This article shows how to configure a firewall rule using the Azure portal. Firewall rules let external clients or applications connect to your Azure Blockchain Workbench database.
To connect to the database where you want to configure a rule:
- Sign in to the Azure portal with an account that has Owner permissions for the Azure Blockchain Workbench resources.
- In the left navigation pane, choose Resource groups.
- Choose the name of the resource group for your Blockchain Workbench deployment.
- Select Type to sort the list of resources, and then choose your SQL server.
- The resource list example in the following screen capture shows two databases: master and lsgn-sdk. You configure the firewall rule on lsgn-sdk.
To create a firewall rule:
-
Choose the link to the "lsgn-sdk" database.
-
On the menu bar, select Set server firewall.
-
To create a rule for your organization:
- Enter a RULE NAME
- Enter an IP address for the START IP of the address range
- Enter an IP address for the END IP of the address range
[!NOTE] If you only want to add the IP address of your computer, choose + Add client IP.
-
To save your firewall configuration, select Save.
-
Test the IP address range you configured for the database by connecting from an application or tool. For example, SQL Server Management Studio.
