NOID resolver apache configuration no longer works

[Karl Holten]

Hello,

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been issuing identifiers using NOID but recently had to migrate to a new operating system. The previously working configuration for NOID is no longer redirecting and I am not sure why. The ability to bind and issue ARKs is still working however, so it seems as though the issue is mostly redirecting.

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName digilib.uwm.edu
  DocumentRoot /var/www/noid/gmgs/gmgs_public
  ErrorLog /var/log/noid/public_error_log
  CustomLog /var/log/noid/public_access_log common

SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl/current/liblamp8.cer
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl/current/liblamp8.key

ScriptAliasMatch ^/noidu(.*) "/var/www/noid/gmgs/gmgs_public/noidu$1"
ScriptAliasMatch ^/noidr(.*) "/var/www/noid/gmgs/gmgs_public/noidr$1"

RewriteEngine on
##NOTE: If you would like to create a new shoulder do the following:
## 1. Make a directory for the new shoulder named after it. Run the command to create a new database and move it into public.
## 2. Create copies of the noid binary called noidu and noidr followed by the binary.
## 3. Copy the rewrite map and rules in apache, replacing shoulder where needed.
# External resolution; start program once on server start
RewriteMap  rslv           prg:/var/www/noid/gmgs/gmgs_public/noidr_gmgs

# Main lookup; add artificial prefix for subsequent testing
RewriteRule "^/ark:/(77981/.*)$" "_rslv_${rslv:get $1 where}"

# Test: redirect [R] if it looks like a redirect
RewriteRule ^_rslv_([^:]*://.*)$    $1 [R]
# Test: strip prefix; pass through [PT] if intended for us
RewriteRule ^_rslv_(/.*)$           $1 [PT]
# Test: restore value if lookup failed; let come what may
RewriteRule ^_rslv_$                %{REQUEST_URI}
# Alternative: redirect failed lookup to a global resolver
</VirtualHost>

URL #1:

https://digilib.uwm.edu/noidu_gmgs?fetch+77981/gmgsh44j2g5

Returns:

id: 77981/gmgsh44j2g5 hold 

Circ: i|20241018101356|@10.62.92.248 apache/apache|6 

where: https://www.uwm.edu

URL #2: https://digilib.uwm.edu/ark:/77981/gmgsh44j2g5

Returns: 404 Error

Maybe a certificate problem at www.uwm.edu (or uwm.edu)? Below is what the curl CLI client returns.

$ curl -I https://www.uwm.edu/ark:/77981/gmgsh44j2g5
curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'www.uwm.edu'

It's often helpful to look at the resolver logs to debug what's happening.

[Karl Holten]

There does appear to be an issue with the SSL cert at the destination, but the main problem I'm concerned with is that the redirect is not occurring. I've changed the where value to https://www.yahoo.com so we don't need to worry about the destination URL. It still does not work.

Right. So I think you'll want to follow the instructions in Noid-0.424/README to make sure that the PERL5LIB environment variable is set correctly in your new environment.
