Turning Access Control Off

When you deselect the option labeled Access Control Is On on the Access Control Rules For page, you receive a prompt asking whether you want to erase records in the ACL. When you click OK, the ACL entry for that resource is deleted from the ACL file.

If you want to deactivate an ACL, comment out the ACL lines in the file generated-proxy-serverid.acl by using # signs at the start of each line.

From the Administration Server, you could create and turn on access control for a specific server instance and leave it off (the default) for other servers. For example, you could deny all access to the Server Manager pages from the Administration Server. With distributed administration on and access control off by default for any other servers, administrators could still access and configure the other servers, but could not configure the Administration Server.
