IP Restriction by Host Name

MED e-care is pleased to announce the introduction of its newest security feature which allows access based on a specific hostname. 

This feature is particularly useful for facilities which are using an internet service which does not provide them with a static IP address. Such users cannot implement our IP address based restriction  

Navigate to Settings> Security> IP and Hostname Restriction 

Select “Yes” and Save

Once you select yes, you can enter a host name which the user wants to exempt from restriction.

A valid hostname should fulfill the following criteria 

• The host name should be a-z or A-Z or 0-9 and hyphen (-).
• The host name should be between 1 and 63 characters long
• The host name should not start or end with a hyphen(-)  
• The last TLD (Top level domain) must be at least two characters and a maximum of 6 characters.

For example, in the image below, user has added the hostname “abc.xyz.org” as exempt from restriction

User can also add a user to be exempt from the restriction by clicking on Add User for Users Exempted from Restriction.
