System Settings – IP Address Filtering

Capture

Notes

• The “Enable IP address restriction” checkbox is checked by default
  • The initial state (when no allowed networks are set) is as follows:
    • Access to all [Message Start Events] except for [Message Start Events (form)] is denied
    • Access to all [Received Tasks] except for [Received Tasks (form)] is denied
    • Except for the above, access to the workflow platform is allowed from all IP addresses (if you specify allowed networks in [Global Configuration], access from addresses other than the specified ones will be denied)
• If you uncheck the checkbox and save, the setting value will be cleared and the IP address restriction will be disabled (it will become accessible from anywhere in the world)
• [Global Configuration] applies to access to the entire workflow platform, including user logins and REST API requests
• If you specify an IP address in [Allowed Hosts/Networks] in [Global Configuration], access to the entire workflow platform will be allowed only from the specified address (access from other IP addresses will be denied)
• [Message Start Event/Receive Task Configuration] limits access to HTTP/Webhook requests, etc., that do not require user authentication, and allows you to specify access permissions by specifying apps or specific events within apps
  • This takes precedence over global settings
• Access is always allowed from within the same workflow platform, regardless of the settings
• Select from the dropdown menu and clicking the add button will display a path template in [Path Prefix]
• For specific applications, replace (processModelInfoId) with a number, and for specific nodes, replace (nodeNumber) with a number as well
  • (processModelInfoId) is replaced with the number following the ‘m’ in the “App ID” on the App details screen
  • (nodeNumber) is replaced with the number at the top of the event icon’s properties screen in the workflow diagram, before the event type
• The upper limits for each setting are as follows:
  • Number of path prefixes: 40
  • Number of characters in a single path prefix: 100
• Configurations with longer path prefixes take precedence over shorter path prefixes
• For details on the [Networks Allowed to Connect] setting:
  • Please specify using a global IP address
  • IPv6 is not supported, so please use IPv4
  • IP address or CIDR notation is supported i.e.: 192.0.2.1 203.0.113.0/24
  • You can specify multiple IP addresses by separating them with spaces
  • Each address will be on a new line when saved
  • The Maximum number of networks that can be set for Global Configuration or a single path prefix: 100
  • If you want to allow access from all IP addresses, set [Allowed Hosts/Networks] to 0.0.0.0/0.
  • If you want to deny access from all IP addresses, leave [Allowed Hosts/Networks] blank
  • You cannot deny access from all IP addresses in [Global Configuration]
