[Building Sakai] Sakai-iTunesU getCredentialsForAllSites() Feature

[Daniel McCallum]

Yeah, I tried emailing Joseph directly based on the SVN commit logs, but 
he's no longer at IU.

So you're saying that if you set the flag sitting behind 
getCredentialsForAllSites(), launch iTunesU from Sakai, then try to 
navigate up to whatever iTunesU page has the section containing your 
course pages, you get that error screen? Might that be because you 
restrict access to that containing page, which thus prevents browsing 
between course pages, even for course-authorized users?

Is anyone running with credentialsForAllSites turned on w/ some sort of 
tangible resulting benefit? :)

Thanks again.
