Is it possible to get the remote user's IP address from the HTTP Header using the REST adapter? I tried mapping the HTTP Message "Headers" root to an input parameter just to see what I got, and it doesn't contain an IP address. Any secret tricks?
sorry, gave wrong info!
Bump! Still unanswered. Trying to get the user's IP address for IP authentication to a REST service. I'm thinking I'm going to have to do the authentication in a separate WebSpeed service at a this point.
Are you asking about how your application code can filter IP addresses or using the web server's filters?
I want to get the user's IP address in the business entity like you can in Webspeed using REMOTE_ADDR . It is to authenticate, not to filter.
Thanks,
Gerry
The REST service does not currently expose the client's socket address to the ABL application code. We do support mapping 'Servlet Context - servlet request' information to an input parameter. The servlet request information contains a number of informational fields such as sessionId, RemoteUser, URL paths, etc. But no client IP Address, which has to originate from the web server's network connector.

Thanks. Post answered, though I don't see a button or menu choice anywhere to mark it answered.....
