Hi Hélder, See:
- http://blog.stuartlewis.com/2008/05/27/shibboleth-sword-and-dspace-15/ What you can do is to have two copies of dspae.cfg, and edit [tomcat]/webapps/sword/WEB-INF/web.xml (dspace-config context-param) to point to a different dspace.cfg. In that other dspace.cfg (maybe [dspace]/config/dspace-sword.cfg) you can define a different set of authentication options. The easiest option is to use either LDAP or the the PasswordAuthentcation method. How you do it really depends on your SWORD use case and client. If your SWORD client has a hard-coded username and password, then either of these will do. What we do with our SWORD clients is to perform the authentication in the client, and if that is OK, use a hardcoded username and password to make the actual SWORD deposit into DSpace.
