Re: [platform-update-dev] Limiting access to feature downloads
|
Steve,
The general problem with Install/Update component is that it is open
source, and as such has its source code avaiable for everybody. Any
security mechanism in Eclipse itself would be easy to circumvent for that
reason. I will let others correct me, but I think you can introduce
restrict access to the update site using login/password scheme (on the
server side). That way, you would need to log in in order to view the site
contents and subsequently install/update.
Other than that, you would need to implement a custom site that performs a
more fine-grain access control (for example, allows browsing but not
installation).

Please respond to
platform-update-dev
Is there a way to limit access to features/plugins from a public site so
that a product offering service refreshes can do so without giving away
their product function for free? These are the ways I can think of this
working, but they all have cons.
