    • Additional Features
      • Host - Split into Two Pages
      • Host - Allow Forgotten Password Link Issue
      • OpenLDAP - Allow an email to go out when a user is created similar to what happens with Active Directory (NTC-South Africa)
      • Add option for "Allow School Email for Authentication" in host.   If this box it ticked, the user will be found based on the username or the school email address. NOTE: the authentication still happens with the username, but we are finding the user via either method. If there is more than one user with the same school email, it will provide an error message and not allow the user login to continue. If they, though, would switch to using their username in this case, it would allow them to continue
      • Force Security Questions on Login - In host, if the following settings are configured, and a person has not entered security questions, a user will be forced to set up security questions upon thier next login.
        •  "Force Security Questions on Login" Checked
        • "Allow Forgot Your Password" Checked
        • "Use Forgotten Password Email" is unchecked (Uses an email sent to the person rather than security questions")
      • Security Question Updates in Portals: The Staff, Faculty, and Student portals now have the ability to modify the security questions from within their profile update pages. A "Security Questions" button will be visible if in host "Allow Forgot your Password" is checked and "Use Forgotten Password Email" is unchecked. Also, if the security questions are not setup before clicking on the link for a forgotten password, they will not be allowed to use that method to reset their password - they must contact the school.
    • Behaviour Change
      • OpenLDAP - the LDAP directory is now being updated directly from GNECsis without the use of FTP and the ldif files. Because of this, make sure your Bind user is set (not anonymous) with a user that has create/update access. If your password changes are already happening OK, then you will be fine. The process is still batch, just no longer using the (s)FTP process so changes are more immediate.
