* '''IP-based entries'''

: IP-based entries are those that specify a single or a range of IP ~~Addresses~~. These can be IPv4 or IPv6 based. These IP ~~Addresses~~ are static and are best used for offices whose IP ~~Addresses~~ are fixed and not dynamic. They ensure that the queries will always work from specific locations.

== Understanding how IP Addresses relate to users of OdataLink ==

In addition to the mechanisms described above, ~~entries~~ can either apply to all users of OdataLink or to a single user.

In addition to the mechanisms described above, IP addresses can either apply to all users of OdataLink or to a single user.

IP addresses associated to a single user are particularly useful. Each time a user logs into OdataLink, OdataLink checks to see if their IP address is authorised. If not, they will be prompted to update their associated IP ~~Address~~. This greatly simplify managing the Firewall for those that have dynamic IP ~~Addresses~~.

IP addresses associated to a single user are particularly useful. Each time a user logs into OdataLink, OdataLink checks to see if their IP address is authorised. If it is not authorised, they will be prompted to update their associated IP address. This greatly simplify managing the Firewall for those that have dynamic IP addresses.
