To open the Access Manager
l Open PlanetPress Design or PlanetPress Workflow Configuration Tool.
l In the Ribbon, go in Tools | Managers | Access Manager.
The Access Manager dialog box is displayed. It lists all IPand IPranges that have PlanetPress Design, PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools, PlanetPress Fax or PlanetPress Image installed in the same network.
To add a new entry in the list
l Open the Access Manager
l Make sure you are in the Messenger tab.
l In the IPaddress box, enter the IPaddress of the remote machine.
l
Click on the button.
The format of the IP address must be one of the following:
l 127.0.0.1: The local computer. Typically this IP should have all the accesses checked.
l 255.255.255.255: Everyone on the same subnet. This is equivalent to hard-coding the current subnet, such as
192.168.1.255 or 10.0.0.255.
l 192.168.0.42 : A single IP address. This can be any valid address on the same subnet.
l 10.0.255.255:Any IPin the 10.0.X.X range.
The following considerations are to be understood when using the Access Manager to configure IPlimitations:
l Each permission type (column)is evaluated from top to bottom (column per column)in the order they are visible in the
Access Manager window. This means that wide ranges should always be at the top to increase performance. For exam-
ple, if you accept HTTPconnections from any IP, the first entry should be 255.255.255.255 with the Allow checkmark in
the HTTPInput box. PlanetPress does not continue processing after it has found an "Allow" checkmark. There is no con-
cept of "Deny", meaning if any "Allow"permission is given, there is no way to later remove it for certain IPs or
IPranges.
l Messenger communications (between different part of the PlanetPress Suite)was limited to within the same Class
Csubnet. This means that PlanetPress Workflow on 192.168.1.23 cannot send a job to a PlanetPress Image on
192.168.100.54. This limitation has been removed in PlanetPress Suite 7.3
l HTTP, FTPand SOAPcommunication is not limited to the local subnet on any version where these plugins appear.
To modify permissions
Permissions are given simply by adding and removing options in the permission grid. Access to the services installed on this
computer is granted or denied by checking the corresponding boxes next to the listed IP ranges. For each IPrange, the fol-
lowing information is displayed:
l Host name: The name of those computers on which PlanetPress Suite software are currently installed or which have
been manually added.
l IP address: The IPaddress or IPaddress range to give permission to.
l Permissions
l HTTP Input:Grants access to send HTTP Requests to this server.
l LPD Input: Grants access to send LPD Queue jobs to this server.
l Send Job: Grants access to the selected computer or server to send jobs to PlanetPress Fax and PlanetPress
Image installed on this server.
l Send Document: Grants access to the remote computer to send new or updated PlanetPress Design Doc-
uments to this server.

Workflow service
