Whitelist functionality allows to specify xml-file with list of IP with allowed/denied commands. To pass whitelist file to WebDriver need to use "white-list" server option(WD Server switches)

-white-list=/path/to/whitelist.xml

If no whitelist xml-file defined then all commands for all IP is allowed.

Example of whitelist.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hosts>
    <host ip="10.32.191.8"/>
    <host ip="192.27.27.7">
        <deny url="/session/*/window/*" method="*"/>
        <deny url="/session/*/click" method="POST"/>
    </host>
    <host ip="192.34.191.7">
        <allow url="/status" method="GET" />
    </host>
</hosts>

*In this example:

- if nothing is specified (10.32.191.8) all command is allowed for that IP;
- if "allow" node is specified only these commands is allowed, other disallowed;
- if "deny" node is specified this command will be disallowed, all other allowed;
- if there will be "allow" and "deny" nodes for one IP, only "deny" will have effect, all other will be allowed;
- for all other IP all commands will be disallowed;

To allow some command for any IP wildcard should be used:

<host ip="*">
    <allow url="/status" method="GET" />
</host>

There is xsd file to validate/generate whitelist.xml
