Allow / Deny IP Address via Web.config
-
Hi, My host server is : windows server 2003 and IIS6. How can i block an Ip Address or allow in webconfig? I have seen this code but not used for IIS6. <location path="Default Web Site"> <system.webServer> <security> <ipSecurity> <add ipAddress="192.168.100.1" /> <add ipAddress="169.254.0.0" subnetMask="255.255.0.0" /> </ipSecurity> </security> </system.webServer> </location>

You can't. IIS6 stores its configuration in the metabase, and doesn't use the
web.configfile at all. The only way you could possibly make this work would be to write a custom module, and add a wildcard mapping[^] so that every request to the server goes through the ASP.NET pipeline. This would probably have a detrimental effect on the performance of your site. Windows Server 2003 is out of mainstream support, and reaches end-of-life by July 2015[^]. You should really be looking to upgrade you server ASAP.

HI you can do as you want with the help of IIS7. Some simple step follow and deny any IP address. for more information check this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730889.aspx[^] and one more link this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6812324/iis7-question-about-blocking-all-ip-addresses-from-accesing-my-site[^]
