In Argo users can set the access rights of a Seed Object to Stanford Only, which ideally should make the website URL only available to people who are on campus, or logged into the VPN.
pywb's Access Controls should allow the ACLJ file to limit access based on the presence of a
X-Pywb-ACL-User
HTTP header. For example if this header was set toStanford
then an ACLJ rule could be written to indicate that a given URL should only be available to theStanford
user.It seems like this header could be conditionally set in the Apache configuration based on another HTTP header that is sent upstream by Stanford's Single Sign On Proxy? For example what does Stacks do to control this type of access? We need to do some analysis to see if this is possible. If it is possible then we need to also modify the daemon created as part of #10 to modify the ACLJ for Stanford Only rights changes as well.
