Test environment:

Oracle Berkeley DB XML

adapted from: http://www.muradora.org/muradora/wiki/InstallingRampPDP

  1. dbxml (versions prior to 2.5 include xerces-c 2.x, which does not build correctly in OS X 10.6)
    ./buildall.sh --prefix=/usr/local/dbxml-2.5.13 --enable-java
    
    Note: this is a quite lengthy build. Take the dog for a walk and come back. 
  2. set environment variables
    export DBXML_HOME=/usr/local/dbxml-2.5.13
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${DBXML_HOME}/lib
    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=${DBXML_HOME}/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
    
    (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH might only be necessary for OS X)
  3. Windows warning:  Oracle priovides only a 32-bit MSI.  64-bit Windows will require a build from source.

fcrepo-security-jaas

  1. Configure the $FEDORA_HOME/server/config/jaas.conf file.
  2. View the fedora-jaas documentation: FESL Authentication Module
