[EP-tech] login-only repository on Debian10

[drn at ecs.soton.ac.uk (David R Newman)]

Hi Thomas,

Sorry about the lack of replacing http... as you will tell from the 
email it was rather late last night by the time I managed to get at list 
one further level down into you issue.? If you have written a local 
login plugin, it would be useful to be able to see this.? As this is 
likely to be where the issue manifests itself, as it is fundamentally 
different from a standard EPrints repository and even a standard 
dark/login-only repository.

Sorry, if I have not picked up all the information you have provided 
along the way.? This has been a rather protracted conversation and as my 
day job is working on dozens of different EPrints repositories it is 
difficult to remember exactly what has and has not been said for your 
particular case.? The URL mangling also makes it difficult to read back 
through the email change to get back up to speed.

This is clearly a complex issue and not having direct access makes it 
slow to progress things.? Asking you questions inevitably leads to 
further questions rather than any useful answers on my part.

Regards

Davdi Newman
