Allowed External URLs

Before you can make external http calls from the Unreal Client or Server, you must configure the access policies in the developer dashboard for your organization.

These policies allow you control if content in your organization can make external http requests, and if so what domains are those requests allowed to access. These controls allow you to prevent content from accessing unintended resources.

1. Navigate to the Developer Dashboard Settings page

1. Find the "External URLs" section

1. Choose the Access policy for both servers and clients

Policy Type	Description	Example
Do not allow content to access external urls	This is the default value. Any requests made using the Http nodes will fail	N/A
Allow content to access only URLs with specified domains	If the Http nodes attempt to use a url that matches your domain, it will be allowed. Otherwise, the requests will fail. This is the best option for you to allow external access.	If you configure the domain "mydomain.myorg.net" and a request goes to that domain, it will be honoured. If you configure ".mydomain.myorg.net", it will allow requests to that domain plus any subdomain.
Allow content to access all external URLs	Disables the filtering. This option is not recommended.	Any domain is allowed.
