odbc-link users only – adding new IP address ranges

If you’re an odbc-link user, and your network infrastructure uses IP addresses to make a connection from your student management system, you need to add some additional ranges.

Posted Wed 5 October 2016

Pages 3 – 4 of the Changes to UCAS link systems technical guide have been updated to reflect this.

These ranges have been expanded because our infrastructure supplier (Amazon Web Services) has increased the number of addresses it uses. The ranges are used by all of the odbc-link services we deliver – both production and test.

Your technology relationship manager will be contacting you in the coming months to begin an odbc-link security project, which will remove the need to add all of these ranges to your firewall.

We’re sharing this information with your technical team as well, but please forward it to anyone else in your organisation who needs to know.

If you have any questions, please contact our HEP Team via the self service portal or on 0344 984 1111.
