Hi everyone, I'm very happy to say I managed to get multi-user Autopsy running on Linux (all of it). In particular, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with these components: - postgresql 10 as shipped with the distro. - activemq 5.15 as shipped with the distro. - solr-4.10.3 (not the bitnami stack, just the regular download from Apache website). I do know the doc suggests running the multi-user services in 1-2 separate machines, however I'm using a fairly powerful system (140 GB RAM and a bunch of Xeon processors) and everything is running in the same host right now - including the Autopsy program itself. Thing is, I have a number of users on that server and I would like each of those accounts to run Autopsy in this same host (each sending their X windows to the corresponding windows server in their local machine). I have observed that the file structure created in the storage is like: (autopsy base dir) / (case name) / (host name) / .... And I am concerned this may cause issues when several connections to the same case are open from the same host. Wouldn't it make sense to use "user name + host name" instead of just host name? That would be: (autopsy base dir) / (case name) / (user name) @ (host name) / .... If anyone has valuable input, I will appreciate it. Otherwise, I may open an issue about this in github. Thanks for your time, Pope |
