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 address subnets.

The effects of an active IP ACL

Pages restricted by IP ACLs have these effects on visitors:

  • visitors from outside the restricted IP subnet will not see the protected page neither as a navigational link nor as page
  • visitors from inside the restricted IP subnet will see page and navigational link

Articles (page content) restricted by IP ACLs have these effects on visitors:

  • visitors from outside the restricted IP subnet will see the navigational link to the page but not the restricted article
  • visitors from inside the restricted IP subnet will see contents and navigational link

Please note that

  • IP ACL access restriction 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.
