Instead of using the describd plugin above, you can configure a Handle server (version 8+) to resolve handles based on a template. Template handle require less configuration than the plugin, and do not require an additional download. However, there are two things to keep in mind when using template handles:

...

1. Download the CNRI Handle Software: https://www.handle.net/download.html.
2. In the tarball you'll find an README.txt with installation instructions. Follow the directions to install and configure your Handle server. Importantly, make sure your prefixes are set correctly in the "auto_homed_prefixes" setting.

3. Edit the server's config.dct file to include the following line in the " server_config" clause:

   "namespace" = "<namespace><template delimiter'/'><value type='URL' index='1' data='https://demo.dspace.org/jspui/handle/${handle}'/></template></namespace>"

   In the "namespace" section, replace "https://demo.dspace.org/jspui/handle/" with the url endpoint for your DSpace server. The "${handle}" part of the template will be replaced with the full handle to be resolved.

4. If your handle server is running, restart it.
