Hi,

Is there a way to limit who has access to the knowledgebase (besides placing hesk on a local server?)? I have limited submissions to my domain name, but I would be very interested in making the KB only visible to those coming from our business IP range.

THanks

You could do this with a firewall, but the easiest way is to password protect the site with .htaccess, in the same way Klemen password protected access to this forum (but only give those in your business the login.)

htaccess is indeed a good way to go as it allows you doing this without making any changes to the HESK code.

You can also limit access to files by IP (or IP range) in htaccess without the need of passwords:

Ooooh, didn't know you could also do IP restriction with htaccess. Learn something new every day!

We use htaccess to limit accessible IP and reroute everyone else to google.com. It thoroughly confuses them!
