 Description   

Document how to use /server/IPConfig.

  • Explain the purpose of this configuration node. (It grants or denies permissions based on IP address and HTTP method.)
  • What does it deny/grant access to?
  • Write a procedure for creating rules.
  • How are IP addresses specified in the rule? (Comma separated list or regular expression. Ranges are not supported at the moment.) Provide examples.
  • Which HTTP access methods are supported? (GET, POST, others?)
  • Read code and Javadoc for IPSecurityManagerImpl class.
  • IPConfigRulesUpdateTest (old test script) and MAGNOLIA-3306 have some clues.

Place the documentation on a new page Administration > Security > IP.

Received E-mail from Zdenek Skodik confirming that each rule can only have a single IP. Also stated that the access rules are applied to public and author instances.
