Facet Restrictions
We’ve added a new option in the LUNA Administrator to turn off facets in a Credential, hiding entry points in the LUNA Viewer to the Browse by Category pages, Browse by Title pages and Facet Browsing (Who, What, When, Where) in an effort to stop aggressive crawlers making LUNA useless for clients and causing downtime. The feature works with the Anonymous credential to hide facets that are part of public collections, with the option to allow facets to remain visible to users accessing LUNA on campus. It will not affect users with an account.
reCAPTCHA Implementation
We have also implemented a reCAPTCHA option, as an alternative to Facet Restrictions, to verify a user is not a robot when accessing the 4W Facets and the Browse by Category page. ReCAPTCHA is session based and will only display once during a user's session without the need for user interaction. This challenge free method is recommended if you have public collections and want to keep the Who, What, Where, When facets visible in the LUNA Viewer. Enabling reCAPTCHA will override facet restrictions. Read how to implement reCAPTCHA for LUNA.
For non-hosted clients, the reCAPTCHA option may incur costs.
