103 | | === rview (deprecated) === |
104 | | rview is a deprecated desktop visualization client of rasdaman. It is deprecated as it uses an insecure, soon-to-be-replaced client/server protocol based on RPCs. For building clients use [http://rasdaman.org/wiki/Clients one of the Web client or the raswct library] instead. |
105 | | |
106 | | Caveat: This client is fixed to RPC as client/server protocol, hence (i) rpcbind/portmapper must be installed and running and (ii) at least one rasdaman server process using RPC must be up and running; see the rasdaman Installation Guide for details on this. |
107 | | |
108 | | Background: rview is deprecated and unmaintained. Reason is that the wxWindows library has changed so substantially that, despite severe ettempts, it was not possible to adapt the rview code; therefore, only the old binary remains available. In fact, there are strong reasons not to use rview: As highlighted, RPC is '''highly insecure''' and not recommended. Further, RPC communication is deprecated and will soon be replaced (together with HTTP and RNP) by rasnet. |
109 | | |
110 | | If you have read the above and still wish to use rview, proceed as follows: start the rpcbind service has to be started in insecure mode (or rasdaman has to be started as root, which is strongly discouraged as well) in order for rview to be able to connect to rasdaman. |
111 | | |
112 | | To start rpcbind in insecure mode, edit /etc/init.d/rpcbind (more recently: /etc/init/portmap.conf) and add '-i' to the OPTIONS variable. Start rpcbind. Restart rasdaman. Open rview with |
