Security Warning when using MS IE?
Hi all
We just installed 4.3.0.81 on our test luminis system running Windows 2003 OS.
When we use MS IE to logon to the system (SSL installed), a "Security Warning" message pop up asking the use "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered Securely?" but no other browsers like Mozilla and Chrome.
If the use click "NO", everything shows normally but if some content will be blocked when "YES".
Is there any school successfully solved the issue? Thanks!

Question about Blackboard CPIP Connector
Hi all
Blackboard is about to upgrade its version for our school from 8.X to 9.1 and Sungard helped us to developed a CPIP connector for BB version 9.
My question is:
We changed the destination of the CPIP link from pcomtest.blackboard.com to pcomstaging.blackboard.com in bb9.properties and nested_tables.xsl but somehow it never works. it keeps asking user for password. Anyone knows why? (Bb also confirmed pickup file is copied)
Please someone help? Thanks!

Questions for Window 7 and Outlook 2010
Hi all
We are working to upgrade all our school PCs to Window 7 (we are now XP), we would like to have some answers from other schools:
1. Has any school upgraded all their school PCs to Window 7?
2. What version of luminis are you using (we are 4.2.3.34 running on Windows 2003 OS)
3. How about IE9?
4. How about Outlook 2010? any school created CPIP for it? (we are using Groupwise now)
5. Blackboard connection (we are now 8.2) using Windows 7?
Thanks in advance!

Password change?
Hi all
A student tries to change password by clicking on "my account" link, even he/she follows the rules (from Abcd1234 to Abcd4321):
Password Requirements
• The password length must be 8 or greater.
• The password length must be 20 or less.
• The password must contain a letter.
• The password must contain a digit.
luminis keeps showing "The password change failed for an unspecified reason."
Why is that? We use EAS and Novell NDS to Authenticate.
Any idea or suggestion is welcome!

Apache server for Luminis5? and Virtual one?
Hi all
Sungard informed us that they had not created LP5 for Windows server and unfortunely we are running Windows OS everywhere in our school.
Is there any school has similiar concern? What about creating an apache server and install LP5 there? Virtualize it? What about Migration?
Any input or idea will be greatly appreciated.

Note: We are now running Luminis 4.2.3.34 on Windows 2003 OS.
