methods_allow.txt
The methods_allow.txt file defines the authentication methods that NetBackup servers and clients can use.
When a client or server attempts a connection, it specifies the authentication method it is using. The other server or client then checks its methods_allow.txt file to determine if that method is allowed for the system that is attempting the connection. If an entry in this file matches the host and method, the method is allowed. Otherwise, NetBackup checks the methods_deny.txt file.
# All hosts in the ourcompany.com domain and host name
# bob.theircompany.com can use the vopie method.
vopie : .ourcompany.com, bob.theircompany.com
#
# Hosts with IP addresses in the 12.123.56 network and IP address
# 2.123.57.23 can use all methods.
ALL : 12.123.56.
ALL : 12.123.57.23
The keyword ALL is used to specify all valid methods, as in the previous example, or all possible hosts.
The default file is empty.
- 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 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 domain name patterns and network number patterns can be specified on a single line.
