<li>I pointed him to our Tomcat server.xml configuration, saying that we purposefully isolated the Tomcat connection pools between the API and XMLUI for this purpose&hellip;</li>

<li>Fix an issue in the Ansible infrastructure playbooks for the DSpace role
<ul>
<li>It was causing the template module to fail when setting up the npm environment</li>
<li>We needed to install <code>acl</code> so that Ansible can use <code>setfacl</code> on the target file before becoming an unprivileged user</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I saw a strange message in the Tomcat 7 journal on DSpace Test (linode26):</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">Jun 30 16:00:09 linode26 tomcat7[30294]: WARNING: Creation of SecureRandom instance for session ID generation using [SHA1PRNG] took [111,733] milliseconds.
</code></pre><ul>
<li>What&rsquo;s even crazier is that it is twice that on CGSpace (linode18)!</li>
<li>Apparently OpenJDK defaults to using <code>/dev/random</code> (see <code>/etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security</code>):</li>
</ul>
<pre><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom
</code></pre><ul>
<li><code>/dev/random</code> blocks and can take a long time to get entropy, and urandom on modern Linux is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator
<ul>
<li>Now Tomcat starts much faster and no warning is printed so I&rsquo;m going to add this to our Ansible infrastructure playbooks</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Interesting resource about the lore behind the <code>/dev/./urandom</code> workaround that is posted all over the Internet, apparently due to a bug in early JVMs: <a href="https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6202721">https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6202721</a></li>
<li>I&rsquo;m experimenting with using PgBouncer for pooling instead of Tomcat&rsquo;s JDBC</li>
