Allowed paths in case of connection via DataMiner proxy

If a client does not have direct access to the video server, it can request a video feed via the DataMiner Agent acting as a proxy server.

When a video feed is requested via proxy, the list of allowed URLs will be restricted for security reasons.

By default, the following URLs are allowed:

http://ipaddress/axis-cgi/...
http://ipaddress/video_thumbnails/...
http://ipaddress/tile/...
http://ipaddress/images/thumbs/...
http://ipaddress/cgi-bin/getthumbnail...
http://ipaddress/tmp/JPEG_Thumbnail/...
http://ipaddress/control/frame/slot/getThumbImage...

If more URLs need to be added to the list of allowed URLs, do the following:

  1. Open C:\Skyline DataMiner\Webpages\VideoThumbnails\Web.config.

  2. Go to the appSettings section.

  3. Add all additional paths to the ExtraAllowedPaths key, separated by semicolons (";"):

    <add key="ExtraAllowedPaths" value="" />
    Note

Example: If your video server hosts thumbnails at http://videoserver/thumbnails/image1.jpg, then add /thumbnails/ to the value of the ExtraAllowedPaths key.

Caution

Setting up a proxy could create a weakness in the network security, giving users from the public network access to resources on the private network. Use this with extreme caution.
