Cross-domain Policy File
========================
A cross-domain policy file allows web pages hosted elsewhere to use client
side technologies such as Flash, Java and Silverlight to interact
with the Swift API.
See https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AppSec/xdomain.html for
a description of the purpose and structure of the cross-domain policy
file. The cross-domain policy file is installed in the root of a web
server (i.e., the path is ``/crossdomain.xml``).
The crossdomain middleware responds to a path of ``/crossdomain.xml`` with an
XML document such as:
.. code:: xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd" >
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
You should use a policy appropriate to your site. The examples and the
default policy are provided to indicate how to syntactically construct
a cross domain policy file -- they are not recommendations.
-------------
Configuration
-------------
To enable this middleware, add it to the pipeline in your proxy-server.conf
file. It should be added before any authentication (e.g., tempauth or
keystone) middleware. In this example ellipsis (...) indicate other
middleware you may have chosen to use:
.. code:: cfg
[pipeline:main]
pipeline = ... crossdomain ... authtoken ... proxy-server
And add a filter section, such as:
.. code:: cfg
[filter:crossdomain]
use = egg:swift#crossdomain
cross_domain_policy = <allow-access-from domain="*.example.com" />
<allow-access-from domain="www.example.com" secure="false" />
For continuation lines, put some whitespace before the continuation
text. Ensure you put a completely blank line to terminate the
``cross_domain_policy`` value.
The ``cross_domain_policy`` name/value is optional. If omitted, the policy
defaults as if you had specified:
.. code:: cfg
cross_domain_policy = <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
.. note::
The default policy is very permissive; this is appropriate
for most public cloud deployments, but may not be appropriate
for all deployments. See also:
