Usage of `get_grid_configuration` and `set_grid_configuration` not clear

[mstfdkmn]

We would like to test 4.3.1. And for this, we have a test environment running irods 4.3.1, iCommands 4.3.1(main) on almalinux8.

I wanted to test sub-commands/features done through the commits available for irods/irods#7274. Also I am seeing some documents https://docs.irods.org/4.3.1/system_overview/configuration/#configuring-authentication-in-r_grid_configuration and here https://github.com/irods/irods_client_icommands/blob/main/src/iadmin.cpp#L2672-L2692. However, I dont see how to use these subcommands in iadmin -h, they seem not exist.

But if I run these sub commands, I am getting:

[irods@dev-u0137480 irods]$ iadmin get_grid_configuration authentication password_max_time
Failed to get grid configuration for namespace [authentication] and option [password_max_time] [ec=-808000]

Also R_GRID_CONFIGURATION table (alanking/irods_docs@21fbfd0#diff-36178197e1823e07e5432ebea993d7e94af368f2b7160359ee4c61b3f8cddcc0R890) doesnt have more than:

MySQL [irods]> select * from R_GRID_CONFIGURATION;
+--------------+----------------+---------------------------------------+
| namespace    | option_name    | option_value                          |

This repo doesnt have 4.3.1 release for iCommands yet. Am I missing something?

We missed adding these subcommands to the list shown by iadmin -h. You can view the help text the subcommands by typing iadmin h get_grid_configuration or iadmin h set_grid_configuration.

We have an issue here regarding the missing subcommands in the help output: irods/irods#7503 Sorry about that...

As for the errors you're seeing, the columns in R_GRID_CONFIGURATION are not added until you upgrade the server to 4.3.1 (or is freshly installed as 4.3.1) and furthermore will not have any effect until and unless the server is version 4.3.1. Are you saying that the columns were not added to R_GRID_CONFIGURATION even though you are running 4.3.1?

Thanks Alan.

Yes, actually we are running a build from the last week (but when we compared commits we didn't see any change). I guess then better to run the official release for server?

Also shouldn't we expect to see the 4.3.1 release in this repo? https://github.com/irods/irods_client_icommands/releases

It would certainly be better to test against the official release, yes.

I'm still surprised that the columns were not added, though. This should have been done as part of the database scheme number changing. Is it possible that this server was itself upgraded from an earlier build such that the database scheme number didn't change?

Oh, and I defer to @trel regarding releases on GitHub. :)

[mstfdkmn]

Closing this because the error/table is due to a missing internal need.

I forgot to click the 'turn tag into a release' button on GitHub. iCommands now have a 4.3.1 release. Thanks!
