Denying NetFile End Users Access to Hosts

You can edit the netfile.denyhosts field in the /etc/opt/SUNWstnr/platform.conf file to deny end users access to hosts such as the i-Planet gateway. You do this by editing the platform.conf file on the i-Planet server. You cannot do this using the Administration Console.

If end users try to add a machine whose IP address is one of those in netfile.denyhosts field, they will receive an error message and they will not be allowed access to that machine.

NetFile always denies access to the host on which it is running. NetFile gets this address itself. You do not need to add its address to the platform.conf file manually.

To Deny Hosts Access to i-Planet NetFile Application

1. Add the IP addresses of the machines to which you want to deny access in the netfile.denyhosts field of the /etc/opt/SUNWstnr/platform.conf file on the i-Planet server, for example:

   netfile.denyhosts=129.123.1.1 123.123.1.2

Separate the addresses in this field by spaces. Use the form in the example.
