NCBI submission credentials #26

Closed martinjoconnor closed 6 years ago

martinjoconnor commented 6 years ago

Need to validate with a real submission but it appears that we do not need to supply NCBI credentials on submission to SRA/BioSample/BioProject.

The credentials model NCBI adopts is that the user-supplied email is used to contact the submitter after a successful submission. For failed submissions CEDAR is responsible for informing the user. Our current approach of monitoring the submission FTP site and reading the generated report files already fulfills that goal. (FYI, NCBI refers to this process as ‘brokered submission’, with CEDAR being the broker.) After a successfully submission, CEDAR is effectively out of the loop. The email sent by NCBI to the user invites them to go the the NCBI web site where that can create an account and monitor all submissions they have made.

Same credentials as test server. That is, user name of CEDAR and appriate password.
