Greetings.
I'm getting questions about requesting restricted data through EMERALD. Do
you have an estimate as to when that functionality will be available?
Thanks!

Hi John,
As a conservative estimate I would say that access to restricted data via web services should be in place in early next year. I'm hopeful it'll be sooner but there are a lot of details involved.
As a bit of insight into what we're doing: the DMC old (current) access was not a good fit for access via services, a password was specific to a data set and shared between researchers. We needed a new paradigm in which a users' personal password will give them access to all the data sets they are allowed to access. At the same time we modernized the internal password management at the DMC. A message has been drafted explaining the details to those users with restricted data sets, but in short you'll be able to use the same data web services and provide a username and password to get access to your data. HTTP Digest Authentication will be used, it's standard and well supported by nearly all HTTP clients/toolkits.

In the mean time, you can access restricted data with DHI. It would
not be much of an effort to put a thin web services wrapper around the
existing DHI seismogram server and to allow this now.
Revamping restricted data access password sounds like a good idea. Old
system was always a bit weird.
Just my $0.02

Yeah, we think so too. When the old system was started decades ago it was a pretty good fit for the problem, moving into DHI and then web services it's less convenient.

Hi John
I have put up a tarball that handles the proxy for a dataselect style
web service to a DHI seismogram server to allow access to restricted
data. See the ReadMe in the tarball for how to use it.
http://www.seis.sc.edu/~crotwell/dataselectDHIProxy/
All a bit rough, but seems to work for my limited testing. Not bad for
a couple of hours in the morning.
You might want to look at bit at this to see how it is done in SOD,
which is closely related to this code:
http://www.seis.sc.edu/sod/documentation/restricted.html
Enjoy, and let me know if you find any issues.
