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

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...
just guessing (I'm not a higgins dev), but the system property user.home will make sense on non-unix systems, too.

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".
