The Allowed Hosts and Services list consists of hosts that may access the currently managed ORF instance remotely and controls the scope of their access. Edit the list by clicking the Allowed IPs button on the Remote Access page of the Administration Tool ().
Click the Add button to add a host to the list. To modify an existing host definition, click Edit or hit Enter. Definitions can be deleted using the Remove button or the Delete key.
Click the column header of any column by which you wish to sort the list. To reverse sorting, click the column header again.
Configure the host IP address and the services available for the host in this dialog.
Specify the IP address(es) or range(s) of hosts which are allowed to remotely access ORF. The dialog accepts a single IPv4 address in a dotted format (e.g., 1.2.3.4) or an IPv4 network range. Ranges can be defined using various notations. The examples below all describe the 192.168.251.0 - 192.168.251.255 range.
Enter an optional comment here so you can identify the host later.
Three type of access can be specified for each host entry:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Only Remote Administration | The specified host can connect to this ORF instance remotely using the management tools of ORF. Such hosts can change the ORF configuration and have full access to the file system. |
| Only Configuration Synchronization | The specified host can retrieve the configuration of this ORF instance for configuration synchronization. |
| All services | Both above services. |
Remote Administration grants a wide range of rights, including full access to the local file system. Make sure to grant this service only to hosts and networks you consider absolutely secure.
