The dspace.cfg file

Below is a brief "Properties" table for the dspace.cfg file and the documented details are referenced. Please refer to those sections for the complete details of the parameter you are working with.

...

Property:

dspace.dir

Example Value:

/dspace

Informational Note:

Root directory of DSpace installation. Omit the trailing '/'. Note that if you change this, there are several other parameters you will probably want to change to match, e.g. assetstore.dir .

Property:

dspace.hostname

Example Value:

dspace.hostname = dspace.mysu.edu

Informational Note:

Fully qualified hostname; do not include port number.

Property:

dspace.baseUrl

Example Value:

[http://dspacetest.myu.edu:8080]

]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

Informational Note:

Main URL at which DSpace Web UI webapp is deployed. Include any port number, but do not include the trailing '/'.

Property:

dspace.url

Example Value:

dspace.url = ${dspace.baseUrl}/jspui

Informational note

DSpace base URL. URL that determines whether JSPUI or XMLUI will be loaded by default. Include port number etc., but NOT trailing slash. Change to /xmlui if you wish to use the xmlui (Manakin) as the default, or remove "/jspui" and set webapp of your choice as the "ROOT" webapp in the servlet engine.

Property:

dspace.oai.url

Example Value:

dspace.oai.url = ${dspace.baseUrl}/oai

Informational note:

The base URL of the OAI webapp (do not include /request).

Property:

Informational Note:

Short and sweet site name, used throughout Web UI, e-mails and elsewhere (such as OAI protocol)

...

Property:

assetstore.dir

Example Value:

assetstore.dir = ${dspace.dir}/assetstore

Informational Note:

This is Asset (bitstream) store number 0 (Zero). You need not place your assetstore under the /dspace directory, but may want to place it on a different logical volume on the server that DSpace resides. So, you might have something like this: assetstore.dir = /storevgm/assestore .

Property:

Code Block
assetstore.dir.1
assetstore.dir.2

Example Value:

Code Block
assetstore.dir.1 = /second/assetstore
assetstore.dir.2 = /third/assetstore

Informational Note:

This property specifies extra asset stores like the one above, counting from one (1) upwards. This property is commented out (#) until it is needed.

Property:

assetstore.incoming

Example Value:

assetstore.incoming = 1

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="a9dab6c1cc6bca7b-d6944732-44504136-81e0a1cf-fc4a69358a72886b7eec2521"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[

Informational Note:

Informational Note: Specify the number of the store to use for new bitstreams with this property. The default is 0 [zero] which corresponds to the 'assestore.dir' above. As the asset store number is stored in the item metadata (in the database), always keep the assetstore numbering consistent and don't change the asset store number in the item metadata.

...

  1. By explicitly specifying to the user which attribute (header) carries the email address.
  2. By turning on the user-email-using-tomcat=true which means the software will attempt to acquire the user's email from Tomcat.
    The first option takes Precedence when specified. both options can be enabled to allow for fallback.

    Property:

    authentication.shib.email-header

    Example Value:

    authentication.shib.email-header = MAIL

    Informational Note:

    The option specifies that the email comes from the mentioned header. This value is CASE-Sensitive.

    Property:

    authentication.shib.firstname-header

    Example Value:

    authentication.shib.firstname-header = SHIB-EP-GIVENNAME

    Informational Note:

    Optional. Specify the header that carries the user's first name. This is going to be used for the creation of new-user.

    Property:

    authentication.shib.lastname-header

    Example Value:

    authentication.shib.lastname-header = SHIB-EP-SURNAME

    Informational Note:

    Optional. Specify the header that carries user's last name. This is used for creation of new user.

    Property:

    authentication.shib.email-use-tomcat-remote-user

    Example Value:

    authentication.shib.email-use-tomcat-remote-user = true

    Informational Note:

    This option forces the software to acquire the email from Tomcat.

    Property:

    authentication.shib.autoregister

    Example Value:

    authentication.shib.autoregister = true

    Informational Note:

    Option will allow new users to be registered automatically if the IdP provides sufficient information (and the user does not exist in DSpace).

