Block access by IP address and get report on login statistics by user and IP
10 April, 2014
Hi,
My customer asked whether there is a possibility to block access defining IP address (or range or MAC) from which a user could access.
Also is there a possibility to get a report of report usage not only by user but also by user IP/MAC?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Raimondas,
There is nothing in YF to stop a connection coming from a certain IP address, this will need to be done outside of YF.
You just need to get something that handles all YF requests, and only allows the right ones.
In terms of usage reports showing the IP address, this should be possible by including the 'SessionID' column to your usage report.
This column lives in the YF DB 'Event' table
Hope this covers everything, and please let me know if you have any other questions on this.
Regards,
David
