[Handle-info] Attempting to setup a Local server

[Elliot Metsger <emetsger@jhu.edu>]

Hi Everyone,

I looked in the archives but they were pretty lean so here's my question.

I'm using Sun Java 1.4.2 on Linux Handle 6.2, and I'm trying to get my 
Handle Server running locally without contacting the Local Registry.

Here's what I did:
1. Went through the Simple Setup.

Performed the required client side steps
2. Copied siteinfo.bin to ~/.handle/resolver_site
3. Created ~/.handle/local_nas with a single entry in it: "0.NA/1234"

The client side setup seems to work.  Based on the output from the 
Handle Tool it seems that all messages are being sent to my local handle 
server.

Performed the required servers side steps
4. Modified the config.dct file (question: do these parameters sit 
inside the server_config = { ... } block, or do they sit by themselves 
in the main body of the config file?  I've tried both.)

5. Fired up DB Tool and added the Naming Authority "0.NA/1234"

6. Used DB Tool to add the Handle "1234/ADMIN", with a data of "admin". 
 Relative TTL of 86400 and (well, this is odd to me) a timestamp of 
Monday Jan 05 07:15:57 EST 1970.  Checked permissions are AR, PR, and 
AW.  PW is unchecked.  The Refs box is empty.
   Here are all the parameters -
   + index=300
   + type=HS_ADMIN
   + rwr-
   + "admin"

I can sucessfully list the naming authority and the 1234/ADMIN handle 
using DB Tool.

7. Edited config.dct and replaced each occurance of "0.NA/ADMIN" with 
"0.NA/1234/ADMIN".


I can start the handle server.  Then I start the Handle Admin Tool.

I can click on the Handle Tool "Setup" button, then select 
"Authentication".  I Authenticate using a secret key ("admin") with an 
ID handle of "1234/ADMIN", and an ID Index of 300.  After 
authenticating, I see "HS_SECKEY 1234/ADMIN:300" displayed at the bottom 
of the Handle Tool.

So far so good.  I can tell that the Handle authentication request was 
sent to my local server:
sending HDL-TCP request (version=2.1; oc=201; rc=0; snId=0 crt caCrt 
noAuth 1234/ADMIN) to 128.220.8.104:2641
    received HDL-TCP response: version=2.1; oc=201; rc=1; snId=0 crt 
caCrt noAuth

So I try adding a handle by clicking on the "Create Handle" button in 
the Handle Admin Tool.  I attempt to create the following handle:
Handle: 1234/testfoo
Handle Data View:
index=100 type=HS_ADMIN Admin ID Handle: 1234/ADMIN Admin ID Index: 300
index=1 type=URL

When I try to create it I receive the error:
Response: Handle Creation Failed Error(400): INVALID ADMIN

Handle Tool Output is:
sending HDL-TCP request (version=2.1; oc=100; rc=0; snId=0 caCrt noAuth 
adm 1234/testfoo) to 128.220.8.104:2641
    received HDL-TCP response: version=2.1; oc=100; rc=402; snId=3 
caCrt noAuth
  sending HDL-TCP request (version=2.1; oc=200; rc=0; snId=3 caCrt 
noAuth / HS_SECKEY 300:1234/ADMIN) to 128.220.8.104:2641
    received HDL-TCP response: Error(400): INVALID ADMIN

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for advice!

Elliot
