Security

The Security page allows you to configure the security aspects of your environment such as Basic Auth or IP Whitelist

This page is divided into two major sections.

Basic Access Authentication

To protect your environment from unauthorized access you can enable and configure Basic Auth settings on this card. This will limit access to your website to those visitors that have the correct login and password.

To add configuration for Basic Auth (login and password) click the Add button on the right side of the card, as shown below:

VSF Console Add Basic Auth

This will open a modal with inputs corresponding to values for your Basic Auth configurations such as login and password. Once you are happy with the values, press the Save button. That will close the modal and enable the Basic Auth for all incoming traffic.

VSF Console Add Basic Auth Modal

Apart from enabling the Basic Auth globally, you can also add IP addresses that will be whitelisted, which means that they will not need to provide basic login and password. To add them, click Add IP Address button, as shown below:

VSF Console Add IP Address

You can allow an IP Address to bypass Basic Auth by adding it to either the IP Whitelist. Clicking the button will open a modal that will ask you to provide the IP Address you wish to whitelist from checking the Basic Auth, as shown below:

VSF Console Basic Auth IP

A newly added IP address will be added to the Basic Access Authentication section just below the label List of IP's and can be later modified or deleted.

IP Whitelist

The IP Whitelist allows you to restrict access to the environment to only defined IP addresses. After configuring it, only the IP addresses listed here will be able to view and use the deployed environment.

To add a new IP address to the list of whitelisted IP's, click the Add IP Address button as shown below:

VSF Console Add IP Address

This will open a modal that will ask you to provide the IP Address that you want to whitelist.

VSF Console Add IP Whitelist

After adding a new IP Address, it will appear in the list as shown below:

VSF Console Added IP Address

From here, you can modify or delete that IP Address by clicking the Edit button on the right side of the IP Address element.
