Manage IP Checks

In FileCloud Server, the IP address used when an administrator or user requests data is checked against the IP stored on the session.

• This means that the session is invalidated if the user IP address changes (the user is automatically logged out).
• For some environments, the IP address change is common and expected.

Now there is a setting labeled Disable IP Check that allows an administrator to control this behavior.

• Enable the setting to disable the IP check on every request. This allows you to avoid IP comparison on cookies.
• The use of this option is only recommended if your IP address can change while using the system.

To configure this option:

1. In the FileCloud admin portal's left navigation bar, scroll down and click Settings. Then, on the Settings navigation page, click Misc 

   

   .
   By default, General settings are opened.
2. Scroll down to the Disable IP Check checkbox, and enable it.
   

   

   
   
3. Click Save.
