+A ``Log-in Help'' link will be displayed immediately above any of the three optional links:
+Catalog, Contact Helpdesk and New User.  Configuration options determine to which
+file(s) the ``Log-in Help'' points. The default file can be replaced with a custom HTML file
+containing information pertinent to your institution.  In addition, versions of the custom
+file, translated into the twelve languages supported by LON-CAPA can be uploaded, and the
+link will automatically point to the appropriate (localized) file, depending on the viewer's 
+language preference (as reported by the client web browser).

+
+Where the ``Contact Helpdesk'' web form is in use it can be configured to include a CAPTCHA
+mechanism to discourage robotic form completion.  There are two types of CAPTCHA to choose
+from -- the ``original'' CAPTCHA which uses a self-contained perl module included with the
+LONCAPA prequisites, or ReCAPTCHA, which uses an external web service --
+https://google.com/recaptcha -- and requires you to create an account and generate public
+and private keys which will be entered in the domain configuration form.  If you have more
+than one server in your domain, you should request ``global'' keys, as the same keys will be
+used by the Contact Helpdesk ReCAPTCHA on all servers in your domain.
