Server Security Settings For Deployment
Restrict the set of deployable servers using a white list. If a server is in the white list, it is provided with credentials during the
Auto-Discovery and handshake process and is displayed in the list of servers that are used for deployment. The white list is
maintained by manually adding server service tags, deleting service tags, or importing a list of service tags from a CSV file.
NOTE:
Use a CSV-delimited file to import servers. This contains multiple records on different lines where each record has
one or more service tags separated by commas.
To set up and manage white lists choose from the following:
● Enabling A Server White List
● Adding Servers To A White List
● Deleting Servers From A WhiteList
Enabling A Deployable Server White List
