Overview

Universal Access Control List (UACL) configurations (as shown in the following figure) are used to define Access Control Lists (ACLs) and certificates.



Each Universal Access Control configuration in the Configuration tree represents a type of UACL entry for a specific component.

A UACL entry type selected in the Configuration tree is identified at the top of the Configuration Options table. The column headers identify the fields that comprise the rule for that entry type. Each row in the table represents the rule for a single entry.

There is no limit to the number of UACL entries that can exist for an entry type.

The figure above, for example, illustrates a single entry of Broker Access Rules for the Universal Broker. The rule is comprised of two fields: Host (value=abc) and Access (value=Allow).
