You can restrict access to the Administration Server or your web site
based on which computer the request comes from.
You can restrict access to the Administration Server or your web site
based on which computer the request comes from.
If you select the Only from option, enter a wildcard pattern or a comma-separated
list in the Host Names or IP Addresses fields. Restricting by hostname is
more flexible than by IP address: if a user’s IP address changes, you
won’t need to update this list. Restricting by IP address, however,
is more reliable: if a DNS lookup fails for a connected client, hostname restriction
cannot be used.
You can only use the * wildcard notation for wildcard
patterns that match the computers’ host names or IP addresses. For example,
to allow or deny all computers in a specific domain, you will enter a wildcard
pattern that matches all hosts from that domain, such as *.sun.com.
You can set different hostnames and IP addresses for superusers accessing
the Administration Server.
For hostnames, the * must replace an entire component
of the name. That is, *.sun.com is acceptable, but *users.sun.com is not. When the * appears in a hostname, it
must be the left-most character.
For example, *.sun.com is acceptable, but users.*.com is not. For the IP address, the * must replace
an entire byte in the address. For example, 198.95.251.* is
acceptable, but 198.95.251.3* is not. When the * appears
in an IP address, it must be the right-most character. For example, 198.* is acceptable, but not 198.*.251.30.
