IP Restrictions

Note: This feature is available for privileged administrators only.

PAM360 allows the privileged administrators to limit inbound connections to PAM360 server by enforcing IP-based restrictions to minimize unwanted traffic. It provides an added layer of security by letting the administrator to choose exactly which systems should be allowed to or blocked from accessing and sending requests to the PAM360 server. Allowing or restricting access can be done for an individual IP as well as a range of IP address(es).

PAM360 offers three types of IP restrictions:

  1. Web Access
  2. API Access
  3. Agent Access

1. Web Access

You can enable IP based restrictions for access to PAM360 web server. The IP restrictions can be set at various levels and combinations, such as defined IP ranges or individual IP addresses. 

To configure IP based restrictions, follow the below steps:

    • Blocked IP Address(es): This option can be used to block a specific IP address or an IP range and allow access to all other IP addresses.

    3. Note: The IP addresses must be entered in the text field as comma-separated values. E.g.: 10.0.2.1 - 10.0.2.15, 10.0.3.176, 10.0.3.222. There is no limit to the number of IP addresses that can be defined in both the fields.
