Configuration

Configuration options for the Islandora module can be found on your site at http://path.to.your.site/admin/islandora/configure, and include the following:

General Configuration

• The Fedora Base URL is the path to the Fedora webapp on your Tomcat (or other) server. On a default installation, this will be http://localhost:8080/fedora; if your port or path were changed during installation, these will need to be corrected to reflect that.
• The Root Collection PID is the Persistent Identifier fedora will use for your root collection. This may not need to be changed.

Namespaces

It may be convenient to set up namespace restrictions on your site - for example, to prevent sharing of objects across multiple sites using the same installation. Restrictions entered can use the following formats:

• Use namespace: to add access to all of the objects using the namespace: PID
• Use namespace:object to allow access to a specific object
