This support solution shows how to configure Client Access Restrictions on Bentley's hosted SELECTserver to permit use of older Bentley products that use the SELECTserver Gateway.
Bentley's hosted SELECTserver has the ability to restrict access to the license server based on an IP address for security reasons. The public IP address (i.e. IP address of the router) of any authorized locations is added to the Client Access Restrictions page. However, these rules alone will not permit access to pre-XM versions of Bentley products which utilize the SELECTserver Gateway.
Client Access Restrictions are encoded in a local license file maintained by each SELECTserver Gateway. When an incoming license request reaches the Gateway, the local IP address of the requesting workstation is compared against this list. Consequently, local IP addresses for any authorized workstations must be added to the Client Access Restrictions page on SELECTserver. While they will never be used on the hosted SELECTserver, they will be utilized by any SELECTserver Gateway.
