Application Security

Updated

Application security is used to restrict access to your application's resources by configuring a list of IP addresses that are allowed to connect.

How I can restrict access

  1. Navigate to the Basic settings tab
  2. Select the Application Security card
  3. Activate control mceclip1.png
  4. Fill in the fieldsmceclip3.png
  5. Clickmceclip5.png

    Note: to disable access restriction using an IP address, you must deactivate control mceclip13.pngregardless of whether the allowed IP addresses are deleted or not

     

     

    What is CIDR notation?

    CIDR is short for Classless Inter-Domain Routing, an IP addressing scheme, by which a single IP address can be used to designate many unique IP addresses. A CIDR IP address looks like a normal IP address except that it ends with a slash followed by a number, called the IP network prefix. CIDR addresses reduce the size of routing tables and make more IP addresses available within applications.

    For more information, see "CIDR notation" on Wikipedia.

     

     

    About allowed IP addresses and how I can add it to the list

    You can restrict access to app assets by configuring an allow list for specific IP addresses. For example, you can allow access from only the IP address of your office network. The allow list for IP addresses will block access via the web from any IP addresses that are not on the allow list.

     

    To enforce the IP allow list, you must add IP addresses to the list: you can add a current IP address (which is indicated in the cardmceclip0.png), or you can add a CIDR IP address corresponding to your current IP address.

    Note: each IP address from the range is added as a separate line.

     

    To do this you need:

    1. At the bottom of the card enter an IP address or a range of addresses in CIDR notation

    2. Optionally, enter a description of the allowed IP address

    3. Click mceclip5.png

     

     

    How I can delete an allowed IP address

    1. Navigate to the Basic Settings tab
    2. Select the Application Security card
    3. In the list of allowed IP addresses, select the one you want to delete
    4. To the right of the entry, click the Remove button

          5. In the confirmation window, click Yes

    Note: even after deleting all allowed IP addresses, access to the application will be restricted
