In this quick start, you will use a Fedora 4 server with the WebAC Authorization module enabled to create a sample resource and an ACL for that resource, verify that access to that resource is correctly restricted, and finally modify the ACL to allow you to update the resource.

Prerequisites

• Fedora 4 with WebAC module enabled (you can use one of the pre-built WAR files from the fcrepo-webapp-plus project)a running Fedora repository
• curl

The commands in this guide assume that your Fedora 4 repository root is running at http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest.

Steps

Create these two files in a local directory:

@prefix dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>.

<> dc:title "Hello, World!".

...

Then run this to attempt to update foo:

$ curl -i -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/foo -u user1:password1 \
      -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-update" \
      --data-binary @foo.sparql

...

Run this command to update the ACL authorization:

$ curl -i -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/acl/authz -u admin1:password3 \
      -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-update" \
      --data-binary @authz.sparql

...

Now you should be able to re-run the earlier command to update the foo resource as user1:

$ curl -i -X PATCH http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/foo -u user1:password1 \
      -H "Content-Type: application/sparql-update" \
      --data-binary @foo.sparql

...
