### Optional Requirements
If you want to support languages other than English download and enable [String Translation](https://drupal.org/project/i18n), and follow our [guide](https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/wiki/Multilingual-Support) for setting up additional languges.

## Installation
Before installing Islandora the XACML policies located [here](https://github.com/Islandora/islandora-xacml-policies) should be copied into the Fedora global XACML policies folder. This will allow "authenticated users" in Drupal to access Fedora API-M functions. It is to be noted that the `permit-upload-to-anonymous-user.xml` and `permit-apim-to-anonymous-user.xml` files do not need to be present unless requirements for anonymous ingesting are present.
This is one Drupal module in a suite of modules (and stack of related software) which are required for Islandora to function correctly. For full installation instructions please see the [documentation in the DuraSpace Wiki](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA/Islandora).
You will also have to remove some default policies if you want full functionality as well.
### Global Fedora XACML policies
Before installing Islandora, the XACML policies located [here](https://github.com/Islandora/islandora-xacml-policies) should be copied into the Fedora global XACML policies folder. This will allow "authenticated users" in Drupal to access Fedora API-M functions (create, edit, and delete objects in Fedora).
Remove `deny-purge-datastream-if-active-or-inactive.xml` to allow for purging of datastream versions.
Notes:
* Delete the `permit-upload-to-anonymous-user.xml` and `permit-apim-to-anonymous-user.xml` policies unless you want to allow anonymous (unauthenticated) users to create Islandora objects (not recommended).
* Delete the `deny-purge-datastream-if-active-or-inactive.xml` to allow users to purge (permanently remove) datastream versions.
More detailed information can be found in the 'Set XACML Policies' in the [Installing Fedora](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/ISLANDORA/milestone+1+-+Installing+Fedora) chapter of the documentation.
### Protecting the 'anonymous' username
The `islandora_drupal_filter` passes the username of 'anonymous' through to Fedora for unauthenticated Drupal Users. A user with the name of 'anonymous' may have XACML policies applied to them that are meant to be applied to Drupal users that are not logged in or vice-versa. This is a potential security issue that can be plugged by creating a user named 'anonymous' and restricting access to the account. If this is done after installing Islandora, Drupal's cron can be run to remove expired authentication tokens.
## Configuration
The `islandora_drupal_filter` passes the username of 'anonymous' through to Fedora for unauthenticated Drupal Users. A user with the name of 'anonymous' may have XACML policies applied to them that are meant to be applied to Drupal users that are not logged in or vice-versa. This is a potential security issue that can be plugged by creating a user named 'anonymous' and restricting access to the account.
Configuration that applies to all solution packs, including the location of the Fedora Repository, the namespaces accessible by this instance of Islandora, and whether to generate derivatives on ingest, are available at `admin/islandora/configure`.
Drupal's cron can be run to remove expired authentication tokens.
### Breadcrumb Generation
**Breadcrumb Generation** on the configuration page, allows you to choose the default breadcrumb generation
or a custom method (if implemented).
Whether Drupal breadcrumbs (showing an object's parent hierarchy) should be displayed, and how they are generated, can be set on the configuration page. Other modules (such as [Islandora Solr](https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_solr_search)) may provide alternatives that perform better at large scales than the built-in Resource Index query.
### Inactive and Deleted Objects
By default, objects with the [Fedora state](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FEDORA38/Fedora+Digital+Object+Model) of "Inactive" or "Deleted" are accessible to all users with the Drupal permission "View repository objects". It is possible to use a separate permission to control access to these non-"Active" objects, but this permission must first be enabled at `admin/islandora/configure`, then the permssion can be granted to desired roles at `admin/people/permissions`.
Hooks provided by Islandora are documented in `islandora.api.php`. A [detailed tutorial](https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/wiki/Multi-paged-Ingest-Forms) on extending the multi-page ingest forms is available on the Github (developers') Wiki.
