Günther Lackner	Thursday 20 October 2005 6:32:40 am Hi! I need to restrict the access to the back end. Is there a possibility to only allow an IP address range? Or is it possible to bind the admin interface to a certain port? thanks 4 your help! lacky
Björn X	Thursday 20 October 2005 9:48:24 am Yes you can do that... but it is nothing you can do within Exponential You will need to use apache for this. Have a look in the apache docs
Marko Žmak	Thursday 20 October 2005 10:18:30 am Just for the info, why do you want to restrict access to some IP adresses? Doesn't the user and roles system in eZ provide enough functionality? -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
Günther Lackner	Friday 21 October 2005 1:21:30 am It is a security matter. If I make the admin interface only reachable at an specific PORT, I can restrict the access to this PORT in the firewall. So nobody can even access the admin page. Just computers which I can trust. lacky
Marko Žmak	Friday 21 October 2005 11:37:35 am Well you could do this with "Location" (or "LocationMatch") and "Alow/Deny" directives in Apache. Something like this: <Location index.php/my_ez_site/admin/*> Order Deny, Allow Deny From All Allow From <your_ip_list> </Location> but check the correct syntax fo these directives, I haven't been using them for quite a while. And there's no need for binding the admin interface to another port. -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
