Generate certificates after a course ends

Note: the honor@example.com and verified@example.com users have been pre-added to the certificate whitelist in the vagrant image so you can generate a certificate even if they have not passed the course

• Certificates should only be generated after the course ends. The reason for this is because we store a final grade in the certificate table. To ensure your course has ended login to studio and confirm the end date Image Removed
• Once the end date has passed for a course the users will see that 'final course details' are being wrapped up. Image Removed
• Next you can either run the ungenerated_certs django admin command or the regenerate_user django admin command to generate certificates for an entire course or for a single user. This command does the following:
  • Grade the student
  • Update the generated certificate table with the students score and certificate status
  • Send a certificate request to the certificate process
  • The certificate server will generate a pdf, sign it and copy it to the certificate publish directory
  • The student's dashboard will update to show the link to the pdf and the validation page.

These are the django commands to generate certificates for an entire course or a single student. Note the --insecure flag which is so that http is used for the lms callback url. It is not necessary if https is supported on the lms.
