ATLAS installation instructions / Adding Tomcat authentication

Developers
#1

Hajar Homayouni, a Masters student in Computer Science at Colorado State University, implemented ATLAS on a Google Computer Engine (VM in GoogleSpeak) using Ubuntu and PostgreSQL. In addition, Hajar implemented user authentication using the underlying Tomcat authentication capabilities.

Attached here for your enjoyment is a write up of the steps she took to accomplish both tasks. Hopefully some or all of this information will help you spin up ATLAS or implement Tomcat authentication more quickly. Hajar can be reached at homayouni.hajar@gmail.com. Don’t write me – I’m only useful for finding really smart people who can do wonderful things that I never could do.

Thank you @mgkahn and @hajarhomayouni for this documentation! I’m sure it will be useful to many in the community.

On a related note to the Tomcat authentication, at Georgia Tech we need to put together user level authentication that allows / blocks access to specific data sources in OHDSI. Does anyone else have this need or has already done it?

Thanks for the documentation!

I’m trying to find an appropriate place for the PDF on the Wiki. However, there is no ATLAS section! There is a WebAPI installation guide, but it is in the WebAPI repo Wiki.

@Chris_Knoll, @Frank: Any suggestions where to put this document? Maybe it is time to ‘retire’ the Wiki pages on CIRCE and HERMES and add an ATLAS section instead?
