Preview of the application’s installation, login, password reset/forgotten and author self-registration screens.

Installation

The installation process was strongly influenced by SPIP, an easy to use content management system. By re-using parts of SPIP, users will be presented with a familiar environment, as well as a well-tested installation process.

Installation welcome screen

You can change the language before starting the installation steps. The default language is detected from the web browser’s configuration.

Database configuration

At this point, it only tries to determine whether the login and password to connect to the database is correct.

Selecting the database

A list of existing databases is provided. If a database matches the username, it is selected by default. The administrator can also chose to create a new database, but this does not work with all databases. It is recommended to use phpMyAdmin or similar software to create a new database.

Database is ready

If the access rights were sufficient, LCM creates the necessary structure in the database.

Creation of an administrative user

This screen allows the user, which is presumed to be the administrator, to create a profile in order to later connect to the site.

Finished!

Clicking on "next" brings the user to the login screen to enter the site.

Entering the site

This login procedure was also strongly influenced by SPIP. It provides a few simple tricks which greatly improve security.

Login page, first enter your user name.

Enter your password.

This is done in two steps because the password is encrypted with a MD5 Javascript function for better security.

Alternative login without Javascript

Some browsers, such as Lynx (text-mode), do not support Javascript. Therefore, a less secure login alternative is provided.