    Property:

    Code Block
    authentication.shib.role-header
    authentication.shib-role.header.ignore-scope

    Example Value:

    Code Block
    authentication.shib.role-header = Shib-EP-ScopedAffiliation
    authentication.shib-role.header.ignore-scope = true

    or

    Code Block
    authentication.shib.role-header = Shib-EP-UnscopedAffiliation
     authentication.shib-role.header.ignore-scope = false

    Informational Note:

    These two options specify which attribute that is responsible for providing user's roles to DSpace and unscope the attributes if needed. When not specified, it is defaulted to 'Shib-EP-UnscopedAffiliation', and ignore-scope is defaulted to 'false'. The value is specified in AAP.xml (Shib 1.3.x) or attribute-filter.xml (Shib 2.x). The value is CASE-Sensitive. The values provided in this header are separated by semi-colon or comma. If your sp service provider (SP) only provides scoped role header, you need to set authentication.shib.role-header.ignore-Scope as 'true'. For example if you only get Shib-EP-ScopedAffiliation instead of Shib-EP-ScopedAffiliation, you name to make your settings as in the example value above.

    Property:

    authentication.shib.default-roles

    Example Value:

    authentication.shib.default-roles = Staff, Walk-ins

    Informational Note:

    When user is fully authN or IdP but would not like to release his/her roles to DSpace (for privacy reasons?), what should the default roles be given to such user. The values are separated by semi-colon or comma.

    Property:

    Code Block
    authentication.shib.role.Senior\ Researcher
    authentication.shib.role.Librarian

    Example Value:

    Code Block
    authentication.shib.role.Senior\ Researcher = Researcher, Staff
    authentication.shib.role.Librarian = Administrator

    Informational Note:

    The following mappings specify role mapping between IdP and Dspace. The left side of the entry is IdP's role (prefixed with 'authentication.shib.role.') which will be mapped to the right entry from DSpace. DSpace's group as indicated on the right entry has to EXIST in DSpace, otherwise user will be identified as 'anonymous'. Multiple values on the right entry should be separated by comma. The values are CASE-Sensitive. Heuristic one-to-one mapping will be done when the IdP groups entry are not listed below (i.e. if 'X' group in IdP is not specified here, then it will be mapped to 'X' group in DSpace if it exists, otherwise it will be mapped to simply 'anonymous'). Given sufficient demand, future release could support regex for the mapping special characters need to be escaped by '\'

...

Standard LDAP Configuration

Property:

ldap.enable

Example Value:

ldap.enable = false

Informational Note:

This setting will enable or disable LDAP authentication in DSpace. With the setting off, users will be required to register and login with their email address. With this setting on, users will be able to login and register with their LDAP user ids and passwords.

Property:

ldap.provider_url

Example Value:

ldap.provider_url = ldap://ldap.myu.edu/o=myu.edu

Informational Note:

This is the url to your institution's LDAP server. You may or may not need the /o=myu.edu part at the end. Your server may also require the ldaps:// protocol.

Property:

ldap.id_field

Example Value:

ldap.id_field = uid

Explanation:

This is the unique identifier field in the LDAP directory where the username is stored.

Property:

ldap.object_context

Example Value:

ldap.object_context = ou=people, o=myu.edu

Informational Note:

This is the object context used when authenticating the user. It is appended to the ldap.id_field and username. For example uid=username,ou=people,o=myu.edu. You will need to modify this to match your LDAP configuration.

Property:

ldap.search_context

Example Value:

ldap.search_context = ou=people

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="e64def5634e5a2c8-ae118d40-4afe452a-97ac9638-378ed759ce66cb9e53d08231"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[

Informational Note:

This is the search context used when looking up a user's LDAP object to retrieve their data for autoregistering. With ldap.autoregister turned on, when a user authenticates without an EPerson object we search the LDAP directory to get their name and email address so that we can create one for them. So after we have authenticated against uid=username,ou=people,o=byu.edu we now search in ou=people for filtering on [uid=username]. Often the ldap.search_context is the same as the ldap.object_context parameter. But again this depends on your LDAP server configuration.

]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>

Property:

ldap.email_field

Example Value:

ldap.email_field = mail

Informational Note:

This is the LDAP object field where the user's email address is stored. "mail" is the default and the most common for ldap LDAP servers. If the mail field is not found the username will be used as the email address when creating the eperson object.

Property:

ldap.surname_field

Example Value:

ldap.surname_field = sn

Informational Note:

This is the LDAP object field where the user's last name is stored. "sn" is the default and is the most common for LDAP servers. If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the new eperson object.

Property:

ldap.givenname_field

Example Value:

ldap.givenname_field = givenName

Informational Note:

This is the LDAP object field where the user's given names are stored. I'm not sure how common the givenName field is in different LDAP instances. If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the new eperson object.

Property:

ldap.phone_field

Example Value:

ldap.phone_field = telephoneNumber

Informational Note:

This is the field where the user's phone number is stored in the LDAP directory. If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the new eperson object.

