Configuring the IP Restrictions

For enhanced security and if the administrator wants to whitelist specific IP addresses for user login, AppViewX lets you configure IP restrictions to allow access from whitelisted IP addresses/subnet ranges.

To configure IP restrictions:

  1. To access the navigation pane, in the top-left corner of the screen, hover the mouse pointer over the icon.
  2. From the menu displayed, click Settings.
  3. On the Settings page, from the navigation pane on the left, click General.
  4. Under General settings, click Authentication.

    The Settings :: Authentication page is displayed, with the LDAP tab open by default.

  5. To configure the IP restrictions, on the Settings :: Authentication page, click the IP Restriction tab.

  6. In the General Information section, turn on the Enable IP Restriction toggle.
  7. In the IP/Subnet Configuration section, enter the required field information.

    The following table describes the field information in this section:
    Field Description
    *Rule Name Rule name for a whitelisting condition.
    *User group Select the user group to which this rule will apply, from the dropdown menu, .
    Note: Only the users from the selected user group will be allowed to login to AppViewX from the whitelisted IP address/subnet range.
    Mapping Type Select one of the two mapping types:
    • IP Range
    • Subnet
    *Start IP Enter the starting IP address for the whitelisted IP/subnet range.
    Note: The IP/subnet range should be specified in the ascending order.
    Note: This field is displayed only when Mapping Type is selected as IP Range.
    End IP Enter the ending IP address for the whitelisted IP/subnet range.
    Note: The IP/subnet range should be specified in the ascending order.
    Note: This field is displayed only when Mapping Type is selected as IP Range.

    Note: This field is displayed only when Mapping Type is selected as Subnet.
  8. To save the IP restriction settings, click Add or to reconfigure the settings, click Reset.
