Is it possible to configure a location in Web.config to allow only local connections

advertisements

I've got a page in an ASP.Net app (its Mvc actually but not important) and I would like to only allow connections to this page from the local machine. I would love to do something like this in Web.config:

<location path="resources"><system.web><authorization><allow ips="local"/></authorization></system.web></location>

I know this is possible with a simple check in the page code behind (or controller) and its even possible just with IIS configuration but I would love a Web.config config as this would be the most elegant solution in my opinion. Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

Guido

You can ask IIS to restrict access to a resource by IP address from within the Web.config:

<location path="resources">
  <system.webServer>
    <security>
      <ipSecurity allowUnlisted="false">
        <clear/>
        <add ipAddress="127.0.0.1"/>
      </ipSecurity>
    </security>
  </system.webServer>
</location>

EDIT: As Mike pointed it out in the comment below, this requires the IP and Domain Restrictions module to be installed. Thanks Mike!
