internal/external web service settings

[LaszloSebo]

Hi there,

Internally, we don’t have any authentication for the web service when using the rest api. We are thinking about allowing artists to monitor their jobs via the phone apps though, for which we would like to set up some level of security, passwords etc.

Is it possible to have a webservice that is running purely for internal rest api functions, and another one that has security turned on and is for external access?

cheers

Hey Laszlo,

This isn’t possible at the moment, since all web service instances pull from the global Repository Settings.

What you could do though is set up a proxy server that is public-facing and have it act as the middleman between the mobile apps and the actual web service application:

Thanks Ryan, we will give that a try!
