ODS Addressbook WebID? Protocol Sharing to Public

  1. Configure Virtuoso+ODS instance as an X.509 Certificate Authority and HTTPS listener
  2. Generate a Personal HTTP based Identifier for fictitious Person Entity: John and then bind his personal Identifier to an X.509 Certificate (thereby giving him a WebID?)
  3. Log into ODS-Addressbook as user "Demo" (a Person Entity)
  4. Share an ODS-Addressbook contact to Public.
  5. As user that has a valid WebID? Protocol certificate: John, attempt to view the resource shared by Person Entity "Demo" by doing the following:
    • Refresh browser
    • Access the url: 

      https://host:ssl-port/dataspace/username/addressbook/user-addressbook-instance-name/contact-id

    • For this example: 

      https://ods-qa.openlinksw.com/dataspace/demo/addressbook/Demo%20User%27s%20AddressBook/1003

    • When prompted by browser, select John's Certificate



    • After successful authentication, you will be able to view (or edit) the shared contact:
