Access List for API

 

Information

 

Summary:

This article will cover how to limit the IPs that are able to contact the LoadMaster's administrative API.

Environment:

Product: LoadMaster

Version: Any

Platform: Any

Application: Any

Question/Problem Description:

How can we limit the IPs that are able to contact the API?

Steps to Reproduce:  
Error Message:  
Defect Number:  
Enhancement Number:  
Cause:  
Resolution: At this point, there is no way to configure an API-specific access list.
Workaround:

The access list would need to be configured elsewhere in the environment, however, the default port of the API is 443, which is shared by the LoadMaster's web UI.

It's possible to modify the port the LoadMaster's API uses within Certificates & Security > Remote Access > Enable API Interface > Port > Set Port. Elsewhere in the environment, the ACL can be based off a destination port so the web UI and API ports don't over lap.
