A mixture of existing and new users. I want to enroll new users. I do not try to update information for existing users. They are part of the input because the student registration office is ignorant of enrollment to lon-capa, so they can provide me only with a list of all the students in the college. > Have you tried switching a session to testdrive.loncapa.net, selecting > your DC role in the jce domain, and used: Main Menu > "Create users or > modify the roles and privileges of users" > "Upload a File of Users" > and uploaded a file containing just one or two users, (as a test) to > see if option (a) in my previous response would address your need? > I misunderstood the utility of the testdrive, so I tried (a) only now following this message. I was able to access the testdrive. However, after uploading a users sample file, and pressing 'upload users' button, I am prompted to supply initial password. This implied internal authentication ; right? As our production system does not use internal authentication I was not sure if I should continue.
