Re: [Dspace-tech] eperson and groups
That worked like a charm, helix84! Is it possible to make groups with the CLI, similar to the «user» command for creating users, or in any other way script this behavior? -- Vegard From: ivan.ma...@gmail.com [mailto:ivan.ma...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of helix84 Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 12:57 PM To: Vegard Korvald Cc: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] eperson and groups On Thu, May 21, 2015 at 12:22 PM, Vegard Korvald vegard.korv...@usit.uio.nomailto:vegard.korv...@usit.uio.no wrote: I used SELECT * FROM epersongroup to get the IDs, but I couldn't seem to find the corresponding group name in the database.

Re: [Dspace-tech] eperson and groups
Thank you, helix84! By using psql I could add an eperson into a group without any problems. I used SELECT * FROM epersongroup to get the IDs, but I couldn't seem to find the corresponding group name in the database. To find the name I had to look it up as an admin on our DSpace page under Access Control-Groups.

You can find out the user and group IDs from the eperson and epersongroup table, respectively. Alternatively, assuming you're using password authentication and want to put all users into a single group, you can use the login.specialgroup option in [dspace]/config/modules/authentication-password.cfg. Please note that special group membership is dynamic - it doesn't appear in the epersongroup2eperson table, but you can check effective membership in the profile of a logged in user.

[Dspace-tech] eperson and groups
Hello, I'm new to DSpace and would be very greatful if one of you could help me with an issue. Is there a way to add an eperson into groups by using the command line tool or in any other way script it so that we dont have to do it manually? I know there's a solution with LDAP+AD, but unfortunately we can't use this method because we can't authenticate with LDAP. -- Vegard -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
Re: [Dspace-tech] Kerberos and filegroups
Anyone? I would be really greatful if someone could help me resolve this issue. I can shorten the question: Is it possible to authenticate with Kerberos and still autoregister epersons into groups? The best solution for us would be to use unix filegroups to see which eperson belongs to which group. -- Vegard -Original Message- From: Vegard Korvald Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 4:57 PM To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Kerberos and filegroups Hello, We're considering using DSpace for our researchers who work with videos and other data. We'll mainly use DSpace as a frontend for metadata in the database. I have a couple of questions. 1. Is it possible to authenticate with Kerberos? If so, is it also possible to autoregister a user in a group on the first logon based on unix filegroups or AD? I know that it's possible with LDAP authentication and AD, but we can't use LDAP as authentication for AD, only Kerberos. The best option for us would be to authenticate with Kerberos and autoregister users in groups by using unix filegroups. All users will not be in the same group and one user might be a member of several groups. Is this possible? 2. I want the files in DSpace to be useable by other software as well. For example a video in DSpace should not have to be downloaded before the user can analyze it with a software. DSpace will only be used as a frontend to the database for metadata purposes and we don't want to store the files as a 38-digit internal ID, unless we have to. We want the users to be able to see the same files on disk as they see in dspace. This means that the dspace groups and the filegroups has to be the same. I've looked at Registering Bitstreams via Simple Archive Format and if I understand it correctly it might be a solution. It's very important that these files are not available for everyone on disk. The dspace user should be the owner of the file, and a filegroup should give some users access to the file on disk for analyzing. Typically the dspace groups should correspond with the filegroups. Is this doable with DSpace? Please let me know if I need to clarify anything. -- Vegard -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ DSpace-tech mailing list DSpace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech List Etiquette: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette
