Hi Michael,

well, you have two options:

a) without stopping Marmotta, just execute the following command from the same machine where it's running:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '["false"]'
http://localhost:8080/marmotta/config/data/security.enabled

b) with Marmotta stopped, just add (or edit) the system-config.properties file in the $MAMOTTA_HOME to have one line with:

security.enabled = false

Both are pretty straightforward.... what's the deal?

Thx for confirmation (indeed issue for both simple and standard...).

Please advice simplest way to work around when having local access...

(I did not find the setting in the properties files for disabling the security)

Thx Michel

Hi Michael,

We have two installations, one on windows and one on linux/Ubuntu.

We have same issue on both:

When we set the security to standard (via console/prfiles etc.) we cannot login 
with admin/pass123.

(we thought that admin would be aut. part of manager role..)

How should we do this  (to be able to remotely upload data)

(ie do we need to set manager password somewhere and use THAT? With
admin user?)

We definitely have an issue with the login mechanism, see MARMOTTA-534 for 
further details, and has nothing to do with the platform where it is installed. 
Please, provide details to the issue and then we can try to address it.

In the meantime, for temporally bypassing the issue, if your instance is 
running on a protected environment (i.e., a machine running behind a firewall 
in your intranet) you can disable security by executing the following request 
from the same machine where Marmotta is running:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '["false"]'
http://localhost:8080/marmotta/config/data/security.enabled

You are able to do that because Marmotta comes with the simple profile enabled 
by default, which allows read access from everywhere and write access only from 
localhost or other local interfaces. You can find some documentation about the 
Security Profiles at:
http://marmotta.apache.org/platform/security-module.html

Please, take into account that having security disabled allows everybody to 
perform write requests (POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH) without authentication. You can 
keep this configuration if it easier for you.
But I have to insist this setup is _not_ recommended for instances with open 
access.

In practice you should always keep security enabled, switching to the 
'standard' security profile for every installation that requires external 
access beyond a local demo. But I guess the authentication issue would remain, 
even with that profile enabled. Therefore, if your installation fits with the 
restrictions described above, you can have whatever profile while you keep 
security disabled. Otherwise we have to take a closer look to the issue and 
related problems reported to MARMOTTA-534.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
