To deny connections to a datasource

  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 or host name of the computer to deny (for multiple computers you can enter an IP address range), then click Add. Repeat this step to add additional computers to the Deny list.

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

  4. Click OK.

    The line Deny= is 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
    Deny=11.22.33.*