Property:

webui.ldap.autoregister

Example Value:

webui.ldap.autoregister = true

Informational Note:

This will turn LDAP autoregistration on or off. With this on, a new EPerson object will be created for any user who successfully authenticates against the LDAP server when they first login. With this setting off, the user must first register to get an EPerson object by entering their ldap username and password and filling out the forms.

LDAP Users Group

Property:

ldap.login.specialgroup

Example Value:

ldap.login.specialgroup = group-name

Informational Note:

If required, a group name can be given here, and all users who log into LDAP will automatically become members of this group. This is useful if you want a group made up of all internal authenticated users. (Remember to log on as the administrator, add this to the "Groups" with read rights).

Wiki Markup
In the property key "{{crosswalk.qdc.properties.QDC}}" the value of this property is a path to a separate properties file containing the configuration for this crosswalk. The pathname is relative to the DSpace configuration directory {{/\[dspace\]/config}} . Referring back to the "Example Value" for this property key, one has {{crosswalks/qdc.properties}} which defines a crosswalk named {{QDC}} whose configuration comes from the file {{\[dspace\]/config/crosswalks/qdc.properties}} .

...

  1. Setter. The default setter recognizes only two expressions of terms: either a literal, non-relative date in the fixed format 'yyyy-mm-dd' (known as ISO 8601), or a special string used for open-ended embargo (the default configured value for this is 'forever', but this can be changed in dspace.cfg to 'toujours', 'unendlich', etc). It will perform a minimal sanity check that the date is not in the past. Similarly, the default setter will only remove all read policies as noted above, rather than applying more nuanced rules (e.g allow access to certain IP groups, deny the rest). Fortunately, the setter class itself is configurable and you can 'plug in' any behavior you like, provided it is written in java and conforms to the setter interface. The dspace.cfg property:
    Code Block
    # implementation of embargo setter plugin - replace with local implementation if applicable
    plugin.single.org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoSetter = org.dspace.embargo.DefaultEmbargoSetter
    controls which setter to use.
  2. Lifter.The default lifter behavior as described above‚ essentially applying the collection policy rules to the item‚Äîmight item‚ might also not be sufficient for all purposes. It also can be replaced with another class:
    Code Block
    # implementation of embargo lifter plugin--replace with local implementation if applicable
    plugin.single.org.dspace.embargo.EmbargoLifter = org.dspace.embargo.DefaultEmbargoLifter

...

  1. Simple Dates.If you want to enter simple calendar dates for when an embargo will expire, follow these steps.
    1. Select a metadata field. Let's use dc.description.embargo. This field does not exist in in the default DSpace metadata directory, so login as an administrator, go the metadata registry page, select the 'dc' schema, then add the metadata field.
    2. Wiki Markup
      Expose the metadata field. Edit _\[dspace\]/config/input-forms.xml_ . If you have only one form‚Äîusuallyform‚ usually 'traditional', add it there. If you have multiple forms, add it only to the forms linked to collections for which embargo applies:
      Code Block
      <form name="traditional">
          <page number="1">
            ...
             <field>
               <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
               <dc-element>description</dc-element>
               <dc-qualifier>embargo</dc-qualifier>
               <repeatable>false</repeatable>
               <label>Embargo Date</label>
               <input-type>onebox</input-type>
               <hint>If required, enter date 'yyyy-mm-dd' when embargo expires or 'forever'.</hint>
               <required></required>
             </field>
      
      Note: if you want to require embargo terms for every item, put a phrase in the <required> element. Example:<required>You must enter an embargo date</required>
    3. Wiki Markup
      Configure Embargo. Edit _\[dspace\]/config/dspace.cfg_. Find the Embargo properties and set these two:
      Code Block
      # DC metadata field to hold the user-supplied embargo terms
      embargo.field.terms = dc.description.embargo
      
