6.1.1. Accessing the Web User Interface

If you are already connected to the Web user interface (UI) of another component of the LOCKSS System, click Config Service in the top-left menu.

Alternatively, if your primary hostname is <HOST>, you can use your browser to connect to the LOCKSS Configuration Service Web user interface (UI) at http://<HOST>:24621.

Enter your Web UI username and password to login if prompted.

6.1.2. Adding Archival Units

To add AUs to the system for preservation:

  1. In the top-right menu, click Journal Configuration.

  2. In the center menu, click Add AUs.

  3. Select one or more collections of AUs by selecting the checkbox next to the appropriate collection.

  4. Click the Select AUs button. It may take a bit of time (60+ seconds) for the next screen to appear, while the list of AUs is built.

  5. Select one or more AUs from the AU list. You may click Select All if you would like to select all AUs. If you choose to use select all AUs, please note that the next step may take some time to load.

  6. Click the Add Selected AUs button. The time it takes for the page to refresh depends on the number of AUs added. Give the LOCKSS system some time to load the AUs and reload the page before moving on.

  7. A screen will show a list of added AUs. Crawling of these new AUs will start automatically -- no further action is necessary unless prompted by a footnote next to an AU's name.

6.1.3. Configuring a Crawl Proxy

If Web crawls must be routed through a Web proxy:

  1. In the top-right menu, click Content Access Options.

  2. In the center menu, click Proxy Client Options.

  3. Select the Proxy crawls checkbox.

  4. Enter the hostname and port of the Web proxy in the HTTP Proxy host and Port text areas, respectively.
