This section is specific to DriveWorks 23 onwards, for earlier DriveWorks versions please see DriveWorks Pro Server.

Trust Zones

Trust Zones add extra control over access to Pro Server and DriveWorks Login, beyond the required Firewall settings.

We advise working with your IT Administrator/Department to set these up.

Pro Server has default Locations and Zones to ensure that Pro Server can be accessed without having to alter any Trust Zones.

DriveWorks Pro Server Trust Zones supports both IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR IP Ranges

When you know the IP Address or Range it is assigned to a Location. You can add multiple Addresses or Ranges if required.

Once the Location is setup, it can be Mapped to a Zone. The Zone determines the access to DriveWorks Pro Server and DriveWorks Login.

Locations

Add/Edit Location: Name of the Location, as it will appear in the list.

Delete Location: Deletes the Location from Pro Server.

Add IP Range: Adds the CIDR IP Range to the selected Location.

Remove IP Range: Removes the selected CIDR IP Range from the selected Location.

Zones

Add/Edit Zone: Configures what users in this Zone have access to.

  • Zone Name: Name of the Zone, as it will appear in the list.
  • Allow Web Access: Allows users in this Zone to access the DriveWorks Pro Server Web Application.
  • Allow DriveWorks Login: Allows users in this zone to log in to Groups in DriveWorks Modules.

Map Location to Zone: Maps the selected location to this zone.

Unmap Location: Unmaps the selected location from this zone.

Default Zones and Locations

Pro Server has three locations and two zones set up by default.

Locations:

  • Local Addresses - The loopback addresses on your machine.
  • Local Private - The private addresses picked from the network interfaces on your machine.
  • Local Public - Any IP addresses found from your network interfaces that aren't in the previous categories. This is likely to be empty unless you manually assign an IP address to your network adapter.

Zones:

  • Local Connections - Mapped to the Local Addresses Location. This cannot be edited as it ensures you always have access to Pro Server on the machine it's installed on through localhost.
  • Trusted - Mapped to the Local Private Addresses Location. This allows access to Pro Server and DriveWorks Logins over private IP addresses. This zone can be modified or deleted if required.
