UDM_ACCESS - UDM UACL Entry

Description

A UDM_ACCESS UACL entry either allows or denies access to Universal Data Mover Server services.

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

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

  • udm_access form is for IP-based client identification.
  • udm_cert_access is for X.509 certificate-based client identification.

A udm_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 udm_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 UACL Entries for details on host, remote_user, and local_user specification syntax.
