Trusted hosts

If you are using local user authentication, you can add the Trusted Hosts capability as an added level of security. You can apply the Trusted Hosts capability as a global feature. Optionally, you can add per-customer allowlists.

If you enable Trusted Hosts as a global setting, the system enforces a configurable blocklist and configurable allowlist for all admin and customer users.

You can also enable Trusted Hosts as a customer setting. The system creates an allowlist of trusted hosts for the customer users. The default entry in the allowlist is to allow all users, so you need to delete this entry to create a real allowlist.

For a customer with Trusted Hosts enabled, the system also enforces the global blocklist and allowlist for the customer users.
