[Dspace-tech] Dspace 1.8 Active Directory Authentication Configuration

[Mesfin Teshome]

Dear all,
   I am relatively new to Dspace but I have a lot of experience with Active 
Directory. I have been trying to configure Dspace Active Directory 
authentication for three days now and I am not having much success. What does 
one put for id_field = (sAMAccountName or CN or userPrincipalName)
and what about for search.user? Does anyone have any success configuring DSpace 
1.8 for Active directory authentication?

Is there any way I could limit a system administrator's functionality?
It seems a system administrator can do anything or has overall
functionality.

Example: He CAN create/edit a top level community or sub-community but
CANNOT create its collection. A community administrator of that
particular community is the only one who can create a collection.

What part of DSpace can I configure to implement this? Thank you for
your response.

How can we resolve the failure of automated data migration due to this
difference in the names of the dspace communities and collections in the
two dspace versions? Is it possible to program the data migration process
regardless of these changes?

The background to this is that we have an upgrade dspace site. However the
names of the communities on the interface of the old dspace version site
are different from the names of the communities on the interface of the
website of the upgraded dspace version.

Secondly, in our old site we had document types as collections, where as
in the new site we do not have document types as collections

Hi Andrew,

just make sure to migrate all of your items first, collection
membership notwithstanding. Changing collection membership is very
easy using the Batch Metadata Editing tool:

https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Batch+Metadata+Editing#BatchMetadataEditing-EditingCollectionMembership

If the number of items in your repository is more than about 10 000,
you may need to restrict your CSV file to 2 colums only - id and
collection.

Regards,
~~helix84

[Mesfin Teshome]

Hi everyone 
 Shanu and Oscar thank you for your help. But I am still facing the same 
problem. 
My configuration is 
enable = true
autoregister=true
provider_url = ldap://
id_field= sAMAccountName
object_context = dc=negst,dc=net
search_context = dc=negst,dc=net
email_filed = mail
surname_field = sn
givenname_field = givenName
phone_field = telephoneNumber
 
= Hierarchical LDAP settings ===
search_scope = 2
search.user = cn=,ou=PSA,OU=AIUU,dc=negst,dc=net
search.password= 
netid_email_domain = @
 
and this is what I have in authentication.cfg file
 
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \
org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication, \
org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication
 
I am using stackable authentication. The PasswordAuthentication is working 
because I am able to log in using the username I created during the 
installation. 
 
The last dspace log shows 
 
44,016 WARN org.dspace.app.webui.servelet.InternalErrorServlet @ 
:session_id=B8EC2A1DA78C76068AFDB5516957AADD:internal_error:-- URL Was:

Below is the error I get when I try to register

Internal System Error
The system has experienced an internal error. Please try to do what you were 
doing again, and if the problem persists, please contact us so we can fix the

Do you have any idea what the problem could be? What do you login with (UPN, 
domain\sAMAccountName, or just sAMAccountName)? I have tried all. Am I missing 
something?

Thanks again. I appreciate your help.

Hi, Mesfin
I think you must add to your current auth stack, something similar to:


plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod = \  
org.dspace.authenticate.PasswordAuthentication, \
org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPHierarchicalAuthentication

(unless you modified the ldapAuthentication class.to behave as
LDAPhierarchical)

best luck

Hi , 
   Thank you, Helix. Shanu, I want to use multiple authentication methods 
and which is why I have both password and ldaphierarchical. I think from my 
reading, that's possible. I can be wrong. I am attaching the current 
authentication method config file.

This is the line that throws the error, there's probably a problem in
provider_url config property.
env.put(javax.naming.Context.PROVIDER_URL, ldap_provider_url);

Just to make sure, send us also your current
plugin.sequence.org.dspace.authenticate.AuthenticationMethod

[Dspace-tech] XMLUI customization Dspace 3.1

Dear all,
    I am trying to customize the Mirage XMLUI interface to suit our 
institutions image. I have tried following the instructions detailed on this 
page
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/XMLUI+Configuration+and+Customization
These are my dspace settings
DSpace Settings
DSpace Version:  3.1 
DSpace Installation Directory:  
/dspace     
 

What I don't understand is I don't see the themes directory the documentations 
is talking about [dspace-source]/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webbapp/themes/ 
under the webbapp directory where I am supposed to copy the templates. Am I 
missing something? Am I supposed to create the themes directory by myself or 
was it supposed to be there after installation.

Hi Meron,

again, you didn't say which DSpace version and interface you're using.

You can change "About DSpace Software" in
[dspace-src]/dspace-api/src/main/resources/Messages.properties

Then you have to rebuild and redeploy DSpace (using mvn package and ant update).

"DSpace at My University" can indeed be changed in dspace.name in
dspace.cfg (or in build.properties when rebuilding DSpace 3), but you
have to restart Tomcat after any change to dspace.cfg.

~~helix84
