Hello,

I am trying to password protect my TAP service and have been following the instructions here: http://docs.g-vo.org/DaCHS/howDoI.html#protect-my-tap-service-against-usage.

An issue that I am having is that once I create my local copy of the userconfig.rd (following instructions here: http://docs.g-vo.org/DaCHS/tutorial.html#the-userconfig-rdI), I cannot find a service element with <STREAM id=?tapdescription?>. Instead, I have a <NXSTREAM id=?tapdescription?>. Then, when I add the line <limitTo>tapusers</limitTo> and run ?dachs serve exp //tap?, I get the following error message:

*** Error: expireRDs needs [web]adminpasswd config item.

Does anybody know how I go about fixing this issue?

Cheers,
Austin

Oh, sorry.  That's a documentation bug, and the NXSTREAM is what I
meant.  I'll fix the doc; thanks for the report.

In case anyone is wondering: STREAMs expand macros while they are
being replayed, NXSTREAM-s don't and it's the latter you want in this
particular case because only then will macros within tapdescription
be expanded be expanded when it's reasonable.  But that's tangential
here.

You can just as well restart the server and be done with it.

*If* you set the admin password
<https://docs.g-vo.org/DaCHS/tutorial.html#the-admin-password>, you
can save on these restarts.  The howdoI item should admittedly make
it clearer that the expire part is optional as long as you don't mind
restarting the server.

Thanks,
