Dear all,

The IPT has changed from accessing the GBIF registry over a non-secure HTTP connection, to using a secure HTTPS connection.  If there is a firewall between your IPT server and the internet, you may need to ask for access through it for secure connections.

On the Ubuntu (or other Linux) server, first verify that you can see the registry over a non-secure HTTP connection using this command:

    curl http://gbrds.gbif-uat.org/

There should be some HTML, ending with "You have connected to the GBRDS API!", and it should appear quickly -- typically in less than a second.

Then try again, but with a secure (https) connection:

    curl https://gbrds.gbif-uat.org/

You should see the same result.  If you do not, you probably need to ask the system administrator to open port 443 on the firewall for you.

On a Windows server, you can check both URLs using a web browser.

On both Linux and Windows, if you can see the HTTPS page but the IPT still doesn't work, check you are using Java 8.  Java 7 and earlier do not support the newer encryption standards.

I've updated the IPT FAQ with this information: https://github.com/gbif/ipt/wiki/FAQ.wiki#7-what-outgoing-connections-does-the-ipt-make

Kind regards,

Matt

Dear all,

I tried to update the IPT that we used for training (test mode) with the new version that Kyle sent and I got the same error than Marta.

For information, I work with Tomcat 7 and java 8. I'm running the IPT on Ubuntu 14.04. 

You will find attached the log of the error.  

Thanks in advance for your help !

Best regards,

Marie

Dear Kyle,

 

We have tried to upgrade our UAT environment and we get the following error.

 

We also tried to request to https://gbrds.gbif-uat.org but we have no answer.

 

Is this environment working?

 

Kind regards,

Marta
