Hi, I'm in the process of setting up a DSpace v6.2 DEV system (JSPUI) and I've been testing the "Request a copy" functionality . . .
However, from what I've seen, it appears that I can no longer respond to a request without being logged in(?). I.e. if I receive a "Request a copy" email, click the link to open the "Don't send a copy" or "Send a copy" page, click "Send a copy", and then click the "Send" button on the "Accept the request" page, I'm then challenged to log in before the email will actually be sent - i.e. I'm taken to the login page, and then, once logged in, I'm then sent on to the "Your request was sent successfully!" page (and the email is finally sent) - if I don't log in, the email does not get sent. This is different to the behaviour we have in our current v4.2 system - there, a user can click the email link and "Accept" the request (stepping through the pages) and the email with the file is sent (and the user redirected to the "Your request was sent successfully!" page), all without having to log on. Am I correct in my assumption that in v6 the user is now required to log in in order to complete their response to a "Request a copy" email? If so, is there any way to disable this and revert to the v4.2 behaviour? All deposit to our repository is from our CRIS system (with the request a copy email address held in metadata where appropriate), so our users don't usually have to log in to our Repository for anything, so I'd really rather they didn't have to do it in order to respond to these requests? (Plus, as this is changed behaviour for our users, I'm concerned that our staff won't bother to log in, just assuming that the email has been sent as they've clicked the "Send" button - thus there is a real danger that files won't actually get sent). I'm currently reviewing the code (in v4 against v6) to see if I can work out how to turn the authentication/authorisation off, but I'm guessing a little, so if anyone has any thoughts how to achieve that, please let me know! Any observations/suggestions welcome as I really need to avoid the logging in step if at all possible.
