Hi

I am having an issue with adding admin tools to a customer's site where they are having problems logging in via 2 of their own ip addresses.
They don't appear to be currently blocked whilst have been temporarily before now.

The query is I think I understand the functioning of the whitelist as in if enabled, ONLY ip addresses listed will be able to log in to administrator.

At the moment I don't want to enable that level of lock down but would like to have a few ip addresses on a whitelist where they will not be blocked, whilst having normal function of auto blocking for any other ip addresses.

Is there a setting to do this ?

I've looked in the documents and done a search but all I've found seem to be just discussing the function of the ONLY ip addresses on the whitelist function and not the above requirement

regards

Ian Nelson

The IP Whitelist is a list of addresses which can log into the site. By definition it's an inclusive list. As a side-effect they are also never blocked but not being blocked is NOT the primary functionality of the whitelist.

What you are looking for is the "Never block these IP addresses" setting in the Configure WAF page.
