Control Center administration
You access the Control Center via a Web browser. By default anyone with the
correct address and logon information has access from any host. You can choose
to limit host access to the Control Center. Users attempting to log into the Control
Center from unauthorized computers will see a 403 Forbidden page in their Web
browser. Reverse Domain Name Server (DNS) lookup must be enabled in your
DNS software for this feature to work with host names.
When entering host names, there is a possibility that a name can be entered
incorrectly. If it is the only name on the list, you have effectively blocked all access
to the Control Center. See the procedure below for help in resolving this situation.
