Blacklisting allows you to limit access to your EMS. This will affect anything that accesses the web port which is by default 8888. This feature works with the two configuration files which are the blacklist.txt and whitelist.txt

How To

  1. Check if blacklist and whitelist configration in webconfig.lua is enabled

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

    Note: enableIPFilter is false in default

    ​

  2. Add IP addresses to blacklist and whitelist text files

    Example:

    blacklist.txt

    192.168.2.3
192.168.2.4
192.168.2.5
192.168.2.6
192.168.2.7
192.168.2.8
192.168.2.9
192.168.2.10

    whitelist.txt

    192.168.2.11
192.168.2.12
192.168.2.13

  3. Run EMS

    In this example, only IP addresses listed in the whitelist.txt will be granted access to the web server port of EMS, the rest are blacklisted. See the implementation below.

    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

  • You can use IPv6 in this list
