Re: [Handle-info] How to create a new admin handle without using DBTool
Indeed, we do not currently have ready-to-use non-GUI tools for editing a Handle store directly. There are a couple of possible options:
(1) Edit a handle store using DBTool on your local machine, and then copy the whole handle store to your server.
(2) Use the Java library to write a little non-GUI program to add the necessary admin handle to bootstrap your service.
(3) Use the "server_config" option "anonymous_admin_full_access" = "yes". Then you can start the handle server and administer it without authenticating. Possibly just long enough to create an admin identity, then turn off the anonymous_admin_full_access.
Best,
Robert
