Thank you Geert, this clears up my problem. Best,

The sec functions need to run against the Security database to work themselves. You could either run them against the original, but you will be altering the original in that case. You could also run them against the test database, but it is empty, the sec functions will be looking for privs, users and roles to check whether you are allowed to run the function, and things like that. That won't work unless you copy the security basics into the test database first.

No, I just made an empty database called Test-Security, but I suspected it needed some basic data to work. Do you recommend just backing up the existing Security db and restoring it into the test one?

But it should be possible to create a second Security database. It is essentially just another database, though with rather specific contents. You will need to inject users, roles, etc to make it useable. Did you make a duplicate of the Security database? Kind regards, Geert -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Will Thompson Verzonden: woensdag 20 juli 2011 20:43 Aan: General MarkLogic Developer Discussion Onderwerp: [MarkLogic Dev General] ML Deployment automation and testing We maintain a boostrapping-type script, using admin and sec commands, that creates all users, roles, database/index settings, etc., so that a new or existing instance can be brought up to date with the latest Dev machine. However, I have run into problems testing it. I guess the obvious method would be keeping a PC or VM around just to install ML from scratch and test the script, but I was hoping it would be possible to do this locally. I tried creating a second Security database and instructed the script to build a the new content database using a different name, but it doesn't seem to like the second Security database. Is there a trick to creating another Security database? I know it's not recommended, but this would only be for testing. I couldn't find anything in the ML Security Administration docs. Do you have any recommendations on how to quickly test a script like this each time it is updated?
