How do I change a filesystem authenticated author to Kerberos/Internally authenticated author?
Using CUSR, just change the users authentication.  If you desire, you can remove
the user from you machine using vipw or userdel.  If you remove the user from the 
filesystem, go the user's home directory and chown -R www:www the user's directory.

(Answer) (Category) LON-CAPA User Help : (Category) LON-CAPA Coordinator: LON-CAPA Domain Administration : (Category) Answers that require you to become root :
Can I delete resources from the private/resource space?
When materials are published and copied from private space to public space (/home/AUTHOR/public_html to /home/httpd/html/res/DOMAIN/AUTHOR), they are also listed in a database. Removing materials from /home/httpd/html/res/DOMAIN/AUTHOR will not unpublish. You will be able to find the deleted material still. The /home/httpd/html/res/DOMAIN/AUTHOR directories are not meant to be touched.

If an author wants to "unpublish" something for a good reason (e.g. wrote some textbook problems by without getting copyright permission), I recommend that they copy over the resource with something like a blank problem template or blank html page and remove clear all the data from the meta file when the publish this new blank problem. This way, the problem/resource is not searchable and if someone does come across it, the material is useless.

How do I make a domain coordinator on a new LON-CAPA machine?
You need to determine the values of two variables,
DOMAINNAME and DOMAINCOORDINATORNAME.

DOMAINNAME should equal lonDefDomain in access.conf.
DOMAINCOORDINATORNAME can be whatever you want
(alphanumeric characters).

As root:
bash$ cd loncom/build
bash$ perl make_domain_coordinator.pl DOMAINCOORDINATORNAME DOMAINNAME
  THEN enter password in standard input

bash$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

(Note: the web server must be restarted with
the above "httpd restart" command because
make_domain_coordinator.pl alters /etc/group).
