your +system is not using shadow passwords, then do not perform +any of the additional steps. If your system is using shadow +passwords, then you will need to perform the additional steps below. +

+

+How to detect: +
command: cat /etc/passwd | grep ':x:' +

+

If there is output such as "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash", +then your system is using shadow passwords and you will need to continue with +the steps below. +

+
+2 + +

Retrieve the mod_auth_external source by +running the following command +
