Carbon Black Cloud: Can the Authorized IP Addresses Field be Left Blank When Setting Up API Key Configuration?

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud Console: All Versions

Question

When creating API Keys for any applications in the Carbon Black Cloud console, is the 'Authorized IP Addresses' field required to be filled? 

Answer

  • The Authorized IP may be left blank, if it is blank, then any IP Address will be able to connect using the API Key / Connector ID. 
  • The Authorized IP Address field should only be defined for specific IP addresses accessing the API Key/Connector ID.
  • If IP Addresses are added to Authorized IP field, then logs will only be sent to the defined IP addresses.

Additional Notes

  • To see which IP addresses are accessing the API Key, try searching the Audit log using the appropriate keys.
  • The Authorized IP Addresses field will require Public IP addresses opposed to Private IP addresses.
