Re: [Dspace-tech] LDAP administrator authentication
Hi Pete, I am using dspace 1.4.2 and I want to connect it with ldap server. The problem is that my ldap server needs userDN password to make the connection. On the other hand, DSpace tries to authenticate users anonymously. I checked Dspace.org documentation but it has only an anonymous bind example. Any ideas about how I can make this work? Normally LDAP works by using the netid and password of the user to bind to the LDAP service. If this succeeds, then the password is assumed correct and the user is logged in. The problem arises when the userDN is not known in advance, if for example different types of users are in different parts of the organisational structure. In this case, trusted user credentials are required to first log in, locate the correct userDN, and then reconnect to that using the user's own credentials. DSpace does not currently support that, but there is a patch that allows this: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1597831group_id=19 984atid=319984 Thanks, Stuart _ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University E-bost / E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Reverse Dspace Instance Migration Question
Gary, Thanks, but that script does two things. (1) it pretty much answers my original question that that handle prefix is only in the Oracle database, and (2) it explicitly says that is it Currently only compatible with installs running a PostgreSQL database which pretty much means I've got to directly modify the Oracle db. However, that is precisely what I needed to know, so Thanks Much. Brian A.

Do I just need to modify all the prefix numbers in the Oracle db or is this handle value stored elsewhere? As far as I know, the handle prefix is in the files you told and the only place for handles is in one table in the db. There is a script that comes with DSpace to do what you want to do. I think that this is what you think is not the right thing for you, but I suggest that you take a second look. I think this script does not touch the second half of your handles (behind the slash) but changes only the prefix in all database entries. Besides, I dont understand exactly why your handles would have changed unless you created new items during testing. Depending on what you did exactly when exporting your production db to test (e.g. dump production and run the dump on the test machine, then running the sql upgrade script), the database should still contain all valid handles unaltered. The settings in dspace.cfg apply to new items only and the config.dct change made sure that your test server did not answer external resolution requests, thats all. If you are not sure, I would block the production system for write access and do the same steps you did for testing once more, with a snapshot of the latest production data- base, then switch to the new machine. I would move only the /dspace dir containing the assetstore, but not /dspace_source. You have your 1.4.2 sources already there. If you have to merge local changes, then you have to do that in advance and this will be the largest task of your migration. I would use a local cvs or svn repository to simplify that step ( I actually did it that way already). I would use the new config files as a template and merge with the values of the old configs. For the handle server, I would do the same, as
Re: [Dspace-tech] DSpace Installation: Java-Problem

But reaching the point to say 'ant fresh_install' I get the following error message where I can not figure out the reason: Buildfile: build.xml compile: install_code: build_wars: init_configs: setup_database: [java] 2007-10-25 12:36:16,477 INFO org.dspace.storage.rdbms.InitializeDatabase @ Initializing Database [java] 2007-10-25 12:36:16,536 INFO org.dspace.core.ConfigurationManager @ DSpace logging installed using log4j.properties [java] Exception in thread main java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file My very first guess was wrong JDBC connector version but I wonder why nobody mentioned it so far as this absolutely standard error source. It is discussed in the docs and it was discussed on this list several times. This guess is not contradictory to Claudias assumption: fresh_install can be run only once against a virgin database. It will always fail with a second try. So you have to remove the database with every try if you succeeded partially as in your example. For the proper jdbc driver go to this page and study the matrix: http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.2-506.jdbc3.jar I guess, this is your driver and it should be the version that you get if you install through aptitude or whatever you use. If aptitude installs another version, then try this one and check if it works. If this is fine, file a bug to debian. Also, search your Java path for duplicate jdbc drivers of different versions. Maybe, you installed the right version but it does not get used. If you cant connect to postgres through psql then forget about the jdbc driver and fix this first. The pg_hba.conf file is the place to go and learn about.

[Dspace-tech] Help with METS Ingest Import
Hi all, I've been struggling trying to figure how to import METS ITEMS into DSPACE as in SIP. There's an export utility (dsrun) for exporting DSPACE items into METS Formats (DIP). How would I go about doing the reverse, importing METS Items into a Collection. Thanks and your response is much appreciated. --LP - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
