Re: [p4] Restricting access from a proxy.

Posted on behalf of forum user 'briand'.

I contacted support, but didn't end up with any useful help.

After spending even more time going over the documentation again, it finally
dawned on me what my problem was. I was trying to restrict access based on the
IP address of the proxy, but Perforce only allows you to restrict access if the
client is using a proxy (any proxy). Take a look at the IP address I listed in
the protect table rules and match it up with the addresses in the log line. The
protect table rules mentions the proxy's IP address, not the client's.
If I changed the IP address in the protect table to be the client address,
things worked as expected.

In the end, I concluded that the Perforce protection mechanism would not allow
me to configure protections the way I needed, so I resorted to layers of
firewall rules to mask the client IP address (setting it to a predetermined
value). This allowed me to write protection rules to accomplish what I needed.
