Restrict database connection to bolt protocol

It should only be possible to use the bolt protocol (no http) to connect to the Neo4j database. At least the .env file and the AbstractDashboardComponent have to be changed.

@rmllr Now only the bolt protocol can be used in the dashboard. Please try again anyway and merge my fix to master if everything works fine. :)

Everything works as expected. However, the label "URL" on the settings page is not correct anymore and might confuse users.

The following things should be done to fix this:

  • Change the label "URL" on the settings page into "IP"
  • Change the help text "Since the dashboard uses the Bolt protocol, the prefix "bolt://" is automatically added to the entered URL. Default: localhost" on the settings page into "The dashboard uses the bolt protocol to connect to the database. Please ensure that the Neo4j bolt connector is enabled. Default: localhost"
  • Change the env variable name REACT_APP_NEO4J_URL into REACT_APP_NEO4J_IP
  • Check if other changes are necessary
