# Client IP Validation

When `true`, check that the IP address of an authenticated request originates from the IP address used for authentication.

If the IP addresses do not match, respond as defined by [Client IP Validation Failure Response](com.sun.identity.agents.config.client.ip.validation.reauth.html).

Default: `false`
