Our solution was a hack and I will be the first to admit it, but what we
did was write a little script that ran out of cron on the hobbit server that
grepped for a customer named and scp'ed the static html files over to their
portion of the portal web server. It was easy to do if I remember right
and we had a chance to massage the html files and prepare them for customers
to see. We used sed to remove the reports and other hobbit things (gifs,
etc) clients did not need to see. I cannot find the script (I am no longer
with the company), but thats it in a nutshell. HTH

Hello,
I'm working on a project that aims to "surface" Hobbit functionality
through my Company's customer-facing portal, so that customers can monitor
their own devices hosted in our data centres.
We need to do it in a way that doesn't violate security. We need our
Portal to send Hobbit some customer's parameters in a secure way, and
retrieve the requested monitoring information, either in the form of
directly displayable HTML pages, or in the form of (XML ?) data.
One customer must not be able to manipulate the browser input to access
other customers' monitors.
I am hoping someone can enlight me, or point me to some useful information
Regards,
Paolo
