XMAP Database Whitelist

Whitelisting Database Access

Overview

If you have a dedicated database connected to XMAP, it is not accessible unless you are operating over a connected network or a whitelisted IP address. It's possible to allow temporary access to IP addresses. This access is automatically revoked at midnight UTC.

Granting Access

Navigate to the XMAP Admin Panel. In the sidebar click My Organisation → Database Access.
From here you can:
  1. Grant access to your (or another) IP address
  2. View current grants
  3. Remove grants
To grant your current IP, click the 'Grant' button. Alternatively, select 'Use a different IP' and enter an IP address. The address will be added as a single address (with /32 CIDR notation) automatically.

Removing Access

Access for all temporary grants is removed at midnight UTC. Alternatively, click the 'Clear All' button to remove all grants immediately.
