# ProxyClients

The `ProxyClients` parameter specifies the IP addresses or host names for proxy clients that are permitted to send actions to the ACI server. Separate multiple addresses with a comma. There must be no space before or after a comma.

When an action is received, if the client address does not appear in any valid authorization roles (see Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters), but it does appear in the `ProxyClients` parameter, the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header is processed. The header is then used to determine whether the action was forwarded from an authorized client by a trusted Proxy.

If you use a chain of load balancer or proxy components, you must add each IP address to the list in `ProxyClients`.

The server rejects any request that comes from one of the `ProxyClients` IP addresses, but that does not contain an X-Forwarded-For HTTP Header that corresponds to an authorized client.

You can use wildcards in the IP addresses. For example, type `187.*.*.*` to specify any machine with an IP address that begins with 187. You can also filter the `ProxyClients` parameter using CIDR notation.

Type: | String
Default: | `*.*.*.*`
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Server
Example: | A load balancer with IP address 12.34.56.78 forwards query actions from an application server host with IP address 12.34.56.89. For this setup, the configuration is:
    [Server]
    ProxyClients=12.34.56.78

    [AuthorizationRoles]
    0=QueryRole

    [QueryRole]
    StandardRoles=Query
    Clients=12.34.56.89
