How to Set the IP Restriction for Admin Pages in Exploratory Server.

This document explains how you can set the IP restriction for Admin pages in Exploratory Server. By setting it, you can limit the access to the Admin pages only from the specified IP addresses.

This feature is available in Exploratory Server version 10 and above.

1. Add the IP white list in the docker-compose.yml

Suppose if you want to limit the access to the Admin pages only from the IP addresses '111.111.111.111' and IP address range '222.222.222.0/24', you can add the following line in the "exploratory" section in the “docker-compose.yml” file.

   - EXPL_IP_WHITELIST_FOR_ADMIN="['111.111.111.111','222.222.222.0/24']"

The example of the "exploratory" section of the docker-compose.yml is the following.

  exploratory:
    image: exploratory:10.0.8
    environment:
      - EXPL_IP_WHITELIST_FOR_ADMIN="['111.111.111.111','222.222.222.0/24']"      
               :
               :
         (Other configurations)
               :
               :

2. Restart Exploratory Server

Once you finish updating the configuration files, restart the Exploratory Server to make the change effective.
