Wildcard Domain RestrictionIs it possible to add a wildcard for a domain name restriction?
For example, I want to restrict only users from a certain domain to access the site but they may be coming from many subdomains. Such as www1.mysite.com, www2.mysite.com, www3.mysite.com, etc. I would like to enter *.mysite.com Is this possible? The source users may have dozens of subdomains and may add them regularly and I don't want to have to keep updating the server when this happens. Tom Creating > mysite.com
or *.mysite.com in the restriction field not working ? -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ <wynne.***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:nvydnR_vWb3f2u_ZnZ2dnUVZ_sadnZ2d@giganews.com... > Is it possible to add a wildcard for a domain name restriction? > For example, I want to restrict only users from a certain domain to access > the site but they may be coming from many subdomains. > Such as www1.mysite.com, www2.mysite.com, www3.mysite.com, etc. > I would like to enter *.mysite.com > Is this possible?

It just isn't documented anywhere. It would be nice if the help or knowledge base would just say what is acceptable in a field, trial and error isn't a good way to find stuff out when you are dealing with a live web site. Mmm.. I remembered I wrote it somewhere before....
but this is supported, yet bare in mind - there will be certain overhead when IIS is try to resolve the visiting IP to domain name. -- Show quoteHide quoteRegards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ <wynne.***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:jKOdnSlaI_INnOPZnZ2dnUVZ_vydnZ2d@giganews.com... >I found out by trial and error that *.mysite.com works. > It just isn't documented anywhere.
