Valid IP Addresses - Overview

InfiniTime Software Application access can be restricted by defining Valid IP Addresses. This security feature works as follows:

  • When a user attempts to log in, their IP address is checked against two lists:
    1. Company-wide Valid IP Addresses
    2. Employee-specific Valid IP Addresses
  • Access is granted only if the user's IP address matches either list
  • If both lists are empty, access is allowed from any IP address

Important Notes

  • IP Address restrictions are separate from Security Roles
  • IP restrictions control login access, while Security Roles control actions within the software
  • An Administrator with full permissions will still be blocked if their IP address isn't authorized

Login Validation Process

  1. User must provide correct Login ID and Password
  2. System checks the user's IP against Company-wide Valid IP Addresses
    • If match found or list is empty → proceed
    • If no match → access denied
  3. System checks the user's IP against Employee-specific Valid IP Addresses
    • If match found or list is empty → access granted
    • If no match → access denied

Configuration

Company-wide IP Addresses

  1. Access the Manager Module as an Administrator
  2. Navigate to Company settings
  3. Select the Valid IP tab
  4. Add or modify IP addresses as needed

Employee-specific IP Addresses

  1. Open the Employee Table
  2. Select the employee
  3. Access their Login settings
  4. Configure IP addresses in the Employee-specific Valid IP Address section

IP Address Format

  • IP addresses consist of four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.0)
  • Each octet must be between 0 and 255
  • Example format: 192.168.1.0