      # DC metadata field to hold computed "lift date" of embargo
      embargo.field.lift = dc.description.embargo
    4. Restart DSpace application. This will pick up these changes. Now just enter future dates (if applicable) in web submission and the items will be placed under embargo. You can enter years ('2020'), years and months ('2020-12'), or also days ('2020-12-15').
    5. Wiki Markup
      Periodically run the lifter. Run the task:_\[dspace\]/bin/dspace embargo-lifter_You will want to run this task in a cron-scheduled or other repeating way. Item embargoes will be lifted as their dates pass.
  2. Period Sets. If you wish to use a fixed set of time periods (e.g. 90 days, 6 months and 1 year) as embargo terms, follow these steps, which involve using a custom 'setter'.
    1. Select two metadata fields. Let's use 'dc.embargo.terms' and 'dc.embargo.lift'. These fields do not exist in the default DSpace metadata registry. Login as an administrator, go the metadata registry page, select the 'dc' schema, then add the metadata fields.
    2. Wiki Markup
      Expose the 'term' metadata field. The lift field will be assigned by the embargo system, so it should not be exposed directly. Edit _\[dspace\]/config/input-forms.xml_ . If you have only one form (usually 'traditional') add it there. If you have multiple forms, add it only to the form(s) linked to collection(s) for which embargo applies. First, add the new field to the 'form definition':
      Code Block
      <form name="traditional">
          <page number="1">
            ...
             <field>
               <dc-schema>dc</dc-schema>
               <dc-element>embargo</dc-element>
               <dc-qualifier>terms</dc-qualifier>
               <repeatable>false</repeatable>
               <label>Embargo Terms</label>
               <input-type value-pairs-name="embargo_terms">dropdown</input-type>
               <hint>If required, select embargo terms.</hint>
               <required></required>
               </field>
      Note: If you want to require embargo terms for every item, put a phrase in the <required> element, e.g._<required>You must select embargo terms</required>_Observe that we have referenced a new value-pair list: "embargo_terms'. We must now define that as well (only once even if references by multiple forms):
      Code Block
      <form-value-pairs>
         ...
         <value-pairs value-pairs-name="embargo_terms" dc-term="embargo.terms">
           <pair>
             <displayed-value>90 days</displayed-value>
             <stored-value>90 days</stored-value>
           </pair>
           <pair>
             <displayed-value>6 months</displayed-value>
             <stored-value>6 months</stored-value>
           </pair>
           <pair>
             <displayed-value>1 year</displayed-value>
             <stored-value>1 year</stored-value>
           </pair>
         </value-pairs>
      
      Note: if desired, you could localize the language of the displayed value.
    3. Configure Embargo. Edit /dspace/config/dspace.cfg. Find the Embargo properties and set the following properties:
      Code Block
          # DC metadata field to hold the user-supplied embargo terms
          embargo.field.terms = dc.embargo.terms
      
          # DC metadata field to hold computed "lift date" of embargo
          embargo.field.lift = dc.embargo.lift
      
          # implementation of embargo setter plugin - replace with local implementation if applicable

Informational Note:

When showing the strengths, should they be counted in real time, or fetched from the cache. Counts fetched in real time will perform an actual count of the database contents every time a page with this feature is requested, which will not scale. If you set the property key is set to cache ("true") you must run the following command periodically to update the count: /[dspace]/bin/dspace itemcounter. The default is to count in real time (set to "false").

Element

Definition and Options (if available)

webui.browse.index.{<n>

n is the index number. The index numbers must start from 1 and increment continuously by 1 thereafter. Deviation form from this will cause an error during install or a configuration update. So anytime you add a new browse index, remember to increase the number. (Commented out index numbers may be used over again).

<index name>

The name by which the index will be identified. You will need to update your Messages.properties file to match this field. (The form used in the Messages.properties file is: browse.type.metadata.<index name> .

<metadata>

Only two options are available: "metadata" or "item"

<schema prefix>

The schema used for the field to be index. The default is dc (for Dublin Core).

<element>

The schema element. In Dublin Core, for example, the author element is referred to as "Contributor". The user should consult the default Dublin Core Metadata Registry table in Appendix A.

<qualifier>

This is the qualifier to the <element> component. The user has two choices: an asterisk "" or a proper qualifier of the element. The asterisk is a wildcard and causes DSpace to index all types of the schema element. For example, if you have the element "contributor" and the qualifier "" then you would index all contributor data regardless of the qualifier. Another example, you have the element "subject" and the qualifier "lcsh" would cause the indexing of only those fields that have the qualifier "lcsh". (This means you would only index Library of Congress Subject Headings and not all data elements that are subjects.

<datatype field>

This refers to the datatype of the field:
date the index type will be treated as a date object
title the index type will be treated like a title, which will include a link to the item page
text the index type will be treated as plain text. If single mode is specified then this will link to the full mode list

<index display>

Choose full or single. This refers to the way that the index will be displayed in the browse listing. "Full" will be the full item list as specified by webui.itemlist.columns ; "single" will be a single list of only the indexed term.

...

Property:

webui.browse.metadata.case-insensitive

Example Value:

webui.browse.metadata.case-insensitive = true

Informational Note:

This controls the normalization of the index entry. Uncommenting the option (which is commented out by default) will make the metadata items case-insensitive. This will result in a single entry in the example above. However, the value displayed may be any one of the above‚Äîdepending above‚ depending on what representation was present in the first item indexed.

...

This will enable syndication feeds‚Äîlinks feeds‚ links display on community and collection home pages. This setting is not used by the XMLUI, as you enable feeds in your theme.

