If You Inadvertently Deny IP Access to All Hosts

Edit online

If you select Deny by Default in Port restrictions - Allow/Deny by IP address section from Port Configure Global IP Access Settings tab, all hosts are restricted from accessing the server ports. Hence, webMethods API Gateway cannot communicate with Integration Server.

For example, if you have defined five ports and those ports are configured to use the global IP access settings. In such case, if you change the global IP access setting to Deny By default, webMethods API Gateway cannot communicate with hosts through any ports.

This section explains the steps to reset your setting and allow webMethods API Gateway to communicate with Integration Server.

To modify the global IP access settings

Log off from webMethods API Gateway.
Open the diagnostic port of the Integration Server by entering http://hostname:diagnostic port in your browser's address bar.
For example, 10.2.100.112:9999. By default, the diagnostic port is 9999.
Navigate to the Security > Ports.
The Port List appears.
Perform any of the following:
- Click Change Global IP Access Restrictions and make required changes. For more information, see Allowing Connections from Specified Hosts.
- Click Allow in the IP Access column of the required port.
Restart Integration Server.
Refresh your browser and log on to webMethods API Gateway and modify global IP access settings.
