When configuring an Allowlist or Denylist rule based on an IP address, use the IP address attribute that matches the data submitted in your evaluation.
1. Confirm the IP address attribute is available
First, check the Allowlist or Denylist tag in your workflow to confirm that it uses one or both of these attributes:
IPv4 address
IPv6 address
If the required attribute is not available, update the workflow before configuring the list rule. For instructions, see Updating Tags Within Your Workflow.
2. Identify the IP address format
Review the raw response from an evaluation and locate the IP address in the supplied data. The format of the address determines which attribute to use:
IPv4 addresses use four decimal numbers separated by periods, such as
192.0.2.1.IPv6 addresses use hexadecimal characters separated by colons, such as
2001:db8::1.
3. Configure the Allowlist or Denylist tag
Under the Allowlist or Denylist tag, select the attribute that matches the IP address format in your evaluation data.
You can configure either attribute or both:
Use the IPv4 attribute for IPv4 addresses.
Use the IPv6 attribute for IPv6 addresses.
Use both attributes when your workflows may receive either address format.
IPv4 and IPv6 are different network address formats. Selecting the correct attribute ensures that the submitted IP address is evaluated against the appropriate list.
