IP address for SSO application

[Raihan Shahzad 1208205]

Hi,

 

I am in process to apply for SSO on West Asia Division website https://vatwa.net therefore, on the application form IP Address is required, my question is that IP address should be a dedicated IP address for website or it can be a shared IP address provided by web host?

 

On a side note i have already taken dedicated IP address and SSL; however, after installation of SSL the dedicated IP address is not reflecting to the domain as it is supposed to be. Web host is already looking into the matter.

 

Any input on this will be appreciated, thanks

A problem that a number of admins have encountered is that their outbound server IP is unexpectedly different from the inbound IP, particularly on servers with shared hosted. Could you check the IP please by running this bit of PHP on your server:

<?php
curl_exec(curl_init('https://cert.vatsim.net/sso/test.php'));

 

This might help - was quoted from a thread I had before viewtopic.php?f=134&t=72664

thanks Michael for your reply, i have run the code to get the IP address which is different than the one given to me by my web host; calling either through browser are not redirecting me to the main website.

 

However, my question remain same that if i need a dedicated IP address or shared IP will work too with SSO?

Hi,

 

IP address saved for SSO is working perfectly i.e. redirecting to vatwa.net (160.153.161.86) however, calling the SSO login through browser giving this error.

 

An error occurred

 

Error message: IP not approved for this consumer

 

checked the outgoing IP of site which is showing different IP address while calling this script

 

curl_exec(curl_init('https://cert.vatsim.net/sso/test.php'));

 

188.121.43.20Array ( )

 

Do i need to submit this outgoing IP also for SSO or there is something else i am missing here? Possible help will be appreciated!

The outgoing (server IP address - 188.121.43.20) must be authorized. If you used ping to get that IP address for vatwa.net, it's not guaranteed to be the server's IP address.
