IP based Access Control Lists (ACL)

Purpose of IP based ACLs

You do not want to publish every content to the internet public. Certain content such as software licensing information should stay within your organisation's boudaries. IP based ACLs allow you to restrict visibility of Typo3 pages to visitors originating from the desired IP subnet.

The effects of an active IP ACL

Pages protected by IP ACLs have these effects on visitors:

  • visitors from outside the protected IP subnet will not see the protected page neither as a navigation link nor as a page
  • visitors from inside the protected IP subnet will see the protected page
  • IP ACL protection is not inherited to sub pages of the protected page

How to create a new IP ACL

As a Typo3 editor you cannot create new IP ACLs. Please write an email to support@ee.ethz.ch and name the subnet you wish to restrict access to.

How to use an existing IP ACL to protect a web page

Choose the page you want to protect and hit the yellow edit pen.
