Re: [higgins-dev] Questions about RPPS and STS configuration

[David Campos <noymn.the.archangel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to know, and mainly because I can't manage to find it out by myself, which are the advantages about having all Higgins HSS configuration files placed under userhome folder? I can't see why is useful to have it into /home/user instead of having it placed inside /usr/local or /etc/higgins...

As disadvantage I see that those folders could have the read restriction against other users (except superusers) and could have problems with tomcat... What am I missing?

just a quick suggestion: why not have all components use the property org.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf (or some similar prop) for their conf location and have it (the property) default to ~/.higgins ? This seems more consistent to me.

Thanks for your reply Alexander, I was just curious to know why it was placed on $HOME and not on another public folder. Anyway now I know something that I didn't knew: that I can change the default location.

About token lifetime modification through configuration files, is that possible?

Thanks,

   Hello David,

   Some of RPPS components  use configuration files located
    $HOME/.higgins, some other depend on
    -Dorg.eclipse.higgins.sts.conf property.

   if you'd like to put ~.higgins to different location, you may set
   user.home java property like  -Duser.home="/usr/etc/higgins".
