Remarks
Use the <hosts> element to specify which clients are allowed or denied access to a Web service. By default, all clients are allowed access. WSE uses the following rules to determine whether a client is allowed or denied access. If the value of the default attribute of the <hosts> element is set to allow, then all clients are allowed access unless there is a listing in the <deny> element that is not overridden by a listing in the <allow> element. If the value of the default attribute of the <hosts> element is set to deny, then all clients are denied unless there is a listing in the <allow> element that is not overridden by a listing in the <deny> element. In either case, if the result is that the client should be denied access, then the incoming connection is immediately closed and no data is processed from it.
Before adding the <hosts> element to a configuration file, you must add the microsoft.web.services3 configuration section handler to the configuration file. For details about adding the microsoft.web.services3 configuration section handler, see <section> Element.
Example
The following code example specifies that all hosts are allowed access to a Web service except those with IP addresses starting with 192.168.1 and 10.10.100 with the exception of 192.168.1.1.
<configuration>
<microsoft.web.services3>
<messaging>
<transports>
<add scheme="soap.tcp">
<hosts default="allow">
<allow>192.168.1.1</allow>
<deny>192.168.1.0/24 10.10.100.0/24</deny>
</hosts>
</add>
</transports>
</messaging>
</microsoft.web.services3>
</configuration>
