Excerpt

I wanted to setup a confluence for me and some limited organization, but confluence does not have that feature at the moment, and I was able to make it by modifying server.xml.


In that case, you You can allow access to only certain IP Addresses by adding following line in server.xml:

Code Block
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127.0.0.1,|192.168.0.1,192.168.50.*" 10.*|116.112.149.2"/>


The list of allowed IP addresses is a comma '|' seperated list. Wildcards are permitted in the list of IP addresses. Any IP which isn't included in this list will no longer be able to access Confluence.

...

Code Block
<Server port="8000" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
    <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone">
        <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8090" minProcessors="5"
                   maxProcessors="75"
                   enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
                   useURIValidationHack="false" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
        <Engine name="Standalone" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0">
            <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false" startStopThreads="4">
                <Context path="" docBase="../confluence" debug="0" reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">
                    <!-- Logging configuration for Confluence is specified in confluence/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties -->
                    <Manager pathname=""/>
                    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve" threshold="60"/>
                </Context>
                <Context path="${confluence.context.path}/synchrony-proxy" docBase="../synchrony-proxy" debug="0"
                         reloadable="false" useHttpOnly="true">
                    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.StuckThreadDetectionValve" threshold="60"/>
                </Context>
                <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127.0.0.1,|192.168.0.1,192.168.50.*" 10.*|116.112.149.2"/>
            </Host>
        </Engine>
    </Service>
</Server>

Note

  • If you're clients are using DHCP, your Confluence might be inaccessible due to the changes in the IP Address.
