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 protected by IP ACLs have these effects on visitors:
- visitors from outside the protected IP subnet will not see the protected page
- visitors from inside the protected IP subnet will see the protected page
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.
Click on the Access tab.
In Access scroll down the Items textbox until you see the IP ACL in question. Once you click on the item it will appear in the box left of the Items textbox. Save the new settings by clicking on the Disk left of the yellow edit pen.
