[Ala-portal] How to bypass the authentication process of Collectory component

[Tim Robertson [GBIF]]

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
