Hi I'm interested in using the Kashflow API with a Windows Azure deployment but the problem is that the IP address of this service is liable to change every now and then. Will I have to update the IP address in Kashflow every time this happens? Regards, Matthew
I think you can use the AutoAuthIP method in the API, calling it from your Azure code will place the IP Address of the host machine as seen in the HTTP/TCP header. I'm not sure if there is any way to remove old IPs though via the API. You may want to keep a record of them each time you call this API method so that you can remove them manually.
Not the most secure if his credentials were be compromised though. This kind of thinking lead to amazon and Sony assuming their customer data was safe.
As long as there are options then that's fine. Most of the time our IP address will be staying the same, but there are certain scenarios where it's not possible to keep the same address. Does the user have to pre-approve the address in the web UI if we stick with that route?
For anyone else that ends up looking into this you require the user to enter a separate code which you send to the webservice to authorise that IP address for access.
