Does anyone have a method of restricting inbound tcp connections to specific IP addresses? I’m aware that this type of white-listing is usually done at the network/firewall level, and I know that the server (AIX in this case) has some IP filtering capabilities, but I was wondering if there are any application-level tools in Cloverleaf for this type of filtering? Thanks.

  You can’t configure a thread to automatically reject connections from the wrong IP, but you could write your own code to check the IP address. This would probably have to be done in an inbound TPS. So you would receive a message, but your code could look at the message metadata to get the source IP address before deciding to continue processing.
