Allow only dedicated IP addresses

Classic Servoy
1

I’ve got a question/request from a customer:
Is it possible to allow only certain IP addresses to login to the Servoy Application server?

Got to say, ‘Yes’, here

But it would be down to your Router/Firewall configuration as this is not something native to Servoy Server

But it would be nice to be able to configure this in the Servoy Server Administration, though… :wink:

Easy: write your own plugin. (If you don’t know Java many java companies will be happy to code it for you)

I guess that could be a nice option. I’ll probably give it a shot in a while… or someone else would be so kind to write this plugin, because I do think customers would appreciate this option (mine do for sure :wink: ).

With this plugin you can retrieve the IP Address of the client and thus build your login logic around the IP-Address of the client.

This plugin is a quickly build plugin, not supported yet, but in the planning of making it nicer with samplecode etc…

for now feel free to use it.

PS: Be aware that IP addresses can be faked, so basing your security completely on IP Address is probably not a wise idea

Thanks a lot, Paul! Great job. I’ll try to build some security around it. :D

Hey Paul,

Any plans to finish up the “client chat” plug-in? That would be SUCH A COOL plug-in! Chat inside Servoy would be awesome.

I can help build a solution around it if you want…

Hi Bob,

Yes, still on the planning to make this messenger/chat plugin. But for now I’m busy finishing up another plugin that should have been finished allready… :?

As soon as that is done, Ill continue to work on the chat plugin (and also finish the IP Address plugin, as promized…)

Hi Paul,

Didn’t mean to pressure you! :)

It’s great that you’re turning out great plug-ins.

Cheers,

Bob
