HI Pierre,
Next you add a "New directory to this line", click on "Type" radio
button and choose "Sparql access point" from the dropdown list and
press Next button. Set "Path" to /sparql and press the "Save
Changes"
button to store.
At this point you have created:
http://my.example.com:8080/sparql
I followed your procedure and it works fine, thanks !
However I see that by default the new sparql endpoint is run under the
user 'dba'. I was therefore wondering if it would not be more secure
to
create a new user dedicated to this sparql endpoint and having only
rights to retrieve data (not insert or update).
Is this correct ?
There is no need to do this as this is already done.
Even though the endpoint is run as dba, it is not calling a .vsp
page (think .php and other dynamic pages which mix html with scripting
language) but it is calling a service /!sparql which is a build-in
service in the virtuoso server.
First thing this service does is to sudo to the SPARQL user.
This SPARQL user by default does not have permissions the add/modify/
delete data in the database, unless specifically granted.
Patrick