...

The following configuration is used to change the disposition behavior of the browser. That is, when the browser will attempt to open the file or download it to the user's -specified location. For example, the default size is 8Mb8MB. When an item being viewed is larger than 8MB, the browser will download the file to the desktop (or wherever you have it set to download) and the user will have to open it manually.

Property:

webui.content_disposition_threshold

Example value:

webui.content_disposition_threshold = 8388608

Informational Note:

The default value is set to 8Mb8MB. This property key applies to the JSPUI interface.

Property:

xmlui.content_disposition_threshold

Example Value:

xmlui.content_disposition_threshold = 8388608

Informational Note:

The default value is set to 8Mb8MB. This property key applies to the XMLUI (Manakin) interface.

...

Property:

webui.licence_bundle.show

Example Value:

webui.licence_bundle.show = false

Informational Note:

Sets whether to display the contents of the license bundle (often just the deposit license in the standard DSpace installation).

Property:

webui.itemdisplay.default

Example Value:

Code Block
webui.itemdisplay.default = dc.title, dc.title.alternative, \
           dc.contributor.*, dc.subject, dc.data.issued(date), \
           dc.publisher, dc.identifier.citation, \
           dc.relation.ispartofseries, dc.description.abstract, \
           dc.description, dc.identifier.govdoc, \
           dc.identifier.uri(link), dc.identifier.isbn, \
           dc.identifier.issn, dc.identifier.ismn, dc.identifier 

Informational Note:

This is used to customize the DC metadata fields that display in the item display (the brief display) when pulling up a record. The format is: <schema>.<element>.<{}optional{}qualifier> . In place of the qualifier, one can use the wildcard "*" to include all fields of the same element, or, leave it blank for unqualified elements. Additionally, two additional options are available for behavior/rendering: (date) and (link). See the following examples:

dc.title = Dublin Core element 'title' (unqualified)
dc.title.alternative = DC element 'title', qualifier 'alternative'
dc.title.* = All fields with Dublin Core element 'title' (any or no qualifier)
dc.identifier.uri(link) = DC identifier.uri, rendered as a link
dc.date.issued(date) = DC date.issued, rendered as a date
The Messages.properties file controls how the fields defined above will display to the user. If the field is missing from the _Messages.properties_ file, it will not be displaydisplayed. Look in Messages.properties}}under {{metadata.dc.<field>. Example:
metadata.dc.contributor.other = Authors
metadata.dc.contributor.author = Authors
metadata.dc.title.* = Title
Please note: The order in which you place the values to the property key control the order in which they will display to the user on the outside world. (See the Example Value above).

Property:

Code Block
webui.resolver.1.urn
webui.resolver.1.baseurl
webui.resolver.2.urn
webui.resolver.2.baseurl

Example Value:

Code Block
webui.resolver.1.urn = doi
webui.resolver.1.baseurl = http://dx.doi.org/
webui.resolver.2.urn = hdl
webui.resolver.2.baseurl = http://hdl.handle.net/

Informational Note:

When using "resolver" in webui.itemdisplay to render identifiers as resolvable links, the base URL is take from <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> where <code>webui.resolver.<n>.baseurl<code> matches the urn specified in the metadata value. The value is appended to the "baseurl" as is, so the baseurl needs to end with the forward slash almost in any case. If no urn is specified in the value it will be displayed as simple text. For the doi and hdl urn defaults values are provided, respectively http://dc.doi.org and http://hdl.handle.net are used. If a metadata value with style "doi", "handle" or "resolver" matches a URL already, it is simply rendered as a link with no other manipulation.

Property:

plugin.single.org.dspace.app.webui.util.StyleSelection

Example Value:

Code Block
plugin.single.org.dspace.app.webui.util.StyleSelection = \
  org.dspace.app.web.util.CollectionStyleSelection
  #org.dspace.app.web.util.MetadataStyleSelection

Informational Note:

Specify which strategy to use for select the style for an item.

Property:

webui.itemdisplay.thesis.collections

Example Value:

webui.itemdisplay.thesis.collections = 123456789/24, 123456789/35

Informational Note:

Specify which collections use which views by Handle.

