Warning
The following considerations are to be understood when using the Access Manager to
configure IP limitations:
l Each permission type (column) is evaluated from top to bottom (column per column)
in the order in which they are visible in the Access Manager window. This means
that wide ranges should always be at the top to increase performance. For example,
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
concept of "Deny", meaning if any "Allow" permission is given, there is no way to
later remove it for certain IP addresses or IP ranges.
l The configuration of the Access Manager is saved in a file on the hard drive which
can be edited manually. See Access Manager hosts.allow File.
l HTTP, FTP and SOAP communication is not limited to the local subnet on any
version where these plugins appear.
l Any change to the Access Manager requires a restart of the Messenger server
which can be done in "The PlanetPress Workflow Service Console" on page894.
Modifying 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 following information is displayed:
l
Host name: The name of those computers on which PlanetPress Workflow software are
currently installed or which have been manually added.
l
IP address: The IP address or IP address range to give permission to.
l
