Introduction:
By default, the InTime Server allows all hosts to connect to it. A built-in security feature enables the InTime Server to block hosts from connecting to it.
More Information:
To block a host from connecting to the InTime Server, create a <Intime Server installation directory>/hosts.deny file.
[intime@server intimeserver]$ cat hosts.deny 192.168.5.26/32
Start the InTime GUI on any of the hosts listed in the hosts.deny file. Go to the Private Cloud console and click on the Connect button. A message “Connection is not allowed!” is displayed.
To block a subnet, use the following notation (standard CIDR or IP subnet mask representation).
[intime@server intimeserver]$ cat hosts.deny 192.168.5.0/24
If the same host appears in both hosts.allow and hosts.deny, the host will be blocked – hosts.deny has priority.
