Re: [Dspace-tech] LDAP and Special Groups Code

[Clive Gould]

Hi Helix

The following excerpt is taken from the authentication-ldap.cfg file

# LDAP users group #

# If required, a group name can be given here, and all users who log in
# to LDAP will automatically become members of this group. This is useful
# if you want a group made up of all internal authenticated users.
login.specialgroup = all-authenticated

# Added By Clive Gould on 31/07/13 to allow for special groups

login.groupmap.1 = ou=StaffUsers:all-staff
login.groupmap.2 = ou=StudentUsers:all-students

The all-staff and all-students groups are the original group names I
already use successfully on our production server with DSpace 1.8.1 custom
authentication.

If as an example I run ldapsearch on AD with a colleagues cn I get the
following response:

[root@standbyvle openldap]# ldapsearch -x -v -D "bromldap@bromley.local" -W
-L "cn=Philip Mann" | less
version: 1

#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: cn=Philip Mann
# requesting: ALL
#

# Philip Mann, School of ICT, Curriculum&Partnerships, RookeryLane,
StaffUser
 s, staff.bromley.local
dn: CN=Philip Mann,OU=School of
ICT,OU=Curriculum&Partnerships,OU=RookeryLane,
 OU=StaffUsers,DC=staff,DC=bromley,DC=local

But if Philip logs into DSpace and I view his ePerson group membership he
has not been allocated to either the all-staff or the all-authenticated
group

Any ideas at all where I might be going wrong?

Thanks very much

Clive

Re: [Dspace-tech] java.lang.NullPointerException when exporting metadata

[Evans, Kevin]

Hi Helix,

Thanks We are using Dspace 1.8.2.

Does the code occur in the package you mention?

It is an export of a community, containing several collections/items. It has 
had its name changed recently.

Assuming you're running DSpace 3, here's the offending line:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3.2/dspace-xmlui/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/cocoon/MetadataExportReader.java#L187

There are several things that could possibly be null: out, csv and
csv.toString() and csv.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"). Is it possible you're 
exporting something that results in an empty CSV?

BTW index-update doesn't do anything related to CSV export. It updates metadata 
in the Lucene index from database. CSV export exports metadata from database.

You can still check, but this shouldn't be the tproblem, because we're using
if (StringUtils.containsIgnoreCase(dn, ldapSearchString))

Did you also check dspace.log for any error messages during login? A couple
of exceptions can be reported there:
"Group defined in authentication-ldap.login.groupmap." + i + " does not
exist :: " + dspaceGroupName
"assignGroupsBasedOnLdapDn could not authorize addition to group",
dspaceGroupName
"assignGroupsBasedOnLdapDn could not find group", dspaceGroupName

Hi Helix

I've made the change you recommended to

Restarted Tomcat and also Apache but it still doesn't work

Is there any logging within DSpace that I can enable to see what's
happening with LDAP auth?

Thanks

Re: [Dspace-tech] QDC Crosswalk and OAI 2.0

[Muilwijk, M. (Marina)]

Dimitrios,

you can get any output you want by editing (or adding) an .xsl file. To get the 
same output as the old QDC crosswalk, you can look at qdc.xsl. It's not really 
a simple way, but if you have some experience with XSLT, it's not difficult.

More on the metadata formats can be found at 
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/OAI+2.0+Server#OAI2.0Server-AdvancedConfiguration
and an example of the QDC you can get "out of the box" is at 
http://demo.dspace.org/oai/request?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=qdc

Yes, it hasn't changed:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-1.8.2/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/xmlui/cocoon/MetadataExportReader.java#L187

That shouldn't matter.

Let's try to find out whether the problem is in the CSV exporter or in
Cocoon. Call the CSV exporter from the command line like this (replace
123456789/123 with the handle of your community):

[dspace]/bin/dspace metadata-export -f export.csv -i 123456789/123

Re: [Dspace-tech] LDAP and Special Groups Code

[Clive Gould]

Hi

I need to increase the dspace.log level to debug

The wiki says

You can control the verbosity of this by editing the *
[dspace-source]/config/templates/log4j.properties* file and then running "*ant
init_configs*".


I've edited
/home/dspace/dspace-3.0-src-release/dspace/config/log4j.properties

Can anyone advise me what directory to run ant init_configs from with
DSpace 3.0 ?

Thanks

Clive

Hi Joseph,

you don't have to do each individual step, but you do have to go
through all the single-version updates and take note of any particular
steps that are specific for that version. Especially do not forget to
do the database schema upgrades. You don't have to actually start
DSpace after each single-version update.

