Description

Description:
Multiple IP address for the property bw.plugin.http.server.allowIPAddresses=ip1,ip2 does not work.
Symptoms:
If you have specified bw.plugin.http.server.allowIPAddresses=ip1,ip2 in the application TRA , when the client tries to connect to the server, it fails with HTTP 403 that is rejecting the connection to the server for all the clients.
Cause:
The same property works for BW 5.8,5.9 and 5.10 but fails for BW 5.11. We have filed a defect BW-15764 to find the root cause. No release date has been announced as of this writing.

Resolution

Currently the defect BW-15764 is reported with an example to reproduce the issue. Until fixed the issue, the following workaround is in place.

Use the regular expression in place of "comma separated ip lists" to overcome the issue.

Example:

bw.plugin.http.server.allowIPAddresses=10\.xxx\.xxx\.xx|10\.xxx\.xxx\.xx|10\.xxx\.xxx\.xx\

OR

bw.plugin.http.server.allowIPAddresses=10.222.222.53|10.222.222.54|10.222.222.55

The above workaround is to use te regular expression where you can specify multiple IP addresses.
