IP Whitelisting
IP Whitelisting is a security feature that allows you to control IP addresses that can access Ivanti Neurons for ITSM APIs. It is done using the API Trusted Host business object by which you can specify a range of trusted host IP addresses or specific host IP addresses that are allowed access to APIs.
This feature is applicable for both REST and SOAP APIs.
Enabling and Disabling IP Whitelisting
You can enable or disable the IP Whitelisting feature from the Configuration console. By default this feature is disabled.
1.Log in to the Configuration console console > Build > Global Constants.
2.To enable - set the Value field in the API_White_Listing_Enable option as True.
3.To disable - set the Value field in the API_White_Listing_Enable option as False.
If you have enabled the IP Whitelisting feature but haven't configured any API Trusted Host, then all the IP addresses will be allowed access to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM APIs.
