Content Server Management

If your LMS uses content servers outside of the LMS to provide faster or more local access to course content, you can register their details in the Content Server Configuration page. 

The LMS uses the following rules to find a suitable content server for each user:

  • If the course's launch URL is an absolute URL, the course is launched from that URL.
  • If the user's IP address matches the IP address range configured for a content server, the course is launched from that content server.
  • If a user has a specific content server selected in their profile, the course is launched from it.
  • If the user's IP address does not match any content servers, and they do not have a content server selected in their profile, the course is launched from the LMS server.

This article addresses linking to a content server and configuring IP address ranges in the LMS.  For detailed information about implementing content servers, please see the Content Server Configuration Guide in the PeopleFluent support site.

To manage content server configuration, your role must have unrestricted access to the Content Server Configuration feature.
