Security. Administrators use this portlet to secure who has the ability to log into My webMethods Server. Using this portlet, administrators restrict login access to users who have IP addresses within specified ranges, for example, IP address inside the corporate firewall. Configure up to four allowed IP address ranges.

My webMethods Server only presents the authentication request when a client's IP address falls within an allowed range. This prevents hackers who can guess valid user names/passwords from logging in because their client IP addresses do not fall within the allowed ranges.

For more information about this portlet, see information about managing My webMethods Server in Administering My webMethods Server .

Indicates whether My webMethods Server checks client IP addresses to ensure they fall within allowed ranges before requesting authentication. Specify one of the following:

true – Ensure a client's IP address is within allowed ranges before requesting authentication.

false – Default. Request authentication regardless of a client's IP address.

Identifies the page to redirect a user to when the authentication request is rejected. Specify the page inside My webMethods Server that you want displayed. All instances of the portlet share the value of this property. If the property has no value, no reason for the rejected authentication request is provided.

Identifies the administrator to notify when a user authentication request is rejected. Specify the administrator's e-mail address. All instances of the portlet share the value of this property. If the property has no value, no e-mail notification for the rejected authentication request is provided to the administrator.

Identifies the first range of IP addresses. My webMethods Server will present the authentication request to users who have IP addresses within this range. For Start IP Range (startIP), specify the start IP address of the first range, for example, 10.10.10.0. For End IP Range (endIP), specify the end IP address of the first range, for example, 10.10.10.255.

All instances of the portlet share the value of these properties. If the properties have no value, no users can log in.

Identifies the second range of IP addresses. My webMethods Server will present the authentication request to users who have IP addresses within this range. For Start IP Range (startIP2), specify the start IP address of the second range. For End IP Range (endIP2), specify the end IP address of the second range.

All instances of the portlet share the value of these properties. If the properties have no value, the properties are ignored.

Identifies the third range of IP addresses. My webMethods Server will present the authentication request to users who have IP addresses within this range. For Start IP Range (startIP3), specify the start IP address of the third range. For End IP Range (endIP3), specify the end IP address of the third range.

All instances of the portlet share the value of these properties. If the properties have no value, the properties are ignored.

Identifies the fourth range of IP addresses. My webMethods Server will present the authentication request to users who have IP addresses within this range. For Start IP Range (startIP4), specify the start IP address of the fourth range. For End IP Range (endIP4), specify the end IP address of the fourth range.

All instances of the portlet share the value of these properties. If the properties have no value, the properties are ignored.
