GBDS API

Configuration File

The GBDS API configuration parameters are defined in a configuration file containing all parameters and their respective values. Omitted parameters assume their default value. This section describes the properties of the configuration file.

File Location

The configuration file is located at: /etc/griaule/conf/gbsapi/gbdsapi.properties.

File Properties

The configuration file must follow some requirements so that it can be correctly interpreted by GBDS. These requirements are:

The file name and its location must be exactly the same as described in the section File Location
There must be only one configuration parameter per line.
Each configuration parameter must have the form {parameter}={value}, without line breaks;
Each value must be separated by a comma when assigned to the same parameter.

Configuration Parameters

This section describes each of the GBDS API configuration parameters that may be listed in the configuration file and how they affect system operation.

Template Serializer Configuration

This section describes the configuration parameters related to the template serializer. These configuration parameters are designed to allow the use of the GBDS Batch Extractor.

{% hint style="info" %} See the manual of GBDS Batch Extractor for additional information about its use. {% endhint %}

Whenever GBDS performs a cold boot, it will attempt to recover templates from a default column family. If the template does not exist in that column, GBDS will attempt to recover it from the fallback column family.

The serializer configuration parameters are:

Default Column Family

These parameters are divided by biometric modalities. Templates in this column family are not encoded and the format used is byteArray.

gbds.hbase.templates.fingerprint.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.palmprint.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.face.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.iris.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.newborn-palmprint.cf.name

The default value for these parameters is tpt.

Fallback Column Family

These parameters refer to the column families previously used to store biometric templates. They are separated by biometric modality.

gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.fingerprint.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.palmprint.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.face.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.iris.cf.name
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.newborn-palmprint.cf.name

The default values represent the column families used before the change of these parameters, and are, respectively: fingerprints, palmprints, faces, and iris.

Fallback encoding in base64

The fallback column family supports encoding. The following parameters define whether the column family is base64 encoded. base64:

gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.fingerprint.cf.is-base64-encoded
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.palmprint.cf.is-base64-encoded
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.face.cf.is-base64-encoded
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.iris.cf.is-base64-encoded
gbds.hbase.templates.fallback.newborn-palmprint.cf.is-base64-encoded

The default value for these parameters is true.

Email Notification Settings

gbds.transparency.search.identify.send-email.enabled

This parameter enables the email notification service. When true, every face identification search will send an email with the requested image to specified users or groups.

Default Value:

false

Possible Values:

true
false

gbds.transparency.email-notifier.log-level

This parameter defines the log level of the email notification service.

Default Value:

INFO

Possible Values:

INFO
TIME
NONE
DEBUG.

gbds.transparency.email-notifier.timeout

This parameter defines the timeout in seconds of the email notification service.

Default Value:

60

gbds.transparency.email-notifier.url

This parameter defines the URL of the email notification service.

gbds.transparency.search.identify.request.notify.enabled

This parameter allows the email notification service to send the notification for face identification search requests.

Default Value:

false

gbds.transparency.search.identify.result.actions.enabled

This parameter allows the email notification service to process the action defined for a person via the transparency tables when the person appears in the search results.

Default Value:

false

gbds.transparency.search.identify.result.notify.enabled

This parameter allows the email notification service to send messages when search results match persons of interest.

Default Value:

false
