For the ones who want to give it a try:
The smpplogins.txt is now as follows (but backward compatible): My-id My-password My-system-type allowed-ips Like: Joe secret joesbox 192.168.0.1 If the last ip address is omitted, then everybody is allowed to connect. If the last ip address is given, then only that ip address is allowed to connect. Works exactly like connect-allow-ip and connect-deny-ip. The latter has a mask of "*.*.*.*". == Rene From: ishagh ouldbah [mailto:ishagh...@yahoo.com] Sent: woensdag 7 juli 2010 14:34 To: Rene Kluwen Subject: RE: smpp restrict connection to a specific client Thanks all Rene, what is the syntax of smpplogins.txt when adding ip address Regards --- On Tue, 7/6/10, Rene Kluwen <rene.klu...@chimit.nl> wrote: From: Rene Kluwen <rene.klu...@chimit.nl> Subject: RE: smpp restrict connection to a specific client To: "'Rene Kluwen'" <rene.klu...@chimit.nl>, "'Nikos Balkanas'" <nbalka...@gmail.com>, "'ishagh ouldbah'" <ishagh...@yahoo.com>, users@kannel.org Date: Tuesday, July 6, 2010, 5:59 PM Also it will allow ip connections on a per-user level. Something that cannot be done with external firewall hardware or software. -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@kannel.org [mailto:users-boun...@kannel.org] On Behalf Of Rene Kluwen Sent: woensdag 7 juli 2010 2:23 To: 'Nikos Balkanas'; 'ishagh ouldbah'; users@kannel.org Subject: RE: smpp restrict connection to a specific client I agree that this kind of stuff is better arranged by real firewall software. But in Kannel we have connect-allow-ip c.s. right? So I don't see it is contrary to Kannel philosophy. == Rene -----Original Message----- From: Nikos Balkanas [mailto:nbalka...@gmail.com] Sent: woensdag 7 juli 2010 1:56 To: Rene Kluwen; 'ishagh ouldbah'; users@kannel.org Subject: Re: smpp restrict connection to a specific client I wouldn't recommend it. It is contrary to kannel philosophy (vis a vis sendsms-user). Besides there is better external software for this and anyone concerned about that level of security, already has a dedicated firewall installed.
