I am currently building a web application, that has fully separated a frontend server

  • 0

I am currently building a web application, that has fully separated a “frontend” server with Lighttpd only serving the index.html and javascript etc.

Backbone.js etc. keep my frontend in connection with my webservice “backend” written in Node.js

The backend is completely stateless, doing authentication each request through http basic and runs SSL (https).

How do I make sure that only the connections happening on my “backend” server are comming from the Lighttpd “frontend” server and not some random hacker?

Thanks for help.

    If you know the front-end server is going to be on a specific IP address or range or IP addresses, you might want to restrict traffic on the back-end server to only be from that address.
