I was trying a simple create EHR --> delete EHR workflow for testing purposes, using all default configuration in a fresh EHRBase 2.0 installation using the orders in the installation tutorial (so no security).
I created an EHR with the following code based on the client example and then I tried to delete it with the admin API

![imagen|534x183](upload://mUKcDVPEy1cQ8uSDlf2N0UFkHv7.jpeg)

However, the server returns a 404 for the delete operation

The EHR exists (I can access it with *https://localhost:8080/ehrbase/rest/openehr/v1/ehr/fd4ba265-1a6e-43e3-a8d2-c02de1854785*) 
The delete code is creating the uri *http://localhost:8080/ehrbase/rest/admin/ehr/fd4ba265-1a6e-43e3-a8d2-c02de1854785* which also gives me 404 even executing it directly over REST

Also tried with setModifiable as true just in case, same result

Am I missing anything?

@yampeku these admin endpoints are de-activated by default in the application.yml (https://github.com/ehrbase/ehrbase/blob/develop/configuration/src/main/resources/application.yml):

So it should work after making this adjustment

Oh, I completely misunderstood the "(de)activate" part of the documentation

Thanks!

Is it possible to activate admin mode with a parameter when loading the docker image? Does admin mode have a prerequisite of having some kind of security other than "None"?

You can overwrite the variables like the following:

```
docker run --network ehrbase-net --name ehrbase -e DB_URL=jdbc:postgresql://ehrbase-postgres:5432/ehrbase -e DB_USER=ehrbase_restricted -e DB_PASS=ehrbase_restricted -e DB_USER_ADMIN=ehrbase -e DB_PASS_ADMIN=ehrbase -e SERVER_NODENAME=local.ehrbase.org -e ADMINAPI_ACTIVE=true -e SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=local -d -p 8080:8080 ehrbase/ehrbase
```

In this case, use the "ehrbase" password with basic auth.
