Re: [Handle-info] How to create a new admin handle without using DBTool

Thank you for your patience.

I have try the hdl-genericbatch as "4.1 Create Handle Batch Format". I write the simple batch file "create.txt" （20.500.11886 is my prefix).

CREATE 20.500.11886/hdl2

3 URL 86400 1110 UTF8 http://www.handle.net

Then I use the hdl-genericbatch command:

./bin/hdl-genericbatch ./create.txt -verbose

But , I see the command still search the other authenticated handle servers, not my local handle server.

The console output as following:

Batch(batchfile/create2.txt) process started ...

Batch process prints log on stdout ...

It still fail in the end . I'm confused that the hdl-genericbatch command do not specify the serverdir, how the command know "anonymous_admin_full_access" = "yes". ？ Is there anything missing， or the command or create.txt has some error ?

thx alot again.

Ah. I suspect the browser admin tool (https://.../admin/) doesn't admit the possibility of an unauthenticated admin request.

I believe the hdl-genericbatch client tool does. See Chapter 4 of the Handle Technical Manual. Just send a CREATE block without any AUTHENTICATE block.

As your advice， I use the options(3) use the "server_config" option "anonymous_admin_full_access" = "yes".

I have add this options to config.dct and restart handle server. However , when I use the https://myhandle.server.ip:8000/admin/ , it still says "User is not authenticated" when i create Handle or doing some other operates , what i should I do ?

I need more help, thanks alot ,
