			<title>Limit access by IP address</title>
59 brianR 24
			<para>Sometimes you&apos;ll only want to restrict access to to
25
				only
26
				specified host names or IP addresses. This way, only
27
				clients at
28
				those specified addresses can use the web services.
29
				Tomcat provides
30
				two configuration values for that:
31
				RemoteHostValve and
32
				RemoteAddrValve.</para>
33
			<para>These Valves allow you to filter requests by host name or
34
				by IP
35
				address, and to allow or deny hosts that match. The
36
				example below
37
				restricts access to the ArchiveService from any
38
				machine that is not
39
				the local host.</para>
40
			<programlisting language="xml">&lt;Context
41
				path=&quot;/XService/ArchiveService&quot;
42
				...&gt; &lt;Valve
43
				className=&quot;org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve&quot;
44
				allow=&quot;127.0.0.1&quot; deny=&quot;&quot;/&gt; &lt;/Context&gt;
45
			</programlisting>
46
			<para>If no allow pattern is given, then patterns that match
47
				the deny
48
				attribute patterns will be rejected, and all others
49
				will be allowed.
50
				Similarly, if no deny pattern is given,
51
				patterns that match the
52
				allow attribute will be allowed, and
53
				all others will be denied.
54
				</para>
55
			<para>The &lt;context&gt; element must be placed into the
56
				server.xml
57
				file (into &lt;engine&gt;&lt;host&gt;).</para>
