Administrative access may be restricted by client IP. This is recommended in high security environments where administrators may connect only from known client IP addresses. By default JSCAPE MFT Server allows administrators to connect from ANY client IP address.
Figure 107
Authentication timeout - The amount of time in seconds that administrative service client may remain connected without authenticating.
Block IP after - Blocks a client IP address after X invalid authentication attempts within Y minutes.
As an improved security measure you may define what IP addresses are allowed or disallowed access to access the administrative service.
Examples of valid IP masks are as follows:
192.168.1.1 - Allows/Blocks a single IP address
192.168.1.* - Allows/Blocks all IP addresses in a class C IP block.
192.168.*.* - Allows/Blocks all IP addresses in a class B IP block.
*.*.*.* - Allows/Blocks all IP addresses.
