editing multichain.conf

Question

if i want other user to connect to my web demo, which mean each of them need to edit their multichain.conf file by adding the ip address as  shown below.

Then add this to ~/.multichain/chain1/multichain.conf:

rpcallowip=[IP address of your web server]

Is there other alternative way without them editing their multichain.conf file because i want to make my web demo to be as automated and user friendly.

Answer 1

It is indeed necessary for each multichaind node to be configured to accept incoming API connections from your web demo.

I don't know exactly what you're planning, but if this means that each user of your system is providing their node's IP address and API credentials to your web server, then this is a very insecure setup, and is only suitable for demo and testing purposes.
