Specify a white list for ARIS Administration

You can specify a white list for ARIS Administration.

A white list or black list is a positive or negative list with which systems can be protected. White lists and black lists pursue opposing strategies.

A white list contains all permitted URLs. A blacklist, on the other hand, specifically excludes URLs.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to <ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_umcadmin_m, for example, C:\ARIS10.0\server\bin\work\work_umcadmin_m.
  2. Start ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC).

    To start ACC under a Windows operating system click Start > All Programs > ARIS > Administration > Start ARIS Cloud Controller. If you have changed agent user credentials you must enter the user name and/or the password.

    To start ACC under a Linux operating system, execute the acc10.sh shell script instead.

  3. Stop the ARIS Administration runnable. Enter, for example, stop umcadmin_<s, m, or l>.
  4. You must use regular expressions for the white list. A regular expression is a character string used to describe sets of character strings using certain syntactic rules.

    Enter reconfigure umcadmin_<s, m, or l> "JAVA-Dcom.aris.umc.whitelist.url.regex.pattern"="<comma-separated ist of regular expressions>".

    Example

    If you want to allow a URL whose name consists of one word in lowercase letters and begins with https:// and ends with .com, use the following regular expression:

    https://[a-z]+.com

    if you want to allow graphics of jpg typewhose names consist of mixed-case alphanumeric characters, and which are located in subdirectories of a URL that begins with https:// and ends with .com, use the following regular expression:

    https://([a-z]*.)[a-z]*[.com](/[a-z]*)(/[a-z]*)(/[A-Za-z0-9_]+.jpg)

  5. Start the ARIS Administration runnable. Enter, for example, start umcadmin_<s, m, or l>.

You have specified a white list for ARIS Administration.

You can remove the white list again. To do so, proceed as described above and configure reconfigure umcadmin_m -"JAVA-Dcom.aris.umc.whitelist.url.regex.pattern".
