Requirements

The ORCID feature in DSpace needs to consult an external database when doing identity lookups.

Therefore you MUST ensure that your repository server has unrestricted access via ports 80 and 443 to the following web sites:

1. http://pub.orcid.org
2. https://api.orcid.org

Step 1 - Enable the ORCID authority control plugin

Edit the following file:

nano $HOME/source/dspace/config/dspace.cfg

Search for ORCID authority control and remove comments to enable.

See example below.

plugin.named.org.dspace.content.authority.ChoiceAuthority = \
    org.dspace.content.authority.SolrAuthority = SolrAuthorAuthority

Step 2 - Configure the plugin

Search for ORCID based authority control and uncomment the hashes.

See example below.

solr.authority.server=${solr.server}/authority
choices.plugin.dc.contributor.author = SolrAuthorAuthority
choices.presentation.dc.contributor.author = authorLookup
authority.controlled.dc.contributor.author = true
authority.author.indexer.field.1=dc.contributor.author

Step 3 - Enable the authority event listener

Search for the following and ensure the "default" listener includes "authority".

event.dispatcher.default.consumers = authority, versioning, discovery, eperson, harvester

Step 4 - Rebuild DSpace

Click here to rebuild DSpace.

Step 5 - Import existing authorities

After the rebuild, populate the authority index by running the following script:

$HOME/bin/dspace index-authority