Property:

Code Block
webui.itemdisplay.metadata-style
webui.itemdisplay.metadata-sylestyle

Example Value:

Code Block
webui.itemdisplay.metadata-style = schema.element[.qualifier|.*]
webui.itemdisplay.metadata-sylestyle = dc.type

Informational Note:

Specify which metadata to use as name of the style

Property:

webui.itemlist.columns

Example Value:

Code Block
webui.itemlist.columns = thumbnail, dc.date.issued(date), dc.title, \
          dc.contributor.*

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="unmigrated-wiki-markup" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="9a93f30b0ebf5057-68368c1c-47e94995-93b2a223-d7f424288ca5bb90454a92fe"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[

Informational Note:

Customize the DC fields to use in the item listing page. Elements will be displayed left to right in the order they are specified here. The form is <schema prefix>.<element>[.<qualifier> | .*][(date)], ...
]]></ac:plain-text-body></ac:structured-macro>
Although not a requirement, it would make sense to include among the listed fields at least the date and title fields as specified by the* webui.browse.index. configuration options in the next section mentioned. (cf.)
If you have enabled thumbnails (webui.browse.thumbnail.show), you must also include a 'thumbnail' entry in your columns‚Äîthis columns‚ this is where the thumbnail will be displayed.

Property:

webui.itemlist.width

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.width = *, 130, 60%, 40%

Informational Note:

You can customize the width of each column with the following line--you can have numbers (pixels) or percentages. For the 'thumbnail' column, a setting of '*' will use the max width specified for browse thumbnails (cf. webui.browse.thumbnail.maxwidth, thumbnail.maxwidth)

Property:

Code Block
webui.itemlist.browse.<index name>.sort.<sort name>.columns
webui.itemlist.sort.<sort name>.columns
webui.itemlist.browse.<browse name>.columns
webui.itemlist.<sort or index name>.columns

Example Value:

_}}

Informational Note:

You can override the DC fields used on the listing page for a given browse index and/or sort option. As a sort option or index may be defined on a field that isn't normally included in the list, this allows you to display the fields that have been indexed/sorted on. There are a number of forms the configuration can take, and the order in which they are listed below is the priority in which they will be used (so a combination of an index name and sort name will take precedence over just the browse name).In the last case, a sort option name will always take precedence over a browse index name. Note also, that for any additional columns you list, you will need to ensure there is an itemlist.<field name> entry in the messages file.

Property:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.columns

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.columns = thumbnail, dc.date.accessioned(date), dc.title, dc.contributor.*

Informational Note:

This would display the date of the accession in place f of the issue date whenever the dateaccessioned browsed index or sort option is selected. Just like webui.itemlist.columns, you will need to include a 'thumbnail' entry to display the thumbnails in the item list.

Property:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.widths

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.dateaccessioned.widths = *, 130, 60%, 40%

Informational Note:

As in the aforementioned property key, you can customize the width of the columns for each configured column list, substituting '.widths' for '.columns' in the property name. See the setting for _webui.itemlist.widths_ for more information.

Property:

webui.itemlist.tablewidth

Example Value:

webui.itemlist.tablewidth = 100%

Informational Note:

You can also set the overall size of the item list table with the following setting. It can lead to faster table rendering when used with the column widths above, but not generally recommended.

Property:

webui.session.invalidate

Example Value:

webui.session.invalidate = true

Property:

webui.controlledvocabulary.enable

Example Value:

webui.controlledvocabulary.enable = true

Informational Note:

Enable or disable the controlled vocabulary add-on. WARNING: This feature is not compatible with WAI (it requires javascript JavaScript to function).

The need for a limited set of keywords is important since it eliminates the ambiguity of a free description system, consequently simplifying the task of finding specific items of information.

Your You are free to use any application you want to create your controlled vocabularies. A simple text editor should be enough for small projects. Bigger projects will require more complex tools. You may use Proteg√© Protegé to create your taxonomies, save them as OWL and then use a XML Stylesheet (XSLT) to transform your documents to the appropriate format. Future enhancements to this add-on should make it compatible with standard schemas such as OWL or RDF.

In order to make DSpace compatible with WAI 2.0, the add-on is turned off by default (the add-on relies strongly on Javascript JavaScript to function). It can be activated by setting the following property in dspace.cfg:

...

Property:

xmlui.supported.locales

Example Value:

xmlui.supported.locales = en, de

Informational Note:

A list of supported locales for Manakin. Manakin will look at a user's browser configuration for the first language that appears in this list to make available to in the interface. This parameter is a comma separated list of Locales. All types of Locales country, country_language, country_language_variant. Note that if the appropriate files are not present (i.e. Messages_XX_XX.xml) then Manakin will fall back through to a more general language.

Property:

xmlui.force.ssl

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.

Property:

xmlui.user.registration

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.

Property:

xmlui.user.editmetadata

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.

Property:

xmlui.user.assumelogon

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 user.

Property:

xmlui.user.loginredirect

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.

Property:

xmlui.theme.allowoverrides

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".

