I replied on 21st Dec to an earlier enquiry that you sent so perhaps your
aren't receiving any replies due to filtering or spam settings?

Subject: [Xerte] Re: login_library.php is empty
There's not account creation via management.php apart from the single admin
account so how are you creating users?
It sounds like your install was working probably with the default guest
access so I suggest you do the following:
1. Backup your database and directory in case of problems
2. Download 1.9
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/xertetoolkits.zip extract that
and copy the files over the top of your 1.8 install
3. Test it's working with the default guest account e.g. create and view an
LO
4. Edit auth_config.php and set authentication to static by un-commenting
static and commenting out guest
5. Edit \library\Xerte\Authentication\Static.php and add your required
accounts and passwords - use the four default accounts for reference before
removing or changing those
6. Revisit your install and test the logins
7. Let us know how that went

Subject: [Xerte] Solved: Setup a password protected environment for Xerte
when no LDAP is available
Hi All,
I didn't get any response.
Should I send this mail to another e-mail address?
Any help is appreciated.
However .
By going through the code I found the DB-option to setup a password
protected xerte website. Works fine for me.
It would have been easier if this would have been mentioned in the
installation manual.

Onderwerp: Rephrased: Setup a password protected environment for Xerte when
no LDAP is available
Hi All,
I'm not sure if I've send this message to the right place. Is there another
forum where to post my question?
My previous mail did not appear in the mailing list, although I receive
other mails coming from xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk
What do I want to accomplish?
. Setup Xerte on a webserver (I already did this)
. Give lectors access to Xerte by using a password, so they can work
together on courses
. Preferably at first I only want lectors from the domain "KHLim.be"
to be granted access to the Xerte website
. Integrate these courses in our Blackboard/Toledo LMS by using the
IFRAME option.
o This way I want to give students access to the courses we created in
Xerte
o Preferably I don't want to setup a username and password for every
student. How to best do this?
Below you can find information on what I already tried.
Any help is greatly appreciated
With kind regards

Onderwerp: login_library.php is empty
Hi All,
I'm trying to setup Xerte on a website and ran into some problems.
I did a full install from version V 1.8
I followed the instructions in the manual and everything was installed
successfully
The Xerte website works. I can create new courses and view them, work with
IFRAME integration in our LMS, etc.
The website that hosts xerte doesn't support LDAP
Since I want to setup some password protection for the site a have setup a
password on the /httpdocs (root) folder of my site
I created several users, each with their own password.
I made sure that the same users were also created in Xerte via
management.php
According to the instructions in the installation manual I have to work with
switch.php and put in the usernames and passwords
In the version 1.8 which I downloaded there was no switch.php
On the mailing list I found a switch.php and downloaded it
and made the necessary changes
Running that file gave a blank screen
After some investigation I found that login_library.php
was empty
The fact that in the first place there was no switch.php present and the
fact that login_library.php is empty gives me the impression that I did
something wrong or that I use the wrong options. Please advise what to do
next. Are there other installation instructions available?
What do I want to accomplish?
. Setup Xerte on a webserver
. Give lectors access to Xerte by using a password, so they can work
together on courses
. Integrate these courses in our Blackboard/Toledo LMS by using the
IFRAME option
. We don't want the courses being publicly available
Thanks in advance for helping me .
