Re: [EP-tech] how to disable actions in eprints

Hey,
Thank you for the information. My original idea was to disable the (conventional) login somehow but was not sure how to handle existing login sessions. Here's what I think I will do:
apache redirect the login route two a page giving information as to why this is disabled 
truncate the loginticket table
switch off the indexer and cronjobs

Thanks again for your help,

Hi Jonathan,

There are several things I would do:

1. Disable the indexer from the admin menu.

1. Modify the phrase cgi/login:page_layout (by default in
/opt/eprints3/lib/lan/en/phrases/system.xml, you can override at an
archive level) to remove the login form.

2. Truncate (i.e. delete all records from) the loginticket table to
remove any current logged in sessions.

4. Edit the EPrints user's crontab to make sure you disable any scripts
that could modify publications data/metadata.

This advice assumes you are using conventional login (not
Shibboleth/ADFS or similar).  Also the access table in the database
will still get records added to it.  However, it sounds like this would
not be an issue, as it would not effect the data/metadata of the
publication records.

Hello,

I need to disable user actions within eprints for a period of time
but
still allow access to it because of existing citations and DOIs that
link back to it. We need to stop any sort of interaction that would
change the data inside, including adding new records, updating
existing
and deleting records.

Would anyone have any advice on how I may achieve this?


Thanks,
