Importance of Configuring 127.0.0.1 in IP Access Control in senhasegura

In senhasegura, when configuring IP Access Control, in case of settings by “Deny All” it is essential to include the address 127.0.0.1, localhost, in the list of allowed IPs. This step is critical to ensure that the system works correctly.

Reasons for Including localhost (127.0.0.1):

  1. Internal Access:
  • senhasegura performs certain operations internally, accessing resources through localhost. This type of configuration is necessary for the system to manage proxies and other services effectively.
  1. Remote Sessions:
  • If 127.0.0.1 is not in the list of allowed IPs, senhasegura will not be able to establish remote sessions on the devices. This is because part of the connection process uses localhost for internal communications.

Access Control Settings in senhasegura:

  • Access Modes:

    • Access control can be configured in several ways, including allowing all IPs (allow all), which by default grants access to everyone, except those explicitly denied. Alternatively, a deny all rule can be defined, where only specified IPs are allowed.
  • Deny All Configuration:

    • If the established policy is deny all (deny access to all), it is essential to explicitly add the IP 127.0.0.1 to the allow list so that senhasegura continues to operate correctly with its remote session capabilities.
