3. Restart the Messenger service.
Caution: 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. PReS 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" on page704.
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 PReS Workflow Service Console" on page746.
