As a general practice, changes should always be made in *dspace-src*.  The
maven and ant builds should be run to re-generate the *dspace-install*
 directory.

[dspace-tech] Documentation suggestion

2019-03-16 Thread Ashim Kapoor
Dear All,

I was trying to disable SSL so that the REST API works on my virtual
machine.

This page :
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/REST+API#RESTAPI-InstallingtheRESTAPI

says:
Disabling SSL

For localhost development purposes, SSL can add additional getting-started
difficulty, so security can be disabled. To disable DSpace REST's
requirement to require security/ssl, alter
[dspace]/webapps/rest/WEB-INF/web.xml or
[dspace-source]/dspace-rest/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml and comment out
the  block, and restart your servlet container.
Production usages of the REST API should use SSL, as authentication
credentials should not go over the internet unencrypted.

This page does not say what we should do in case we have copied the webapps
into the [tomcat] folder. In that we we should edit the corresponding
web.xml in the REST webapp in [tomcat]. Is that correct ? It works for me.

Also,is it correct that we can edit one out of the files in [dspace] or
[dspace-source]. I would think only the first one would work. Am I mistaken
?

Best,
Ashim
