How can I restrict access to list of IP in Play Framework using Scala?
I'm using Play Framework 2.2.4
I found solution for Java: http://feadro.com/simple-ip-access-list-for-play-2-1-with-java/
How should I do it in Scala?
Stick the IPs you want to restrict to in the application.conf
.
myapp.ipwhitelist = ["192.168.1.1", ...]
Then make a global filter which is applied to every incoming request, something like:
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
import play.api.libs.concurrent.Execution.Implicits._
import play.api.libs.iteratee.Iteratee
import play.api.Play.current
import play.api.mvc._
object IPFilter extends EssentialFilter {
def apply(nextFilter: EssentialAction) = new EssentialAction {
def apply(requestHeader: RequestHeader) = {
// read the IPs as a Scala Seq (converting from the Java list)
val ips: Seq[String] = current.configuration.getStringList("myapp.ipwhitelist")
.map(_.asScala).getOrElse(Seq.empty)
// Check we've got an allowed IP, otherwise ignore the
// request body and immediately return a forbidden.
if (ips.contains(requestHeader.remoteAddress)) nextFilter(requestHeader)
else Iteratee.ignore[Array[Byte]]
.map(_ => Results.Forbidden(s"Bad IP! ${requestHeader.remoteAddress}"))
}
}
}
Then enable that in your application Global object:
object Global extends WithFilters(IPFilter) with GlobalSettings
If you want more flexibility you can use the same logic but with Action composition instead of a global filter.
