Defines the IP address that will have access to EMS. If a whitelist is specified, access will only be granted to that IP address that APPEARS on the whitelist file.

Implementation:

Blacklist Whitelist Is Allowed?
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 whitelist file

  • whitelistFile code should not be commented to be able to honor the list of whitelist IP address

      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
