Locking Out Selected Addresses and Domains
You can lock out specific IP addresses or domains from accessing the Siebel Distance Learning server by including the address or domain in the lockout list.
When locking out a domain, you can enter the specific domain (such as siebel.com) or a text string (such as Siebel).
CAUTION: While the Siebel Distance Learning application can lock out most IP addresses or domains, it is not possible to guarantee that IP addresses or domains can be locked out. Before starting a session, you should check the Audit Log to determine who is attending. As soon as you begin a session, you should lock out the session to provide maximum security for the session.
To lock out an IP address or domain
- Navigate to the Server Administration screen.
- Click the Session Lockout Administration hyperlink.
The Server Lockout Page appears.
- Enter the IP address or domain information that you want to prevent from accessing the Siebel Distance Learning server.
- In the Locked Out IP Addresses field, enter any IP address that you want to prevent from accessing the Siebel Distance Learning server and click Add.
- In the Locked Out Domains field, enter the domain that you want to prevent from accessing the Siebel Distance Learning server and click Add.
The Siebel Distance Learning application attempts to lock out the IP address or domain information that you entered. This information appears under the appropriate list, along with any other IP addresses or domains that have already been locked out.
NOTE: The lock out check will take place when you start the session and NOT when you lock the domain. For example, if a session is already going on, and you lock out a domain, users from that domain will still be able to join that session. If the user starts a new session, the user will not be able to join the session.
CAUTION: While the Siebel Distance Learning application can lock out most IP addresses or domains, it is not possible to guarantee that IP addresses or domains can be locked out. In cases where the computer is located behind a firewall/NAT or uses DHCP, it may not be able to lock out the specified IP address.
