To allow connections from a computer that is in the denied IP range

  1. Open the Datasource Properties dialog to the Security tab.
  2. Set Select security type to Client connections.
  3. In the Deny field, type the IP address range you want to deny, then click Add.
  4. In the Allow field, type the IP address or host name of the computer in the denied range that you want to allow, then click Add.

    Note: You can use an asterisk (*) as a wild card option in your IP address. For example, Allow 11.22.33.44 and Deny 11.22.33.*.

    You can also use CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation to specify a range of addresses. For example, use 10.19.0.0/16 to match any addresses beginning with 10.19.

  5. Click OK.

    The lines Allow= and Deny= are appended to the datasource-specific settings section in the ProjectWise Integration Server's dmskrnl.cfg file. For example: 

    [db0]
    Description=projectwise
    DisplayName=projectwise
    InterfaceType=ODBC
    Name=pw1
    Type=Microsoft SQL Server
    DBUserName=admin
    DBUserPassword=000155d20001886b0000a431
    DBUsrPwdDecrypt=1
    Allow=11.22.33.44
    Deny=11.22.33.*
