Defines the IP address that will be blocked by EMS. If a blacklist is specified, access will only be granted to IP address does NOT APPEAR on the blacklist.

Implementation:

Blacklist Whitelist Allowed IPs
empty empty all IPs are allowed
x.x.x.x empty all IPs are allowed except for x.x.x.x
empty y.y.y.y only y.y.y.y is allowed
x.x.x.x y.y.y.y only y.y.y.y is allowed
no file y.y.y.y only y.y.y.y is allowed
x.x.x.x no file all IPs are allowed except for x.x.x.x
no file no file error

##Notes:

  • enableIPFilter should be set to true in webconfig.lua to be able to read the blacklist file

  • blacklistFile code should not be commented to be able to honor the list of blacklisted IP address

    Entry in config.lua:

      enableIPFilter=true,
  whitelistFile="..\\config\\whitelist.txt",
  blacklistFile="..\\config\\blacklist.txt",

  • If IP address is both on whitelist and blacklist file, EMS will treat the IP address as blacklisted
