The Whitelist is a simple list of IPv4 IP addresses that are allowed to connect to this instance when it is operating as a publisher or subscriber listener.
The Whitelist is generally more useful than the Blacklist because it avoids hacking attempts if a hacker finds the port used by ELS.
The Whitelist, if defined, is evaluated first, then the Blacklist if defined. The check is performed when a incoming connection is made but before the authentication handshake is attempted between the systems. If the check fails the socket is summarily closed and the occurrence is logged.
Note:This option must be defined on the command line with the
-I | --ip-whitelist [file]option or in a listener Operation for them to be used. These Navigator dialogs only edit the files.
Examples:
10.50.100.10
10.50.100.20
