Description

A UCTL_ACCESS UACL entry either allows or denies access to Universal Control Server services.

If access is permitted, UCTL_ACCESS also specifies whether or not user authentication is required.

There are two forms of the UCTL_ACCESS entry based on the client identification method:

• uctl_access form is for IP-based client identification.
• uctl_cert_access is for X.509 certificate-based client identification.

A uctl_access UACL entry is matched if all of the following occur:

• Request comes from an IP address identified by host.
• Remote end is executing as user remote_user.
• Remote user is requesting to execute a command as local user local_user.

A uctl_cert_access UACL entry is matched if both of the following occur:

• Request comes from a client with a certificate identifier of certid.
• Remote user is requesting to execute a command as local user local_user.

The first matching rule is used to control access.

See Universal Access Control List (UACL) for details on host, remote_user, local_user, and certid specification syntax.
