How do you configure Static File Authorization

[Rainer Rillke]

Hi,

assume you have an Opencast installation with admin and presentation living on separate hosts.

Opencast 9 introduced a great feature, namely "Securing Static Files" which allows you to require a session for your users before content is being delivered.

Now open the video editor on your admin interface on your admin node; this will load some files from your internal publication channel. It seems that our Opencast installation asks the presentation server for assets like /static/mh_default_org/internal/X/X/waveform.png

However, it's not granted that the user is logged-in on the presentation server.

Is our configuration somehow bugged; internal publications should be probably delivered by the host housing the admin UI?

It would be probably be easily fixed by making the presentation proxy always redirect back to the admin for the internal publication channel but I'd like to make sure I'm adding configuration to mitigate my misconfiguration.

Kind regards

Rainer
