Enable Trusted IP Address Settings

You can enable trusted IP address settings to only allow users/public APIs to access IBM® Storage Protect for Cloud from certain IP addresses or IP address ranges.

Complete the following steps to enable trusted IP address settings:

1. Navigate to Administration > Security on the left pane.
2. On the Security page, click Trusted IP address settings.
3. The Trusted IP address settings pane appears on the right of the page.
   • Enable the settings for users – Turn on this toggle and configure the following settings:
     • Trusted IP address range for users for users – Enter your trusted IP address in this text box. If you want to enter multiple IP addresses, separate them with a comma (,).
     • User scope of the IP whitelisting – The default scope is All user types. If you want to apply the configured IP whitelisting to local users only, select the Only local uses option.
   • Enable the settings for public APIs – Turn on this toggle and enter your trusted IP address range in the Trusted IP address range for public APIs text box. If you want to enter multiple IP addresses, separate them with a comma (,).
     Note: The trusted IP address range limits the public APIs which have been added to app profiles registered in IBM Storage Protect for Cloud > Administration > App registrations. Due to the cache on the Microsoft identity server, it will take up to 15 minutes for the changes on the trusted IP settings to take effect.
4. Click Save to save your configurations, or click Cancel to go back to the Security page without saving any configurations.
