IPT Mode
Select the mode you would like to run the IPT in. The IPT mode decides whether or not the hosted resources will be indexed for public search access by GBIF. GBIF recommends IPT administrators try Test mode first in order to understand the registration process, and then reinstall in Production mode for formal data publishing.
Warning
: for a given installation, this selection is final and cannot be changed later on. To switch from test to production mode or vice versa, you will have to reinstall your IPT and repeat any configurations you made.
Test
mode is for evaluating the IPT or running it in a training scenario. Resources registered with GBIF will go into a test registry and will never be indexed. All DOIs minted for resources in test mode should use a test prefix (e.g. 10.5072 for DataCite), meaning they are temporary.
Production
mode is for publishing resources formally. Resources registered with GBIF go into the GBIF Registry and will be indexed. DOIs minted for resources cannot be deleted, and require resources to remain publicly accessible.

Base URL
Base URL for this IPT
The URL that points to the root of your IPT installation. If you want to register resources you must have a publicly accessible address. For example, http://tools.gbif.org/ipt.
Proxy URL
If your server is routed through a proxy server, please enter the host address and port number as one string (e.g., http://proxy.gbif.org:8080).
