To securely configure Intermapper RemoteAccess, you must restrict how clients connect to your main server console by hardening network access, enforcing strong user authentication, and leveraging the built-in firewall rules. By default, Intermapper refuses all remote connections from non-localhost (non-127.0.0.1) addresses to maintain maximum out-of-the-box security.
The primary steps to open up and securely lock down Intermapper RemoteAccess involve the following configurations: 1. Enforce IP-Based Firewall Restrictions
You can control exactly which workstations can connect to your server using the Intermapper server’s internal firewall rules.
Navigate to Settings: Open the Server Settings window from your Intermapper console and select Remote Server from the left pane.
Define Allowed IPs: Click the Plus (+) icon to add explicit IP addresses or specific subnets (e.g., your corporate VPN range) that are allowed to request access.
Block the Rest: Ensure you do not use the catch-all wildcard (...) in your final configuration, as this permits connection attempts from any IP address worldwide. 2. Harden User Authentication and Access Controls
Relying only on IP rules is insufficient; you must secure who can log in. Intermapper Remote Access – Fortra
