Step 1. Configure Security

Step 1. Configure Security

The security to run Data Discovery searches is enforced based on the machine that calls the API. The authentication is not based on users.
In the
conf.properties
file, specify the machines that have access to call the API. By default, no machines have access.
  1. Access
    conf.properties
    from the Web container folder of the Data Archive installation.
  2. Configure the
    validHosts
    property.
    Enter the IP address or the host name of the machines that can access the API from the external application. Use a comma to separate multiple values.
    The following text is an example of the property:
    validHosts=host1, 10.11.22.33, hyw172967.abc.com, dev.*
  3. Remove the comment tag before and after the
    informia.appViewGetAllowed
    property in
    conf.properties
    to access the Data Discovery portal application view from an external application.
  4. Save the file.