The upgrade between all versions are documented here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Upgrading+a+DSpace+Installation

I strongly recommend you to start with a clean DSpace 3 configuration
directory and add in only your customizations. You can find them out
by doing a diff between the clean DSpace 1.6 dspace.cfg and your
customized DSpace 1.6 dspace.cfg. Then simply transfer them by hand to
the clean DSpace 3 configuration.

I also strongly recommend you to start with a fresh DSpace 3
installation on a new machine with up-to-date OS, Java, etc., copy the
database and assetstore over, import the 1.6 database and do the
database upgrade steps on the new machine.

Simply edit [dspace]/config/log4j.properties (not the one in
[dspace-source]) and restart DSpace, you don't need to go through the
whole ant round - you don't even want to keep log4j.properties with
log level debug in [dspace-source].

No, that's not the right one. Never modify anything in any "target"
directory. That is just an intermediate step - it's created by "mvn
package" from [dspace-source] and the files from
[dspace-source]/whatever/target are copied to [dspace] during the "ant
update" phase.

When you're developing and testing your modifications, it's easiest to
simply modify the XSL in
[dspace]/webapps/xmlui/themes/Mirage/Mirage.xsl, the changes will be
visible upon page reload (if not, see [1]). That's also where your
template overriding dri:body should go.

(The official recommendation is to do all changes in [dspace-source],
because during mvn package/ant update, the webapps in [dspace] are
replaced by those from [dspace-source]. But fear not, the old ones are
kept in [dspace]/webapps.bak-[date_and_time_of_ant_update].)

Re: [Dspace-tech] After upgrading to 3.2 Alert emails have started to fail

[helix84]

Don't use quotes. This is what that section should look like:

mail.from.address = dspace-nore...@dspace.lboro.ac.uk

# Currently limited to one recipient!
feedback.recipient = j.l.coo...@lboro.ac.uk

# General site administration (Webmaster) e-mail
mail.admin = j.l.coo...@lboro.ac.uk

# Recipient for server errors and alerts
alert.recipient = j.l.coo...@lboro.ac.uk

# Recipient for new user registration emails
registration.notify = j.l.coo...@lboro.ac.uk

mail.from.address doesn't have to exist, but it has to be filled in (this
is probably what's causing the problem). And you probably want to leave
registration.notify empty.

Hi,
  Thanks for the help.  I have removed the double quotes now from the config 
and will see if I get any errors/emails appear.

Regards,

Re: [Dspace-tech] QDC Crosswalk and OAI 2.0

Hi Dimitrios,
"xoai| is just an internal format. You can see any record in this format,
though, if you use metadataPrefix=xoai in your OAI URL.

It's quite simple, really. Here's the file you would change (if you need,
but you most likely don't):
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3.1/dspace/config/crosswalks/oai/metadataFormats/qdc.xsl

For example, in the old QDC.properties you had:
dc.language.iso  = 


In the new mapping file, you have this:


http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://purl.org/dc/terms/
http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dcterms.xsd
http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2006/01/06/dc.xsd";>





It may look scary at first, but the only two things that matter here are
doc:metadata/doc:element[@name='dc']/doc:element[@name='language']/doc:element/doc:element/doc:field[@name='value']
and


You don't need to touch the rest, just copy it. You should see the pattern
here.


> If not, is it possible to still use the existing crosswalks for OAI
output?

No, those are not used anymore and have been removed.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Add expand / collapse for the Front Page and Community-List.

[Nemiz, Elvi]

Hi Brian,

Please see this link:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Manakin+theme+tutorial.
Customizations should be made inside the modules directory, AFAIK, not in
[dspace-src]\dspace-xmlui. With regards to the treeview functionality,
please check if you have the correct path in your sitemap.xmap (e.g.
value="lib/*js*/jquery.treeview.js" should be
"lib/*treeview*/jquery.treeview.js").
We sometimes tend to overlook small details like this. Here's a snippet of
sitemap.xmap of our live repository:










Just check if we have the same set of files that were needed for the
treeview functionality. It can also help by looking at our site's page
source.

Regarding the counter beside communities and collections, in your
dspace.cfg, look for # Settings for content count/strength information
 and then set the values for 'webui.strengths.show' and
'webui.strengths.cache' = true. You should also set up a cron job/sheduled
task to run [dspace]/bin/itemcounter periodically to update the count.

I am always willing to help in any that I can, so no problem at all, ;-)

Cheers and regards,
