Hi Mary Ellen,

Exactly how are you intending to give access to your "ingestor data feed"?

If you are referring to feeding the data via the LDM, then you have
a couple of options:

- ALLOW feed REQUEST(s) in the ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file

  You can comment out the ALLOW (and restart the LDM) when you no
  longer want the colleagues to access the feed(s).

- allow/deny the access to the data in your firewall

Comment:

- if you are thinking about feeding the data you are ingesting from
  the NOAAPort SBN using the LDM, you should be aware that I tried
  to feed from you and did not have good luck since ** apparently **
  your outbound bandwidth is very limited and/or the security inspection
  imposed on the traffic slowed the feed down to the point that it
  was unusable

Again, exactly how are you planning/wanting to share the data with your
colleagues?

Cheers,

Tom
