Hi
I have done some searching but haven’t been able to find anything on this, I am
sorry if I have missed something obvious.
Back in 0.6 the grid servers required a send and receive key to authorise the
region server to register with the grid
server. I can’t see any obvious facility for this now in Robust. I run a small
personal grid and recently moved it to
another server with Robust and OpenSim.ini (with about 8 regions) running on
that machine. I kept some regions that were
not often used on my existing server and changed them to connect to the Robust
server on the new machine. It all worked
perfectly so that was good.. but it got me thinking. When I set my old server
to register regions on the external robust
server, all I had to do was point it to the address. I didn’t have to put in
any key to sell the Robust server who I
was. Apart from the security via obscurity of people not guessing the address
of my Robust server, anyone could register
any regions on this it seems.
There must be more to it than this, what am I missing?
The keys were removed some time ago. As far as I recall, the feeling was that it didn't provide meaningful security and
there were no strong objections to their removal.
If you want to protect your robust server then you will need to do it via
firewall settings.
