That explains it. Thanks. I’m using openSSO to restrict access to a mark logic 
app and have an SSO agent running on the box that proxies over to the mark 
logic port. So 127.0.0.1 works allowing only the agent traffic to get to the 
port and preventing external access.

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] http server address field

It is the address for the application server socket to listen on. The default 
value of 0.0.0.0 is the standard value that tells a socket to listen on all 
interfaces on the host. When you configured it to 127.0.0.1 you restricted your 
server to just the loopback interface, hence the inability to connect from 
anywhere external to the host.

This is typically useful when a host has more than one network interface and 
you wish to configure an application server to only accept connections on one 
of them. For example, you might have one interface that is externally facing 
and one that is internally facing and only wish to have your admin UI 
accessible to hosts on the internal network.

What is the purpose of the address field in the mark logic http server type? 
The admin guide doesn’t cover it. I changed it to 127.0.0.1 and was unable to 
access the port for that http app server until I reverted it to 0.0.0.0. Is 
there any documentation anywhere on how this configuration piece is used?



Thanks.
