I have done a bit of searching in this group archive, but find very little information on this subject. There are apparently four ways that an end user might access an IPS package server
What do you understand as "accessing". Yes, you can access the repo with a browser, but you can't install packages this way. You can download a p5i file which will tell the package manager what to do.
- command line, web page, the package manager app, or just downloading a file.
I'm not aware of a scheme to download a file directly from a repo, unless you have the hash of that file. Or are you talking about a pkg archive (p5p)
We are wondering what methods there are to create an IPS server that can handle all of these but requiring a login before anything happens? We also want to be able to count the files downloaded and kept track of what each user is getting. I see that Oracle does seem to have some methods to require a support contract for some IPS repository use. Is this or any other method documented anywhere? Any suggestions?
The register-app at https://pkg-register.oracle.com explains the whole process of accessing SSL protected repositories, which can be done using the CLI, the package manager and, with some tweaking, the browser. But there are no plans on creating a scheme which uses a username/password pair at the moment.
