Apache：限制对虚拟主机内特定源IP的访问

Question

I have several named virtual hosts on the same apache server, for one of the virtual host I need to ensure only a specific set of IP addresses are allowed to access.

Please suggest the best way to do this. I have looked at mod_authz_hosts module but it does not look like I can do it inside virtual host.

Answer 1

The mod_authz_host directives need to be inside a <Location> or <Directory> block but I've used the former within <VirtualHost> like so for Apache 2.2:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    <Location />
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    </Location>

    ...
</VirtualHost>

Answer 2

For Apache 2.4, you would use the Require IP directive . So to only allow machines from the 192.168.0.0/24 network (range 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255)

<VirtualHost *:80>
    <Location />
      Require ip 192.168.0.0/24
    </Location>
    ...
</VirtualHost>

And if you just want the localhost machine to have access, then there's a special Require local directive .

The local provider allows access to the server if any of the following conditions is true:

• the client address matches 127.0.0.0/8
• the client address is ::1
• both the client and the server address of the connection are the same

This allows a convenient way to match connections that originate from the local host:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    <Location />
      Require local
    </Location>
    ...
</VirtualHost>

Answer 3

If you are using apache 2.2 inside your virtual host you should add following directive ( mod_authz_host ):

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 10.0.0.1

You can even specify a subnet

Allow from 10.0.0

Apache 2.4 looks like a little different as configuration. Maybe better you specify which version of apache are you using.

Answer 4

In Apache 2.4, the authorization configuration syntax has changed, and the Order , Deny or Allow directives should no longer be used.

The new way to do this would be:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    <Location />
        Require ip 192.168.1.0
    </Location>
    ...
</VirtualHost>

Further examples using the new syntax can be found in the Apache documentation: Upgrading to 2.4 from 2.2
