NCSS Wiki

The TMTS Web systems for the NCSS use two forms of access control. The first is the login and password configured in Tomcat. This is in tomcat-users.xml in the following directories:

• rodgers.geo.berkeley.edu (Red Hat 7): /home/tomcat/conf/
• ucbpp.geo.berkeley.edu (Red Hat 6): /usr/local/tomcat/conf/

The tomcat-users.xml file rarely needs to be changed.

The second form of access control is the /home/ncss/run/tmts/conf/Auth.users file. This file lists specific users with a TMTS password of “none”.

To add a new user to TMTS Web system:

• On both rodgers and ucbpp, edit /home/ncss/run/tmts/conf/Auth.users to add the new user name followed by “=none”.
• Restart Tomcat. This requires root permission.
  • rodgers:

  systemctl restart tomcat

• ucbpp:

  /etc/init.d/tomcat/stop
  /etc/init.d/tomcat/start

• Consider adding the user to the credit_alias table. This maps the user's tmts name to their real name. Ask the user if this is what they want. Here's sample SQL, to be used on dcucb:

INSERT INTO credit_alias VALUES ('login', 'Full Name');
commit;

• If you added an entry to the credit_alias table, pass this update to the other databases. On ucbpp:

cd /home/ncss/DBmaint/bin/
./Update_Group.csh credit

That's it!
