AnalyticDB:Configure a whitelist

Before you begin

Before you configure a whitelist for an AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL instance, you must obtain your client's IP address. The method varies depending on the location of your client.

Procedure

1. Log on to the AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL console.
2. In the upper-left corner of the console, select a region.
3. Find the instance that you want to manage and click the instance ID.

4. In the left-side navigation pane, click Security Controls.

5. On the Security Controls page, perform the following operations:

   • Create a whitelist group

     1. Click Create Whitelist.

     2. In the Create Whitelist dialog box, configure the following parameters.

        Parameter	Description
        Whitelist Name	The name of the new whitelist group. The name must meet the following requirements: It must consist of lowercase letters, digits, or underscores (_). It must start with a lowercase letter and end with a lowercase letter or a digit. The name must be 2 to 32 characters in length.
        IP Addresses	The IP addresses to add to the whitelist. Note the following: Separate multiple IP addresses with commas (,). Duplicate IP addresses are not allowed. You can add a maximum of 999 IP addresses. You can use IP addresses in the 10.23.12.24 format and CIDR blocks in the 10.23.12.24/24 format. CIDR stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing. In CIDR mode, /24 specifies the length of the address prefix. The prefix length can be an integer from 1 to 32. Setting the prefix length to 0, such as in 0.0.0.0/0 or 127.0.0.1/0, allows access from any IP address. This poses a high security risk. Proceed with caution. 127.0.0.1 denies access from all external IP addresses.

     3. Click OK.

   • Modify the IP addresses in a whitelist group

     1. Find the target whitelist group and click Modify in the Actions column.

     2. In the IP Addresses field, add or delete IP addresses or CIDR blocks.

        Note

        You cannot modify the Whitelist Name.

     3. Click OK.

   • Delete a whitelist group

     Note

     You cannot delete the default whitelist group.

     1. Find the target whitelist group and click Delete in the Actions column.

     2. In the Delete Whitelist dialog box, click OK.

   • Clear the default whitelist group

     1. For the default whitelist group, click Clear in the Actions column.

     2. In the Clear Whitelist dialog box, click OK to clear the default whitelist group.

        After you clear the default whitelist group, only 127.0.0.1 remains.
