ACCESS_ACL - UEM UACL entry

Description

The ACCESS_ACL option is used to allow or deny access to a demand-driven Universal Event Monitor Server. These rules are applied anytime a request to start a demand-driven Server is made, regardless of which Universal Event Monitor client application (that is, the UEMLoad utility or UEM Manager) issued the request.

Access is allowed or denied based on the following attributes:

  • IP address or host name of the system on which the UEM client application is executing (host)
  • ID of the user account with which a UEM Manager is executing (remote_user)
  • ID of a user account, specified via the USER_ID parameter of the UEM Manager, that is defined to the system on which the UEM Server is executing (local_user)


UNIX

An Access ACL entry also uses the value specified by auth to determine whether the local user account must be authenticated in order for the UEM Server to continue.

Value

access is the specification for whether or not access is permitted.

Valid values for access are:

  • allow
    Access is permitted.
  • deny
    Access is not permitted. A message is returned to the client application (either the UEMLoad utility or UEM Manager), and the connection between the client and the Server is closed.


UNIX

auth is the specification for whether or not the local user account must be authenticated.

Valid values for auth are:

  • auth
    Local user account must be authenticated. The UEM Manager must provide a proper password for the account.
  • noauth
    Local user account does not require user authentication. The UEM Manager still must supply a password to satisfy command syntax rules, but it will not be verified; any password value will suffice.

Caution

noauth should be used with care. Turning off user authentication may violate your local security policies on the UEM Server system.
