Hostname-Based Access Control (in addition to IP Address Control)

Core Web AppSecurity & credentials

While IP whitelisting is a strong security feature, it lacks flexibility in dynamic or large-scale environments where IPs may change frequently (e.g., with DHCP, VPNs, or cloud-based networks). Allowing access control by hostname would offer a more adaptable solution, particularly for organizations with named internal DNS records or consistent device hostnames.

Proposed Functionality:

  1. Allow admins to define allowed hostnames in addition to IP addresses within the "IP Access Control" section.

  2. Hostnames would resolve via DNS and be checked during authentication.

    Upvoting as I was gonna create this suggestion as well. FQDNs are a much, much better option than simple IP whitelisting.
