To simplify managing the Firewall, OdataLink provides [[IP Addresses]] that are associated with users' login. | |||
Whenever you login to OdataLink, the website will check to see if your [[IP Addresses|IP Address]] is authorised. If it is not authorised, you will be prompted to update your IP address. This greatly simplify managing the Firewall for those that have dynamic IP addresses. It essentially means that you can update the Firewall simply by logging in. | |||
== Steps for Administrator == | |||
If you are an Administrator, follow these steps. | |||
# Login to OdataLink. | |||
# Choose whether to allow the single [[IP Addresses|IP Address]] or a Geo-based IP address. | |||
# Choose the '''action''' to take from the following list. | |||
:# Add a new entry for ALL users | |||
:# Add a new entry just for ME | |||
:# Update MY existing entry | |||
# Enter or select the name representing this location. | |||
# Click the '''Update Firewall''' button. | |||
== Steps for Users that already have access to manage their IP Address == | |||
# Login to OdataLink. | |||
# Click to '''Notify Admins''' and wait for the Administrators to action the request. | |||
== Steps for Users that do not have access to manage their IP Address == | |||
# Login to OdataLink. | |||
# Click to '''Notify Admins''' and wait for the Administrators to action the request. | |||