Property:

xmlui.bundle.upload

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.

Property:

xmlui.community-list.render.full

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.

Property:

xmlui.community-list.cache

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.

Property:

xmlui.bistream.mods

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.

Property:

xmlui.bitstream.mets

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.

Property:

xmlui.google.analytics.key

Example Value:

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

Informational Note:

If you would like to use Google analytics 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 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.

Property:

xmlui.controlpanel.activity.max

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.

Property:

xmlui.controlpanel.activity.ipheader

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.

Informational Note:

Max response size for DIDL. This is the maximum size in bytes of the files you wish to enclose Base64 encoded in your responses, remember that the base64 encoding process uses a lot of memory. We recommend at most 200000 for answers of 30 records each on a 1 Gigabyte machine. Ultimately this will change to a streaming model and remove this restriction. Also please remember to allocate plenty of memory, at least 512 MB to your Tomcat. Optional: DSpace uses 100 records as the limit for the oai responses. You can alter this by changing /[dspace-source]/dspace-oai/dspace-oai-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/oai/DSpaceOAICatalog.java to codify the declaration: private final int MAX_RECORDS = 100 to private final int MAX_RECORDS = 30

ore.authoritative.source = oai | xmlui

Informational Note:

The webapp responsible for minting the URIs for ORE Resource Maps. If using oai, the dspace.oai.uri config value must be set. The URIs generated for ORE ReMs follow the following convention for both cases._baseURI/metadata/handle/theHandle/ore.xml}}

Property:

harvester.autoStart

Example Value:

harvester.autoStart = false

Informational Note:

Determines whether the harvest scheduler process starts up automatically when the XMLUI webapp is redeployed.

Property:

harvester.oai.metadataformats.PluginName

Example Value:

Code Block
harvester.oai.metadataformats.PluginName = \
http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/, Simple Dublin Core

Informational Note:

This field can be repeated and serves as a link between the metadata formats supported by the local repository and those supported by the remote OAI-PMH provider. It follows the form harvester.oai.metadataformats.PluginName = NamespaceURI,Optional Display Name . The pluginName designates the metadata schemas that the harvester "knows" the local DSpace repository can support. Consequently, the PluginName must correspond to a previously declared ingestion crosswalk. The namespace value is used during negotiation with the remote OAI-PMH provider, matching it against a list returned by the ListMetadataFormats request, and resolving it to whatever metadataPrefix the remote provider has assigned to that namespace. Finally, the optional display name is the string that will be displayed to the user when setting up a collection for harvesting. If omitted, the PluginName:NamespaceURI combo will be displayed instead.

Property:

harvester.oai.oreSerializationFormat.OREPrefix

Example Value:

Code Block
harvester.oai.oreSerializationFormat.OREPrefix = \
http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom

Informational Note:

This field works in much the same way as harvester.oai.metadataformats.PluginName . The OREPrefix must correspond to a declared ingestion crosswalk, while the Namespace must be supported by the target OAI-PMH provider when harvesting content.

Property:

harvester.timePadding

Example Value:

harvester.timePadding = 120

Informational Note:

Amount of time subtracted from the from argument of the PMH request to account for the time taken to negotiate a connection. Measured in seconds. Default value is 120.

Property:

harvester.harvestFrequency

Example Value:

harvester.harvestFrequency = 720

Informational Note:

How frequently the harvest scheduler checks the remote provider for updates. Should always be longer than _timePadding _. Measured in minutes. Default value is 720.

Property:

harvester.minHeartbeat

Example Value:

harvester.minHeartbeat = 30

Informational Note:

The heartbeat is the frequency at which the harvest scheduler queries the local database to determine if any collections are due for a harvest cycle (based on the harvestFrequency) value. The scheduler is optimized to then sleep until the next collection is actually ready to be harvested. The minHeartbeat and maxHeartbeat are the lower and upper bounds on this timeframe. Measured in seconds. Default value is 30.

Property:

harvester.maxHeartbeat

Example Value:

harvester.maxHeartbeat = 3600

Informational Note:

The heartbeat is the frequency at which the harvest scheduler queries the local database to determine if any collections are due for a harvest cycle (based on the harvestFrequency) value. The scheduler is optimized to then sleep until the next collection is actually ready to be harvested. The minHeartbeat and maxHeartbeat are the lower and upper bounds on this timeframe. Measured in seconds. Default value is 3600 (1 hour).

Property:

harvester.maxThreads

Example Value:

harvester.maxThreads = 3

Informational Note:

How many harvest process threads the scheduler can spool up at once. Default value is 3.

