Configuring a whitelist of IP addresses from which cookies may be sent
A whitelist specifies IP addresses or ranges from which cookies are accepted even if authentication fails.
About this task
The Web service accepts Ambient Data Framework cookies in an incoming request if at least one of the following is true:
- The request comes from an authenticated user account for which cookie forwarding is allowed.
- The request comes from an IP address that is in a whitelist of acceptable IP addresses and/or IP ranges.
If neither of these conditions is met, the cookie is ignored (but the request is not).
This topic explains how to configure the whitelist of acceptable IP addresses or IP ranges on the Web service.
