Does this Authentication header works when contacting to a neo4j server remotely? #29

Hello,

Iam new to this neo4j, and i have a scenario where i should give remote access to a neo4j server with credentials. So iam trying to download jar file add these 3 lines into neo4j-server.properties org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=xx.xxx.xx.xx org.neo4j.server.credentials=username:password org.neo4j.server.thirdparty_jaxrs_classes=org.neo4j.server.extension.auth=/auth

But when i try http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:7518/auth it prompts me for password and username, but when i provide, ideally what i need is it should get browser screen of neo4j, that is what is needed. Does this authentication extension provides that? I mean i need authentication to be provided to remote server for browser page(http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx:7518/browser) . after correct authentication it should redirect to browser page. I badly need help in this. Any pointers would be very helpful.

Thanks Sreelatha.

Yep it should work, make sure to use the right version for your neo4j-instance.

What exactly doesn't work? Can you check the data/log/*.log files of your sever for any error messages?

Hello Jexp,

Thanks for all your support. Actually i was trying it with VNC server, with 1 GB RAM so it was very slow, and i miss took it as not working. For authentication for browser i simply put that as org.neo4j.server.thirdparty_jaxrs_classes=org.neo4j.server.extension.auth=/* This worked.

Thanks you, Sreelatha.