Property:

harvester.threadTimeout

Example Value:

harvester.threadTimeout = 24

Informational Note:

How much time passes before a harvest thread is terminated. The termination process waits for the current item to complete ingest and saves progress made up to that point. Measured in hours. Default value is 24.

Property:

harvester.unknownField

Example Value:

harvester.unkownField = fail | add | ignore

Informational Note:

You have three (3) choices. When a harvest process completes for a single item and it has been passed through ingestion crosswalks for ORE and its chosen descriptive metadata format, it might end up with DIM values that have not been defined in the local repository. This setting determines what should be done in the case where those DIM values belong to an already declared schema. Fail will terminate the harvesting task and generate an error. Ignore will quietly omit the unknown fields. Add will add the missing field to the local repository's metadata registry. Default value: fail.

Property:

harvester.unknownSchema

Example Value:

harvester.unknownSchema = fail | add | ignore

Informational Note:

When a harvest process completes for a single item and it has been passed through ingestion crosswalks for ORE and its chosen descriptive metadata format, it might end up with DIM values that have not been defined in the local repository. This setting determines what should be done in the case where those DIM values belong to an unknown schema. Fail will terminate the harvesting task and generate an error. Ignore will quietly omit the unknown fields. Add will add the missing schema to the local repository's metadata registry, using the schema name as the prefix and "unknown" as the namespace. Default value: fail.

Property:

harvester.acceptedHandleServer

Example Value:

Code Block
harvester.acceptedHandleServer = \
hdl.handle.net, handle.test.edu

Informational Note:

A harvest process will attempt to scan the metadata of the incoming items (identifier.uri field, to be exact) to see if it looks like a handle. If so, it matches the pattern against the values of this parameter. If there is a match the new item is assigned the handle from the metadata value instead of minting a new one. Default value: hdl.handle.net.

Property:

harvester.rejectedHandlePrefix

Example Value:

harvester.rejectedHandlePrefix = 123456789, myeduHandle

Informational Note:

Pattern to reject as an invalid handle prefix (known test string, for example) when attempting to find the handle of harvested items. If there is a match with this config parameter, a new handle will be minted instead. Default value: 123456789.

Example Value:

sword.deposit.url = http://www.myu.ac.uk/sword/deposit_

Informational Note:

The base URL of the SWORD deposit. This is the URL from which DSpace will construct the deposit location urls URLs for collections. The default is {dspace.url}/sword/deposit.

Informational Note:

Collection Specific settings: these will be used on the collections with the given handles.

Properties:

sword.expose-items

Example Value:

sword.expose-items = false

Informational Note:

Should the server offer up items in collections as sword deposit targets. This will be effected by placing a URI in the collection description which will list all the allowed items for the depositing user in that collection on request. NOTE: this will require an implementation of deposit onto items, which will not be forthcoming for a short while.

Properties:

sword.expose-communities

Example Value:

sword.expose-communities = false

Informational Note:

Should the server offer as the default the list of all Communities to a Service Document request. If false, the server will offer the list of all collections, which is the default and recommended behavior at this stage. NOTE: a service document for Communities will not offer any viable deposit targets, and the client will need to request the list of Collections in the target before deposit can continue.

Properties:

Example Value:

sword.max-upload-size = 0

Informational Note:

The maximum upload size of a package through the sword interface, in bytes. This will be the combined size of all the files, the metadata and any manifest data.

Properties:

sword.keep-original-package

Example Value:

sword.keep-original-package = true

Informational Note:

Whether or not DSpace should store a copy of the original sword deposit package. NOTE: this will cause the deposit process to run slightly slower, and will accelerate the rate at which the repository consumes disk space. BUT, it will also mean that the deposited packages are recoverable in their original form. It is strongly recommended, therefore, to leave this option turned on. When set to "true", this requires that the configuration option upload.temp.dir above is set to a valid location.

Properties:

sword.bundle.name

Example Value:

sword.bundle.name = SWORD

Informational Note:

The bundle name that SWORD should store incoming packages under if sword.keep-original-package is set to true. The default is "SWORD" if not value is set

Properties:

Informational Note:

Configure the plugins to process incoming packages. The form of this configuration is as per the Plugin Manager's Named Plugin documentation: {{plugin.named.[interface] = [implementation] = [package format identifier] }}. Package ingesters should implement the SWORDIngester interface, and will be loaded when a package of the format specified above in: {{sword.accept-packaging.[package format].identifier = [package format identifier]}}is received. In the event that this is a simple file deposit, with no package format, then the class named by "SimpleFileIngester" will be loaded and executed where appropriate. This case will only occur when a single file is being deposited into an existing DSpace Item.
