IP, Device, Location and Time Restriction for Dropbox


How can IP Restriction restrict access to Dropbox to our company offices?

miniOrange allows you to use IP Restriction policy to provide or deny access to the users based on trusted IP Addresses.

  • For the IP Restriction to work, the Admin must create a policy specifying permitted IP addresses which allows the access to the application.
  • Miniorange supports IP addresses range in three formats i.e. IPv4, IPv4 CIDR and IPv6 CIDR.
  • To block the access, Admin must specify an action which needs to be performed when a user tries to login from a non trusted IP address (Such as Deny or Challenge the user with 2FA).
  • Once the restriction policy is configured, it can be applied to any application’s login policy to enable IP restriction for that application

How can Device Restriction restrict access to Dropbox to our corporate devices?

miniOrange allows you to restrict use of your application only within intranet ( office premises ) and blocks user access from outside the network. Additionally you can keep access open for some users from outside the network by creating different groups for them.

  • In this restriction method admin allows end-users to add a fixed number of devices as trusted devices for their account.Once a device is registered for a user, that user’s device becomes the trusted device and he will be allowed to login without any restriction.
  • When a user initiates the login process for an application for which Device Restriction is enabled, the attributes related to the user's browser session are captured for evaluations.
  • Based on these attributes, the miniOrange Adaptive Engine checks and evaluates the decision for that particular user. (i.e Allow, Deny or Challenge with 2FA).
  • Based on the decision calculated, the user is redirected to the appropriate action. (i.e Allowed to login if the decision is allow, denied to login if decision is deny or challenged with 2FA if the decision is challenge)

How can Location Restriction restrict access to Atlassian Jira Cloud to our corporate devices?

miniOrange allows you to restrict the use of your application only within a particular range or locatiion. Users outside of that location are not allowed to access the applications.

  • Aside from IP and Device, another helpful restriction type is location based restriction. A lot of applications require there to be fine-tuned control over which applications need to be granted access based on the location of the user trying to gain access. Here, miniOrange’s Location-based restriction can easily be set up to scan a user’s access location and enable / disable access accordingly. It can be set up to an accuracy of a few kilometers, and you can have the option to grant access or deny access based on this location data.
  • The admin shortlists and configures a list of Geo-locations where they want to allow end-users to either login or deny based on the location set by the admin. When a user tries to login with adaptive authentication enabled, his location attributes such as (Latitude, Longitude, and Country Code) are verified against the Location list configured by the admin, and based on this user will be either allowed, challenged, or denied.

How can Time Restriction restrict access to Atlassian Jira Cloud to our corporate devices?

miniOrange allows you to restrict the use of your application only within a particular time range. Users outside of that location are not allowed to access the applications.

  • miniOrange’s Adaptive Engine also offers time-based restriction as one of the methods for Adaptive Authentication. Here, there can be extremely detailed control on the timeframe over which access to your Google Workspace is to be granted or denied for all of your users. miniOrange’s latest Adaptive tech helps you set the days as well as hours in which access is to be controlled, wherein a user can be granted access only within working hours and denied access before as well as after. Time-based restriction is a must have feature when it comes to securing and managing employee working.
  • The admin configures a time zone with Start and End Time. Users are either permitted, refused, or challenged based on the timezone and policies defined. When an end-user tries to log in with adaptive authentication enabled, his time zone-related parameters, such as time zone and current system time, are checked against the list defined by the admin, and the user is either permitted, rejected, or challenged, depending on the configuration.

Connect with External Source of Users


miniOrange provides user authentication from various external sources, which can be Directories (like ADFS, Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP, AWS etc), Identity Providers (like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, AWS), and many more. You can configure your existing directory/user store or add users in miniOrange.
