Release 1.3 includes an experimental feature that enables Network users to access restricted content on another DVN, or in another location where Basic HTTP authentication is used.
You must arrange with the remote institution to create an account for you, grant that accout the desired access privileges, and pass the credentials (username and password) to you.
To configure privileged access, create an entry in the RemoteAccessAuth database table by using the following command:
INSERT INTO RemoteAccessAuth (id, hostname, authtype, authcred1,
authcred2) VALUES (1, 'REMOTEHOST', 'dvn', 'REMOTEUSER',
'REMOTEPASSWORD');
In this command, authtype is set to dvn. If you are authenticating via HTTP/Basic Auth, set this to httpbasic.
Note: You must grant access to these materials only to authorized users of your DVN, in accordance with the access agreement between you and the provider institution.
