Is it possible to restrict Bitbucket server to localhost AND one additional sender IP?

Question

Our Bitbucket server (v 5.9) runs currently behind a local apache (reverse proxy). All requests runs through this apache. Consequently Bitbucket server is configured to accept requests from localhost only.

We're going to add access from an external network through a firewall appliance. I wonder if it is possible to add the firewall's ip address as an additional valid requester ip to Bitbucket server's configuration.

Hello @Alexis Robert

it was too obvious and I missed the forest for the trees. ;-)

Thank you for your answer!

Hello @Marko Schröder,

if you are already running an Apache proxy, this is very easy to achieve. You can simply add a "Require <firewall.IP>" clause to your existing configuration to grant access to Bitbucket.

You can read more about this on Apache website.

Let me know if you have any questions,
