1.1       www        36: </ul>
                     37: If you have problems logging in with any browser or any operating system not
                     38: listed above, please <b>use another browser or computer.</b>
1.12      raeburn    39: Please please submit a help request to <a href="/adm/helpdesk?origurl=adm%2floginproblems.html">LON-CAPA support</a> if you have any problems.  
1.3       www        40: <h2>I would like to use my Pocket Computer or PDA to access LON-CAPA</h2>
                     41: While we can make no guarantees that LON-CAPA will work with your particular
1.13      www        42: Pocket Computer or PDA, it runs fine on Apple iPhones, iPads, and iPods using Safari, as well as on several Android devices.
1.1       www        43: <h2>I get "Username and/or password could not be authenticated"</h2>
                     44: <ul>
                     45: <li>
                     46: The most common problem here is that the Caps-Lock button is pressed. Usernames
                     47: and passwords are case sensitive, so it does matter if something is typed with
                     48: lowercase or with uppercase letters.
                     49: </li><li>
                     50: The second most common problems is that users accidentally go to the wrong 
                     51: server. LON-CAPA is running at many universities, colleges, and schools.
                     52: Especially if you hit upon this page by looking for "LON-CAPA" in Google or
                     53: some other search engine, you might have hit a server at another place. Please
                     54: make sure to use the URL provided to you. 
                     55: </li></ul>
1.3       www        56: <h2>I get a list of computers ...</h2>
                     57: This means that the server you attempted to login to is currently not 
                     58: available. For example, it might be undergoing maintenance. Please click on
                     59: any of the other server, giving preference to the ones that say "preferred."
1.5       www        60: <h2>I get "Information needed to verify your login information is missing, inaccessible or expired"</h2>
                     61: LON-CAPA does internal encryption of password information submitted from the 
                     62: login screen, but only keeps the decryption information for a day. Simply pull
                     63: up the login screen again. 
                     64: If that does not solve the problem, please wait for 20 minutes, reload 
1.1       www        65: the login page, and try again. If after 20 minutes LON-CAPA still gives you 
1.11      raeburn    66: the same message, please submit a help request to <a href="/adm/helpdesk?origurl=%2fadm%2floginproblems.html">LON-CAPA support</a>. 
                     67:  The server administrator will be able to verify your situation and re-enable logins.
1.3       www        68: <h2>I hit "Log In," but nothing happens, or I get error messages and 
                     69: warnings</h2>
                     70: <ul>
                     71: <li>The most common problem is that your browser is not one of the browsers
                     72: listed above.</li>
                     73: <li>You might have modified the preferences in your browser. In particular, the
                     74: following preferences can be a problem:
                     75: <ul>
                     76: <li>Scripting languages, in particular JavaScript, is disabled. 
                     77: <i>Test: as you <a href="javascript:alert('PASSED TEST');">click here</a>, 
                     78: a small window should appear. If no window appears, scripting is disabled.</i>
                     79: </li>
                     80: <li>The security settings are cranked up to a higher level. In particular, this
                     81: might prevent unencrypted submission of passwords (LON-CAPA actually does its
1.12      raeburn    82: own encryption), or cross-server submission of forms.</li>
