How to retrieve outbound IP address for a Liferay Cloud environment

Note: please note that Liferay has renamed its Liferay Experience Could offerings to Liferay SaaS (formerly LXC) and Liferay PaaS (formerly LXC-SM).

Issue

• This article describes how to identify and retrieve the outbound IP address of a Liferay PaaS environment. This might be useful for whitelists for outbound emails from the Liferay DXP service.

Environment

• Liferay PaaS

Resolution

•  You can retrieve your Liferay PaaS outbound IP by accessing the Liferay Cloud console, going into the Liferay service's shell and running the following: 
  
  • curl https://ifconfig.me
• We also have SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured. The SPF IPs can be identified by running the following within the Liferay service's shell:
  
  • nslookup -q=txt liferay.com
• Note: The outbound IP address will depend on the location of your Liferay PaaS environment.
