Hi Sam It should be possible to set up a user account on the application server that can only access HBSMR and nothing else. However it sounds like perhaps there is a policy objection to anonymous users. We are finding that the way the Government Connect guidelines are being interpreted and implemented is hugely variable between authorities! The Heritage Gateway may provide a better alternative when it gets its interactive mapping. A standalone system may be viable for you, but you'd need our "SQL to MDB" extraction tool, as you are unlikely to be able to run SQL Server on a standalone PC. Also you'd have potential problems with base maps - these would all need to copied onto the machine. Happy to discuss options further off-list! Yours Crispin From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sam Mellonie Sent: 15 June 2010 14:30 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Government Connect We are still sorting things out from our unitary reorganisation, and one of the latest things we have been told is that when we move to our new location and log onto the new network under Government Connect we will not be able to log visitors to the HER onto HBSMR. At present we have a read-only version which we let consultants and some members of the public use, with some simple guidance, to speed up their search. Although there is potential for them to roam around our network and files, they are also grown-ups and are in for a specific purpose - it has never been an issue. Additionally, we do not have access to files unrelated to our work area, and between Stephen and myself we have no confidential files. What I was wondering was how other HERs approach this problem, either with HBSMR or any other system they are using. We have considered the Heritage Gateway as an alternative and returning to paper maps (which fortunately we still have), but this is not an ideal solution. We are also considering a standalone copy on a locked down PC which would then entail regular data uploads. All ideas welcome.
