Great stuff Daniel,

I'd like to update the wiki (or I can give you access to, which might be better) with a link to your installation, and details of it when its ready if that is ok? It will be highly useful for others to know what hardware you are running on, OS versions etc.

Thanks, Tim

Thanks Dave!

We did not use the installation script. We had some issues during script execution (I'll post these issues in another email). We did a manual installation through the build of the source code files.

I believe our problem was in the line below. I'll test and send to you a feedback.

# disable all security security.cas.uriFilterPattern=/dummy

Thanks again.

Did you use the installation script ? If so it should have CAS disabled by default.

The file:

/data/collectory/config/collectory-config.properties

should look like:

# Security bypass

security.cas.bypass=true

# disable all security

security.cas.uriFilterPattern=/dummy

Cheers

Hi Guys,

We did the deployment of the main ALA components (Biocache, Hubs-webapp and Collectory) and now we do some tests with local data. However, we don't have access to the administrative features of Collectory component.

We check that the ALA access control is accomplished through the CAS component (Central Authentication Service), and we will install it soon. Now we would like to bypass this authentication in order to test the administrative features without the CAS deployment/configuration.

I noticed that exist some parameters in the collectory configuration files to do this, but in our tests did not work properly.

Can we disable (bypass) the authentication process to use the collectory administrative features without the CAS deployment? How to do this?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Hi Dave,

Sorry for the late response.

The administrative features of Collectory are already accessible!

The code line "security.cas.uriFilterPattern=/dummy " did not exist in my external config file.

Thanks!!

Cheers.
