Example Value

handle.canonical.prefix = http://hdl.handle.net/
handle.canonical.prefix = ${dspace.url}/handle/

Informational Note:

Canonical Handle URL prefix. By default, DSpace is configured to use http://hdl.handle.net/ as the canonical URL prefix when generating dc.identifier.uri during submission, and in the 'identifier' displayed in item record pages. If you do not subscribe to CNRI's handle service, you can change this to match the persistent URL service you use, or you can force DSpace to use your site's URL, e.g. handle.canonical.prefix = ${dspace.url}/handle/. Note that this will not alter dc.identifer.uri metadata for existing items (only for subsequent submissions).

Example Value

handle.prefix = 1234.56789

Informational Note:

The default installed by DSpace is 123456789 but you will replace this upon receiving a handle from CNRI.

Example Value:

handle.dir = ${dspace.dir}/handle-server

Informational Note:

The default files, as shown in the Example Value is where DSpace will install the files used for the Handle Server.

core.authorization.item-admin.policies

Example Value:

webui.user.assumelogin = true

Informational Note:

Determine if super administrators (those whom are in the Administrators group) can login as another user from the "edit eperson" page. This is useful for debugging problems in a running dspace instance, especially in the workflow process. The default value is false, i.e., no one may assume the login of another user.

Please note that this configuration parameter has changed name in DSpace 4.0 from xmlui.user.assumelogin to webui.user.assumelogin as it is now supported also in the JSP UI

Example Value:

xmlui.force.ssl = true

Informational Note:

Force all authenticated connections to use SSL, only non-authenticated connections are allowed over plain http. If set to true, then you need to ensure that the "dspace.hostname" parameter is set to the correctly.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.registration = true

Informational Note:

Determine if new users should be allowed to register. This parameter is useful in conjunction with Shibboleth where you want to disallow registration because Shibboleth will automatically register the user. Default value is true.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.editmetadata = true

Informational Note:

Determines if users should be able to edit their own metadata. This parameter is useful in conjunction with Shibboleth where you want to disable the user's ability to edit their metadata because it came from Shibboleth. Default value is true.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.assumelogon = true

Informational Note:

Determine if super administrators (those whom are in the Administrators group) can login as another user from the "edit eperson" page. This is useful for debugging problems in a running dspace instance, especially in the workflow process. The default value is false, i.e., no one may assume the login of another usercame from Shibboleth. Default value is true.

Example Value:

xmlui.user.loginredirect = /profile

Informational Note:

After a user has logged into the system, which url should they be directed? Leave this parameter blank or undefined to direct users to the homepage, or /profile for the user's profile, or another reasonable choice is /submissions to see if the user has any tasks awaiting their attention. The default is the repository home page.

Example Value:

xmlui.theme.allowoverrides = false

Informational Note:

Allow the user to override which theme is used to display a particular page. When submitting a request add the HTTP parameter "themepath" which corresponds to a particular theme, that specified theme will be used instead of the any other configured theme. Note that this is a potential security hole allowing execution of unintended code on the server, this option is only for development and debugging it should be turned off for any production repository. The default value unless otherwise specified is "false".

Example Value:

xmlui.bundle.upload = ORIGINAL, METADATA, THUMBNAIL, LICENSE, CC_LICENSE

Informational Note:

Determine which bundles administrators and collection administrators may upload into an existing item through the administrative interface. If the user does not have the appropriate privileges (add and write) on the bundle then that bundle will not be shown to the user as an option.

Example Value:

xmlui.community-list.render.full = true

Informational Note:

On the community-list page should all the metadata about a community/collection be available to the theme. This parameter defaults to true, but if you are experiencing performance problems on the community-list page you should experiment with turning this option off.

Example Value:

xmlui.community-list.cache = 12 hours

Informational Note:

Normally, Manakin will fully verify any cache pages before using a cache copy. This means that when the community-list page is viewed the database is queried for each community/collection to see if their metadata has been modified. This can be expensive for repositories with a large community tree. To help solve this problem you can set the cache to be assumed valued for a specific set of time. The downside of this is that new or editing communities/collections may not show up the website for a period of time.

Example Value:

xmlui.bistream.mods = true

Informational Note:

Optionally, you may configure Manakin to take advantage of metadata stored as a bitstream. The MODS metadata file must be inside the "METADATA" bundle and named MODS.xml. If this option is set to 'true' and the bitstream is present then it is made available to the theme for display.

Example Value:

xmlui.bitstream.mets = true

Informational Note:

Optionally, you may configure Manakin to take advantage of metadata stored as a bitstream. The METS metadata file must be inside the "METADATA" bundle and named METS.xml. If this option is set to "true" and the bitstream is present then it is made available to the theme for display.

Example Value:

xmlui.google.analytics.key = UA-XXXXXX-X

Informational Note:

If you would like to use Google Analytics to track general website statistics then use the following parameter to provide your analytics key. First sign up for an account at http://analytics.google.com, then create an entry for your repositories website. Google Analytics will give you a snippet of javascript code to place on your site, inside that snip it is your Google Analytics key usually found in the line: _uacct = "UA-XXXXXXX-X" Take this key (just the UA-XXXXXX-X part) and place it here in this parameter.

Example Value:

xmlui.controlpanel.activity.max = 250

Informational Note:

Assign how many page views will be recorded and displayed in the control panel's activity viewer. The activity tab allows an administrator to debug problems in a running DSpace by understanding who and how their dspace is currently being used. The default value is 250.

Example Value:

xmlui.controlpanel.activity.ipheader = X-Forward-For

Informational Note:

Determine where the control panel's activity viewer receives an events IP address from. If your DSpace is in a load balanced environment or otherwise behind a context-switch then you will need to set the parameter to the HTTP parameter that records the original IP address.
