iRODS configuration setup

----------------------------------------------------------------

This script prompts you for key iRODS configuration options.

Default values (if any) are shown in square brackets [ ] at each

prompt.  Press return to use the default, or enter a new value.

After this completes, other configuration options can be selected by

editing the config/config.mk file and running 'make' again.

A prior iRODS configuration file was found.  This script can

prompt you for changes, or use the same configuration again.

You can also change parameters by editing config/irods.config

and restarting this script.

    Use the existing iRODS configuration without changes [yes]? no

For flexibility, iRODS has a lot of configuration options.  Often

the standard settings are sufficient, but if you need more control

enter yes and additional questions will be asked.

    Include additional prompts for advanced settings [no]? 

iRODS configuration

-------------------

iRODS consists of clients (e.g. i-commands) with at least one iRODS

server.  One server must include the iRODS metadata catalog (iCAT).

For the initial installation, you would normally build the server with

the iCAT (an iCAT-Enabled Server, IES), along with the i-commands.

After that, you might want to build another Server to support another

storage resource on another computer (where you are running this now).

You would then build the iRODS server non-ICAT, and configure it with

the IES host name (the servers connect to the IES for ICAT operations).

If you already have iRODS installed (an IES), you may skip building

the iRODS server and iCAT, and just build the command-line tools.

    Build an iRODS server [no]? 

iRODS can make use of the Grid Security Infrastructure (GSI)

authentication system in addition to the iRODS secure

password system (challenge/response, no plain-text).

In most cases, the iRODS password system is sufficient but

if you are using GSI for other applications, you might want

to include GSI in iRODS.  Both the clients and servers need

to be built with GSI and then users can select it by setting

irodsAuthScheme=GSI in their .irodsEnv files (or still use

the iRODS password system if they want).

    Include GSI [yes]? 

The GLOBUS_LOCATION and the 'install type' is needed to find include

and library files.  GLOBUS_LOCATION specifies the directory where

Globus is installed (see Globus documentation).  The 'install type' is

which 'flavor' of installation you want to use.  For this, use the

exact name of one of the subdirectories under GLOBUS_LOCATION/include

or 'none' in certain cases (e.g. the install type is 'globus').

You also need to set up your Globus GSI environment before running

this.

    GLOBUS_LOCATION [/usr/local/globus-c4]? 

Available types appear to be: globus

    GSI Install Type to use (or 'none') [globus]? 

iRODS can make use of the MIT Kerberos authentication

system in addition to the iRODS secure password system.

Both the clients and servers need to be built with Kerberos

and then users can select it by setting

irodsAuthScheme 'KRB' in their .irodsEnv files (or still use

the iRODS password system if they want).

    Include Kerberos [no]? 

NCCS Auditing extensions (SQL based) can be installed if

desired.  See the README.txt file in server/icat/auditExtensions

for more information on this.

    Include the NCCS Auditing extensions [no]?

-----

To use the iRODS command-line tools, update your PATH:

    For csh users:

        set path=(/informatique/biscarat/Formation/iRODS/clients/icommands/bin $path)

    For sh or bash users:

        PATH=/informatique/biscarat/Formation/iRODS/clients/icommands/bin:$PATH

If you wish to set the ports to use, set the environment variable

'svrPortRangeStart' or edit the svrPortRangeStart line in irodsctl.pl.

See the 'Specifying Ports' page on the irods web site for more.

For i-commands-only builds like this, irodssetup does not

attempt to create your ~/.irods/.irodsEnv file, so you need to

create or update it by hand yourself. See the iRODS web site page

on the User Environment.  You may wish to copy .irodsEnv from

another host.
