[sagreenstone] Administration Page

[Amos Kujenga]

Hi Howard,

Good to hear from you yet again, man!

The Maintenance & Administration facility is disabled by default in
version 2.81 (whereas it was enabled by default previously). You can
change this setting (see below) by editing the \etc\main.cfg file.
After enabling, you'll need to restart the Greenstone server for
changes to be effected if you're running the local library version.

************************************
# Set status to "enabled" if you want the Maintenance and
# Administration facility to be available.
status  enabled
************************************

As for your second concern, I tend to agree with you that the
authentication should come before the Admin page is displayed.
However, I doubt that it is currently possible to have this without
changing the source code. Maybe we should suggest it for future
releases!

All the best.

Regards
