Configuration

The primary mechanism for configuring Deposit Services is through environment variables. This aligns with the patterns used in development and production infrastructure which rely on Docker and its approach to runtime configuration.

Secondary configuration is provided by Spring Boot application.properties. This configuration includes lower-level parameters such as message queues, the base URL of Pass Core, etc.

Repositories Configuration

The Repository configuration contains the parameters used for connecting and depositing custodial material into downstream repositories. The format of the configuration file is JSON, defining multiple downstream repositories in a single file.

Each repository configuration has a top-level key that is used to identify a particular configuration. Importantly, each top-level key must map to a Repository resource within the PASS repository. This means that the top-level keys in repositories.json are not arbitrary. In fact, the top level key must be:

• the value of a Repository.repositoryKey field, which is a Repository resource in the PASS repository.

Deposit Services comes with a default repository configuration, but a production environment should override the default. Defaults are overridden by creating a copy of the default configuration, editing it to suit, and setting PASS_DEPOSIT_REPOSITORY_CONFIGURATION to point to the new location.

Deposit Services is configured at runtime by a configuration file referenced by the system property pass.deposit.repository.configuration or the environment variable PASS_DEPOSIT_REPOSITORY_CONFIGURATION. By default, if the system property or environment variable are not present, the classpath resource /repositories.json is used.

Acceptable values for PASS_DEPOSIT_REPOSITORY_CONFIGURATION must be a form of Spring Resource URI.

A possible repository configuration is replicated below:

    }
  }
}

Customizing Repository Configuration Elements

The repository configuration above will not be suitable for production. A production deployment needs to provide updated authentication credentials and ensure the correct value for the default SWORD collection URL

• default-collection. Each transport-config section should be reviewed for correctness, paying special attention to protocol-binding and auth-realm blocks: update username and password elements, and ensure correct values for URLs.

Values may be parameterized by any property or environment variable.

To create your own configuration, copy and paste the default configuration into an empty file and modify the JSON as described above. The configuration must be referenced by the pass.deposit.repository.configuration property, or is environment equivalent PASS_DEPOSIT_REPOSITORY_CONFIGURATION. Allowed values are any Spring Resource path ( e.g. classpath:/, classpath*:, file:, http://, https://). For example, if your configuration is stored as a file in /etc/deposit-services.json, then you would set the environment variable PASS_DEPOSIT_REPOSITORY_CONFIGURATION=file:/etc/deposit-services.json prior to starting Deposit Services. Likewise, if you kept the configuration accessible at a URL, you could use PASS_DEPOSIT_REPOSITORY_CONFIGURATION=http://example.org/deposit-services.json.

Configuring the NIHMS Email Service

The NIHMS email service is responsible for parsing emails from NIHMS that contain different error codes on deposits. Currently, NIHMS only communicates its deposit status via email. Setting up an email account that will receive emails from NIHMS is a prerequisite. The email account that is set up should be represented by the value of NIHMS_MAIL_USERNAME.

There are two authentication protocols supported by this service. A regular SMTP login credentials and Microsoft Exchange OAuth2. By providing a value of LOGIN or MS_EXCHANGE_OAUTH2 for the environmental value, it will determine which type of authentication to use. If using the MS_EXCHANGE_OAUTH2 authentication type, then NIHMS_MAIL_TENANT_ID, NIHMS_MAIL_CLIENT_ID, and NIHMS_MAIL_CLIENT_SECRET are required as well.

Configuring the Deployment Test Data Service

The Deployment Test Data Service is responsible for cleaning up Submission/Deposit data created by Deployment Tests that run against live PASS environments. To enable the job that executes the Deployment Test Data Service, pass.test.data.job.enabled needs to be set to true. The TEST_DATA* environment variables need to be configured as well.

By default, Submissions created by Deployment Tests that are received by Deposit Services are fully processed; however, the Deposit is not actually sent to the remote repository. This can be changed by setting TEST_DATA_SKIP_DEPOSITS to false, which will then send the Deposit to the remote repository. Additionally, when TEST_DATA_SKIP_DEPOSITS is false, if the remote repository is a DSpace repository, the Deposit Item in DSpace will be deleted by the Deployment Test Data Service.
