Hosts (HOST) Properties

Use the Hosts (HOST class) properties windows for creating, modifying, or viewing a record of this class. Each record defines the access that a host has to the local computer when connected by IPv4. For each host, the ACL lists the service rules that govern the services that the local host provides to a group of hosts.

Use the Hosts (HOST class) properties windows for creating, modifying, or viewing a record of this class. Each record defines the access that a host has to the local computer when connected by IPv4. For each host, the ACL lists the service rules that govern the services that the local host provides to a group of hosts.
This window contains the following fields in the General tab:
  • Name
    Defines the name of the resource. Indicates the name of the host. CA Privileged Identity Manager resolve the addresses of host names that you add to the HOST class. The names must appear in the operating system hosts file, or must be defined to NIS or DNS. CA Privileged Identity Manager permits aliases for a host name, but records that represent aliases are not used for authorization checks. You need the canonical name of a host for CA Privileged Identity Manager to protect the connection with that host.
  • Comment

     255 alphanumeric characters

This window contains the following fields in the Authorize tab:
  • Accessors
