How to restrict access to an HTTP URL exposed through HTTP Provider service

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have exposed a file system folder on the Java AS machine to be accessible via http requests using the HTTP Provider service, like this: http://server:50000/my_files/.

It is working OK but the problem is that anyone who hits a certain file in this URL can see it, I would like to restrict it to only accept http requests that are coming from the portal URL. In my portal I can than control which link to expose to the users and which link not.

Any idea if and how that can be done?

Hi Roy,

You can restrict users by providing appropriate Roles in the the UME.

Check this page:

Hi Siddhesh,

This would have been true if the content was in the portal.

Like I said, this is an external URL which is sitting on the server exposed through HTTP provider. I am looking for a solution which is the proxy area to monitor which URL requested this extenal URL and to set it like this that only portal requests to this URL are allowed.
