Manage Access List

Access Lists provide Whitelist/Blacklist functionality for specific workstation IP addresses along with HTTP Basic Authentication for Proxy Hosts. Administrators can configure multiple rules, assign user/password for an access list, and then apply it to Proxy Hosts. This is useful for forwarded web services without built-in authentication mechanisms or when administrators want to protect against access from unidentified workstations.
