Step-by-Step: Whitelisting a Specific Client IP for Azure SQL Database Access
Follow these steps to whitelist the IP address 157.180.81.74 for the Azure SQL server by adding it to the firewall rule IP range in the Azure portal. This will allow the application to access the database
1. Sign in to Azure Portal:
- Go to "SQL servers" or search for your SQL server name.
- Click on the actual SQL server resource (not just the individual database).
- In the left menu, click on "Networking" or "Firewalls and virtual networks".
- Under "Firewall rules", you’ll see an option like “Add client IP” or fields to specify “Start IP” and “End IP”.
- Click “Add client IP” to automatically fill in your current public IP, or manually enter your IP/range.
- Click “Save” to apply the rule.
