Configure Security in PHP Proxy
Included in the code distribution is index.php which can act as a simply proxy for use in a PHP-enabled Apache web server. This proxy file requires PHP to be compiled with XML support (default setting in most Linux distributions). Within the PHP file are 2 arrays that are used to restrict all requests from connected web clients to only the IP addresses that the cells are located at.
Array | Description |
---|---|
$WHITELIST | List of acceptable URL prefixes. |
$BLACKLIST | List of*invalid* URL prefixes. |
Examples:
index.php
$WHITELIST = array( "http://", "http://127.0.0.1:9090/axis2/rest/", "http://localhost:9090/axis2/rest/", "http://127.0.0.1:7070/i2b2/rest/", "http://localhost:7070/i2b2/rest/", "http://services.i2b2.org", "https://services.i2b2.org" ); $BLACKLIST = array( "http://127.0.0.1:9090/test", "http://localhost:9090/test", "http://127.0.0.1:7070/test", "http://localhost:7070/test" );
Steps to update the index.php file
WARNING
Make sure you are editing the files in your web server directory and not the ones that reside in YOUR_I2B2_WC_DIR.
1. Go to the web client folder in your web server directory.
Linux Example: /var/www/html
Windows Example: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
2. Open the index.php file to edit the existing arrays with information that is relevant to your security policies .
3. Save the changes and close the file.
