Hi..

I'd like to restrict access to /iredadmin to only the iRedMail server and certain private IPs on the server network - and block access to /iredadmin from the outside world.  How do I do this?

Thank you very much.

Method 1. Block incoming connection from the internet using firewall.
Method 2. .htaccess files 

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.0.
Allow from .localnet
Allow from admin.somewhere.in.the.net

Thanks @ Primavero....I'll need to do some more reading on Ubuntu firewall, as I don't know how to block inbound access to /iredadmin, but still allow access to /mail...any suggestions?

Unfortunately, there is no way to block access to only /iredadmin using firewall.

So you need to block it on webserver level - .htaccess or httpd conf (if you use Apache)

buy a iRedAdmin-Pro license ,you can setting :

/var/www/iredadmin/settings.py
# List of IP addresses which global admins are allowed to login from.
# e.g. ['127.0.0.1', '192.168.1.1']
# Valid formats:
#   - Single IP addess: 192.168.1.1
#   - IP range:         192.168.1.1-30
#   - Whole subnet:     192.168.1
#Pro-Version
#GLOBAL_ADMIN_IP_LIST = []
GLOBAL_ADMIN_IP_LIST = ['127.0.0.1','203.169.36.160','229.180.14.96']

PS:opensource iRedAdmin  cannot setting

Re: How To Restrict Access to iRedAdmin?

Notes:

*) The restriction done in iRedAdmin-Pro just restricts global admin, not normal domain admin.
*) Another way is, as @primavero clearly mentioned, adding ACL in web server (both Apache and Nginx can do this).
