Allow Edit Mode Anywhere app to send a custom HTTP header(s) for Authentication #21376

Closed yolabingo closed 1 month ago

yolabingo commented 2 years ago

It might be useful if the EMA app could send custom HTTP headers like Authorization: with its requests, so clients need not rely on IP whitelists to secure their rendering servers.

More broadly, perhaps this could be done with some or all outbound HTTP requests.

Cloud customers have asked us for the public IPs of their cloud servers in order to restrict access to their rendering servers. These IPs change at the whim of AWS, which imposes work on both dotCMS (to provide a current list of public IPs) and on cloud customers (to update their firewalls when the IPs change).

@fmontes @wezell does this seem reasonable?
