IP address validation may be enabled for one or more products. The install parameters and corresponding products are:

  • IPEAM: browser logons, plus the following connector logons: analytics, barcode, gis, msproject, crystal

  • IPCONN: connector and advanced wireless logons

  • IPMOB: mobile logons

  • IPDBR: databridge logons

By default IP address validation is disabled and the values of these parameters are empty.

To enable IP validation set the value of the appropriate install parameter to one of the following values:

  • IP:RAW

  • HTTP:<httpheadername>

When the install parameter value is set to ‘IP:RAW’, the server reads the client’s actual IP address.

If a proxy server resides between the clients and the EAM server, reading the actual IP address from the request may not be appropriate. In such cases the install parameter may be set to "HTTP:" followed by the name of an http header containing the IP address to use when validating the client’s location. The proxy server must be configured to insert the client’s IP address in to the appropriate http header. This must be done for every request to the server. For example, HTTP:clientaddr
