How to whitelist ip for web service

Hi Prasanna,

Whitelisting an IP address means allowing traffic from a specific IP address to access your web service. To do this in Windows Server 2016, you can use the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security feature.

Here are the steps to whitelist an IP address in Windows Server 2016:

1. Open the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security console. You can do this by searching for "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" in the Start menu.
2. Click on "Inbound Rules" in the left pane.
3. Click on "New Rule" in the right pane.
4. In the "New Inbound Rule Wizard", select "Custom" and click "Next".
5. In the "Custom Rule" screen, select "All Programs" and click "Next".
6. In the "Protocol and Ports" screen, select the protocol and port(s) that your web service is using and click "Next".
7. In the "Scope" screen, under "Remote IP address", select "These IP addresses" and click "Add".
8. Enter the IP address that you want to whitelist and click "OK". You can enter a single IP address or a range of IP addresses.
9. Click "Next" until you reach the "Name" screen. Give the rule a name and click "Finish".

After you have added the rule, traffic from the whitelisted IP address should be able to access your web service.

It's worth noting that whitelisting an IP address is not always the best solution for security reasons. It's possible that the client's IP address may change in the future, so you may need to update the whitelist accordingly. You may want to consider other security measures such as authentication and authorization to protect your web service.

Hello Prasanna,

Maybe your network is blocking the request from your service provider. 

First you need to get the IP address of your client and your IT support team or your network team will help you to add your client IP in whitelist.
