IP Restricted
login enables HP SMH to restrict
login access based on the IP address of
a system from which the signin is attempted.
For Linux and Windows, you can set a
restricted address at installation. From all operating systems, administrators
can set a restricted address from the IP Restricted
login page. Note the following:
If an IP address is restricted, it is restricted even
if it is also listed in the permitted box.
If IP addresses are in the permitted list, only those
IP addresses can sign in, except for localhost.
If no IP addresses are in the permitted list, sign
in access is allowed to any IP addresses not in the restricted list.
HP SMH on Windows and Linux supports
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
NOTE:
On systems operating on Windows operating system, the range
of IPv6 addresses is valid with and without brackets.
For example: Both [2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:5175]-[2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:5180]
and 2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:5175-2001:db8:c18:1:250:8bff:fee2:5180
are valid conditions on systems running on Windows operating system.
