Feeds module sounds like the way to go. Is the idea to have a job on grimlock generate a feed file which Drupal, whose host would have the relevant part of grimlock's fs mounted, would periodically read? And then when the user clicks on a link in the generated node Drupal would serve the mp3 to them depending on some authz policy that would be specified (how? in what layer?) based on the user's LDAP identity which they got by authenticating to Drupal? Or is WRFU's Drupal authentication separate from LDAP authentication?<br>

<p>Interesting project. If the we made the education site use the IMC ldap for auth, access to grimlock could be controlled through ldap user or groups. Regarding the integration with drupal, the Feeds module could be used to access a csv with the relevant data and create/update drupal nodes.</p>

<br>The recordings reside on grimlock which I think Brian set up so the filesystem holding the recordings can be mounted remotely.<br>
<br>The first approach that occurs to me is that I could write a Drupal module that would drop into the RFU website so Drupal's access control config could limit access to authenticated RFU website users (we can't just publish the recordings to the world at large because of licensing issues). The module would allow users to select which show and which airdate they want, and they would get an mp3 (access to uncompressed recordings via the website I imagine raises bandwidth issues and so that could be handled offline).<br>
<br>If there's already a "download a file from a filesystem (with some filtering)" module for Drupal then I wouldn't have to write one.<br><br>Alternatively, the recorder script could generate a feed for each show and the webserver could serve the feeds, but then there's the issue of how to secure the audio itself--again, we can't just make it web-accessible to unauthenticated users.<br>
<br>Any and all advice or help welcome.<br><br>All of these approaches require mounting grimlock's fs on a world-facing host, which I don't have sufficient credentials to do, so I could use help with that.<br><br clear="all">
