[Opensim-users] Limiting access through Hypergrid

[Diva Canto]

[This is more appropriate for the -dev list]

WRT your first point: No. Leave your existing grid services alone and 
protected.
The Hypergrid is made of a number of *additional* services to those that 
a grid has. It's those services that you need to focus on.
For the most part, they exist in the DLL OpenSim.Services.Hypergrid.dll, 
so that's what you want to look at. In the standard configurations, they 
are installed in the port outside the firewall.  Note that these are 
different services from the internal ones, different names, different 
implementations, with a lot more security.

WRT your second point: Again, no. If you don't have a Gatekeeper, your 
users who go out won't be able to come home.

If you want to do those restrictions right now, you'll need to change 
the code yourself.
If you can wait a couple of months, we are working on supporting those 
kinds of requirements in a generic manner.
In the master dev code, there are already some provisions for filtering 
who can go out (and come back) using the UserLevel field of user 
accounts. But a lot more is coming.
