My team is on leave, including my IT support. So, it's my time to do the techy workwhereby my colleague Connie usually does it.

One of the TM called me up and mentioned that she can't "register others" for a course, hmmm what was wrong with the batch registrations. So, I went into the role management module and noticed that the under CanManageOtherRegistration, Add to Roster, Remove from Roster and Edit was not selected. So, I experimented first by selecting Edit but TM cannot do batch registrations. So, then I selected on all three and it works!

Since the LMS is up, the password problem issue suddenly pops up and I'm feeling like I'm back to square one before the systems is enhanced. Well to comfort myself, I can always say that this is normal as we are still in the enhancement mode and there are bound to be teething problem after we put the application to the real production environment.

Well, I intend to talk about the LMS enhancement later in the blog, strictly from a KM perspective.

Now, back to the password issue, I've been using this tool called keepass since 2 years ago. Keepass is an open source software, which means that it is free to use :)



The security feature that comes with the tool is something that makes me comfortable using it. The database is well encrypted using the using secure encryption algorithms known as AES and Twofish.

Another feature that makes the tool handy is that it is portable and can be run on even a thumbdrive. This is made possible by creating a key file in a thumbdrive and keepass will refer to it for authentication before accessing the stored password.

If you neeed further info on the tool and how to use it, just go on and visit the site at http://keepass.info, and if you are interested to know more about how u can use applications from your thumbdrive, go to http://portableapps.com/
