Retarus can configure multiple forms of access (Login IDs) for the Webservice that can be managed via the Retarus EAS Portal. Multiple processes can be operated concurrently by the Webservice using multiple Login IDs, making it possible to have a configuration saved for each process.

The job and report data for one Login ID are not viewable or available in the other access options, which means that a fax job’s status report can only be requested or deleted under the Login ID used to create it.

As an additional layer of security it is possible to restrict access for each Login ID to a pre-defined list of IP addresses and/or subnets (IP address allowlisting). If an account is so configured, all requests coming from IP addresses which are not on the list will be rejected. The configuration of IP address allowlisting is performed in the EAS portal.
