This means that all methods are allowed for all hosts. If the default file is
empty, the
methods_deny.txt
file is always checked.
Other syntax rules for this file are as follows:
• Each entry must be on a separate line.
• Empty lines are ignored.
• The # character and all following characters on a line are ignored.
• If a domain name is preceded by by a dot (.), all hosts in that domain will
match.
• If a network number is followed by a dot (.), all IP numbers in that network
will match.
• A comma separated list of name patterns and number patterns can be
specified on a single line.
methods_deny.txt
The
methods_deny.txt
file defines the authentication methods that
NetBackup servers and clients cannot use. NetBackup checks this file only if
the
methods_allow.txt
file does not have a matching entry for the host and
method (see previous topic). If a matching entry is found in
methods_deny.txt
the method is not allowed and authentication is not used.
Otherwise, the method is used and authentication proceeds.
The following is an example file:
# All hosts in the ourcompany.com domain cannot use the vopie method.
vopie : .ourcompany.com
#
# Hosts with IP addresses in the 12.123.56 network cannot use all
methods.
ALL : 12.123.56.
The default file contains only the following entry:
ALL : ALL
This means that all methods are denied for all hosts, unless it is specified
otherwise in the
methods_allow.txt
file.
