configuration handle server in DSPace

[Leidy Madroñero]

a greeting

I am configuring the handle server with dspace 6.2, but I have the following questions:

What lines of the file local.cfg and dspace.cfg should I change?

At the end of this configuration, is it necessary to rebuild DSpace?

[Jose Antonio Galeano Cardenas]

Hi! It really depends on your configuration but assuming your are running a simple installation you must consider:

dspace.dir

dspace.hostname
dspace.baseUrl

db.url
db.username
db.password

mail.server
mail.server.username
mail.server.password
mail.server.port
mail.from.address

mail.admin

Also if you will assing DOI to your items check that section and the handle section. Like I said it really depends on your enviroment .

I was really referring to the Handle configuration.

I have performed the steps of:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-TheHandleServer

but there at no time he says that he must modify the file dspace.cfg or local.cfg. However, in these files there is a handle configuration and I would like to know which lines of this configuration I should change and if to finish it is necessary to rebuild DSpace:

##### Handle settings ######

# Canonical Handle URL prefix

#handle.canonical.prefix = ${dspace.url}/handle/

# handle.canonical.prefix = http://hdl.handle.net/
# handle.canonical.prefix = https://hdl.handle.net/

# CNRI Handle prefix
# (Defaults to a dummy/fake prefix of 123456789)
#handle.prefix = 123456789

# Directory for installing Handle server files
#handle.dir = ${dspace.dir}/handle-server

# handle.additional.prefixes = prefix1[, prefix2]

# handle.hide.listhandles = false

thanks for your answer

Thank you for asking. The documentation has been corrected by adding
this to step 4:

Also change the value of handle.prefix in [dspace]/config/local.cfg
from "123456789" to your assigned naming authority prefix, so that
DSpace will use that prefix in assigning new Handles.

Rebuilding is not necessary.
