[IPT] IPT new version 2.3.4

[Matthew Blissett]

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:

Kind regards,

Matt
