## 2017-10-01

- Peter emailed to point out that many items in the [ILRI archive collection](https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/2703) have multiple handles:

```
http://hdl.handle.net/10568/78495||http://hdl.handle.net/10568/79336
```

- There appears to be a pattern but I'll have to look a bit closer and try to clean them up automatically, either in SQL or in OpenRefine
- Add Katherine Lutz to the groups for content sumission and edit steps of the CGIAR System collections

- Peter Ballantyne said he was having problems logging into CGSpace with "both" of his accounts (CGIAR LDAP and personal, apparently)
- I looked in the logs and saw some LDAP lookup failures due to timeout but also strangely a "no DN found" error:

```
2017-10-01 20:24:57,928 WARN  org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication @ anonymous:session_id=CA0AA5FEAEA8805645489404CDCE9594:ip_addr=41.204.190.40:ldap_attribute_lookup:type=failed_search javax.naming.CommunicationException\colon; svcgroot2.cgiarad.org\colon;3269 [Root exception is java.net.ConnectException\colon; Connection timed out (Connection timed out)]
2017-10-01 20:22:37,982 INFO  org.dspace.authenticate.LDAPAuthentication @ anonymous:session_id=CA0AA5FEAEA8805645489404CDCE9594:ip_addr=41.204.190.40:failed_login:no DN found for user pballantyne
```

- I thought maybe his account had expired (seeing as it's was the first of the month) but he says he was finally able to log in today
- The logs for yesterday show fourteen errors related to LDAP auth failures:

```
$ grep -c "ldap_authentication:type=failed_auth" dspace.log.2017-10-01
14
```

- For what it's worth, there are no errors on any other recent days, so it must have been some network issue on Linode or CGNET's LDAP server
- Linode emailed to say that linode578611 (DSpace Test) needs to migrate to a new host for a security update so I initiated the migration immediately rather than waiting for the scheduled time in two weeks
