ADMIN_IPFILE Keyword

     ADMIN_IPFILE={ipfile}

This keyword controls access to administrative data maintained by the Data Manager. The parameter specifies an I/P filtering file.

This keyword is now obsolete.

The format of the {ipfile} is similar to an INI file where sections named '[Ip_Allowed]' or '[Ip_NotAllowed]' contain keyword entries that identify IP addresses that are allowed or disallowed from accessing the administrative services. Each keyword entry included in one section cannot be used in another. Each keyword entry is formatted as follows:

[Ip_Allowed]

IP_{key32A}={key32B} ;Comment

[Ip_NotAllowed]

IP_{key32C}={key32D} ;Comment

All keyword data strings found in the {key32A}, {key32B}, {key32C}, {key32D} definitions are mutually exclusive. Each of the definition strings are composed of thirty-two (32) hexadecimal digits that decode to a specific IP address or mask to be used. A Sunbelt administrative program name SUNUSRIP is available to generate IP line item entries for placement into the IP filtering sections.

If only the '[Ip_NotAllowed]' section exists and an IP address or mask is placed into it, that IP address/mask is immediately rejected when access is initiated. All other IP addresses are accepted.

If only the '[Ip_Allowed]' section exists and an IP address/mask is placed into it, that IP address/mask is immediately accepted when access is initiated. All other IP addresses are rejected.

If both the '[Ip_NotAllowed]' and '[Ip_Allowed]' sections exist, filtering occurs when IP address/mask are found in the sections as follows:
