Server Admin Node Management

To add a remote node login to the admin panel at /admin and then create a new node object. Example node:

Host = example.com
Api_prefix = /api
Username: team99
Password: secret
Remote credentials = False

Set Remote credentials = False if the credentials will be used by example.com to connect with this server and set Remote credentials = True if the credentials will be used to connect to exmaple.com. Api_prefix is optional.

Next, add this host to the list called "CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS" in code/cmput404/settings.py. Like:

CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = [
    "http://example.com",
    "https://google.com",
    ....
]

Note:

• For this server's credentials both Remote credentials = True/False need to be present and same. ie:

Host = social-distribution-fall2021.herokuapp.com
Api_prefix = /api
Username: team99
Password: secret99
Remote credentials = True/False

• The host is social-distribution-fall2021.herokuapp.com for production and 127.0.0.1:8000 in development for example.

• Each remote server can have two nodes at maximum with a different set of usernames/passwords.
