Nathan, The LON-CAPA "name" server at MSU has the following information for your LON-CAPA library server:
lonHostID: winonal1 LON-CAPA domain: winona hostname: loncapa.winona.edu protocol: https internet domain: winona.edu primary library server: winonal1 However, the login page: loncapa.winona.edu/adm/login displays: Server: winona1 This is likely the cause of the "error: unable verify users home machine" If I were you I would change the lonHostID from winona1 to winonal1 in /home/httpd/lonTabs/hosts.tab and in /etc/apache2/loncapa.conf on your new LON-CAPA VM and then restart the LON-CAPA daemons using: sudo /home/httpd/perl/loncontrol restart and reload the web server using sudo systemctl reload apache2 Stuart Raeburn LON-CAPA Academic Consortium ________________________________________ From: Moore, Nathan T Sent: Sunday, August 24, 2025 2:01 PM To: lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org; Raeburn, Stuart Subject: Generating user: error: unable verify users home machine. I added a bunch of (student) users to a class yesterday. For some of the users, I saw the error, “Generating user: error: unable verify users home machine.” Is this because of a permissions error that I should fix in the loncapa.winona.edu machine?
