ProjectLocker Now Supports Restriction By IP Address and Domain
Posted by C. G. Brown Sat, 17 Oct 2009 17:46:00 GMT
A number of our customers have requested the ability to restrict access to services by IP address or domain, so that employees can only access Subversion or Trac from specific computers or locations. We now provide restriction by IP address or IP range. Access restriction is included at no additional cost for Venture, Equity, and Enterprise accounts. We will soon be providing it for Seed and Angel accounts for an additional charge.We support four types of addresses:
- Domains - e.g. "somedomain.com" or "my.domain.com"
- IP Addresses or portions - e.g. "1.2.3.4" for a specific IP or "1.2" for any address beginning with "1.2."
- IP Address ranges with Netmasks - e.g. "10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0"
- IP Address ranges with CIDR Netmasks - e.g. "10.1.0.0/16
To configure your account, just go to the Account Information link and check the "Restrict Access by IP" checkbox, then save your changes. Then, for the project you wish to restrict access to, click the "Restrict Project Access by IP" link and follow the instructions.
Once IP restriction is set up, users will still be able to access ProjectLocker Portal from anywhere with their authentication credentials, but will not be able to use Subversion or Trac unless they are coming from an authorized location.
With IP restrictions, you can rest easy, knowing you have an added measure of security and Enterprise-grade protection, all at the lowest prices in the industry.
