Administration Connector

The Administration Connector is used to interact with administration tools using LDAP.

It is a dedicated entry point for administration.

Dependencies

Administration Connectors depend on the following objects:

Basic Properties

allowed-client

SynopsisA set of clients who will be allowed to establish connections to this Administration Connector.
DescriptionValid values include a host name, a fully qualified domain name, a domain name, an IP address, or a subnetwork with subnetwork mask. Specifying a value for this property in a connection handler will override any value set in the global configuration.
Default Value

All clients with addresses that do not match an address on the deny list are allowed. If there is no deny list, then all clients are allowed.

denied-client

SynopsisA set of clients who are not allowed to establish connections to this Administration Connector.
DescriptionValid values include a host name, a fully qualified domain name, a domain name, an IP address, or a subnetwork with subnetwork mask. If both allowed and denied client masks are defined and a client connection matches one or more masks in both lists, then the connection is denied. If only a denied list is specified, then any client not matching a mask in that list is allowed. Specifying a value for this property in a connection handler will override any value set in the global configuration.
Default Value

If an allow list is specified, then only clients with addresses on the allow list are allowed. Otherwise, all clients are allowed.

DescriptionThe property can be used multiple times (referencing different nicknames) when server certificates with different public key algorithms are used in parallel (for example, RSA, DSA, and ECC-based algorithms). When a nickname refers to an asymmetric (public/private) key pair, the nickname for the public key certificate and associated private key entry must match exactly. A single nickname is used to retrieve both the public key and the private key. This is only applicable when the Administration Connector is configured to use SSL.
