Dear Samuel, I have followed your instruction but when I disabled the IP authentication I cannot perform any batchupload. The message I get is:
[ERROR] Sorry, client IP .... cannot use the service. Analysing the code it seems that the method responsible for the upload, cli_upload, (https://github.com/inveniosoftware/invenio/blob/v1.2.1/modules/bibupload/lib/batchuploader_engine.py#L94) will always perform the IP check. Is this correct? Are there other approaches for the batchuploader which bypass the IP security control using the APIs?

Your client needs a normal account in the system, to which an API key is generated in the "API keys" form within <.../youraccount/edit> You authorize the account of the client using regular WebAccess (e.g. you can grant it "runbatchuploader" action with a given collection. Then the client need to issue requests via robotupload as usual but adding some parameters: 1. Prepare your query (be sure to URL-encode it). 2. Add “apikey” with your public key to the list of parameters. 3. Sort (alphabetically) parameters of your query. 4. Create a HMAC-SHA1 signature of the full query (starting with http:// example.org/…) using your private key as the key. 5. Append the hexadecimal-encoded signature to your query string as “signature” parameter.
