What are other schools doing to implement password security in SSO environments?
Hi, What we are looking for is a way to, at the Luminis logon, to check password expiration and/or force change if expired. The main issue is we cannot just use the built in Luminis password security because this will not propagate to the other systems.
Dupe email address prevents new user build thru the LMB
We have Banner 8 running on a HP-UX 11.23 rx6600. We have the brokers communication between it and the Luminis box (Sun). We have many cases where a student won't get imported/built in Luminis because the email they have specified is the same as one or more other users. If one of these entries is imported via "cptool import ims <filename>" then we get an error with the error and student ID. This is fine.
Fresh install on Linux
We are in planning stages of changing from Luminis on Windows to Linux.
Our current plan is to completely reinstall our environments with no migration of data. Fresh from the ground up. Our current setup is two environments, prod and test. In each setup there is a resource server, web server, and an email/calendar server. The Database is also on a separate maching as well.
PHP script in Luminis
I have a Flash form that sends an email directly to a email address specified in the form using PHP, is it possible to run PHP script on Luminis and if so what do I have to do to make it work, it currently does not work on a Luminis environment, but does work on a regular webserver.
Dealing with E-mail: What is your strategy?
We are evaluating our options for e-mail as we look forward to Luminis 5 which, as I understand it, will deploy with no e-mail solution built in.
We have been offering e-mail to our students for 9 years now, and there is a strong feeling that we should move away from supporting our own solution, as nearly all students come with their own e-mail address anyway. Faculty and Staff are on a separate e-mail system.
I am interested in your school's solution to email, now and into the planned future.

Does anyone use high availability failover for their Luminis Resource Server?
I was wondering what folks use for High Availibility with Sun Solaris 10 on Sun Sparc servers? and any useful tips /opinions about HA and Luminis.
Thanks!
Managing Intranet Textual Content
As we are making our way through our external web redesign project, we’ve found many pages are Intranet textual content vs.
is anyone using Luminis on AIX?
I am interested in learning if anyone is using Luminis on AIX. Luminis tells me that they don't support it because they don't have to resources to test it, but that I should ask this user's group if anyone was using Luminis successfully on AIX. Thanks!
Group Studio Messageboard Theme
I've reworked the message boards a little, trying to keep from modifying the code too much. Stripped some of the duplicated data out of them, and modified the style a little. There are some properties files that had some of the field data, however modifying them didn't do anything. So I had to hardcode in some of the text. I've included all the files that you need to replace as well as screenshots. I didn't get too wild with the style, I just wanted something that was cleaner and easier to use.
