Defining IP address restrictions to a user profile, denies the user from logging in an undesignated IP address, unless from the specified IP address.
To set IP addresses to a user profile:
Click Edit, under Action, as shown below. The edit Login IP Ranges screen is displayed.
Note: You can also create a new IP Login Range by clicking New.
Enter a valid IP address in the IP Start Address field, and a higher IP address in the End IP Address field.
The start and end addresses define the range of allowable IP addresses from which the profile user can log in.
For example, enter 125.12.3.0 as the start address and the end address to allow log ins from only that IP address.
The start and end IP addresses must not include more than 33,554,432 addresses (225).
For example, the following ranges are valid:
o 0.0.0.0 to 1.255.255.255
o 132.0.0.0 to 132.255.255.255
o 132.0.0.0 to 133.255.255.255
However, ranges like 0.0.0.0 to 2.255.255.255 or 132.0.0.0 to 134.0.0.0 are too large.
Note: If you want to allow log ins from a single IP address, enter the same address in both fields.
Click Save.
