Hi Allan, Do you still get problems with the reverse proxy without auth? We run biomart 0.7 like this. Here's what we have in biomart-perl/conf/settings.conf;
[httpdSettings] apacheBinary=/usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd serverHost=dev.gramene.org port=8887 # to use proxying set the proxy port below (even if its 80) and set serverHost as your proxy host proxy=80 # if apxs or apxs2 is not in default directory where httpd lives, you may set this param to point to apxs/2 apxs= location=biomart Best, Will On 25 Feb 2010, at 08:47, Allan Kamau wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to restrict access (by username password) to a dataset > accessible via Biomart, is this possible. > > In the past I did put a httpd server with reverse proxy configured to > route calls by url to the correct server port and URL in the internal > network, I would then configure the "Location" directive for this url > string to use basic authentication.
