The Difference Between Blocklist and Allowlist
Okta Identity Engine
Administration
Overview

Although Okta allows blocklisting of Dynamic Zones and allowlisting IPs through various Network Zones, it does not support allowlisting an IP address that belongs to a country already blocked by a Dynamic Zone and shows the following error:

 

 403 Access Forbidden: You don't have permission to access this page. 

 

Error message

Applies To
  • Network Zones
  • Allowlist IP addresses
  • Blocklist IP addresses
  • Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
Solution
  • Okta does not allow blocklisted IP addresses to access any of the org's URLs. Okta blocks these requests before any policy evaluation occurs.
  • Clients connecting from blocked network zones see a 403 Access Denied error.
  • Okta will prioritize the blocklist over the allowlist in Network zones.
