I apologize for being sporadic with my queries here. But I'm trying to manage several projects at once and this is just one of them.
I am the default tech person on a project at the USGS to try using the OSM software to jumpstart our flagging National Map Corps program. We have a full copy of the OSM software stack running on a USGS server: navigator.er.usgs.gov (I didn't choose the server name). We successfully conducted an initial phase of testing using the software to do some work on road data in Kansas. It was purely a test of the software. Now we are trying to use the system to collect structure data (like POIs). In the first phase we used Potlatch 1.4. For this phase we are trying to use Potlatch 2. The customization options in Potlatch 2 make it much more compelling. Or rather, I don't want to have to setup a coding environment and start slinging code just to change some icons. As I said, this is one of several projects I'm involved in. My hope was that we could get away with just editing the XML files for Potlatch 2 to customize it for our data schema. We have hit a stumbling block. I cannot seem to get Potlatch 2 to authenticate properly with the API. I posted about this once before but I think I was misunderstood. I'm not trying to use Oauth to have Potlatch 2 authenticate against OSM. I am trying to get my copy of Potlatch 2 to behave in regard to my API instance the same way Potlatch 2 on openstreetmap.org behaves. Specifically, I don't see where Potlatch 2 had to be setup as an Oauth client on Openstreetmap.org. I keep trying (and failing) to get Oauth to work. I've setup an Oauth client and copied the consumer_key to the potlatch2_key in application.yml. That doesn't help at all and I don't see why it would because each time I set up a new client, I get a different consumer_key and secret. Of course, that seems to be the way it should work. Each user needs to setup the client for themselves. That's the idea behind Oauth. However, all users on Openstreetmap.org can use Potlatch 2 without configuring it as an Oauth client. How can I manage that trick for my own server? -Eric -=--=---=----=----=---=--=-=--=---=----=---=--=-=- Eric B.
