Best Practices While Using the omarolemap File
The following lists the best practices to be considered while working with
omarolemap file:
• Do not delete the following default entries in omarolemap file.
• Do not change the
omarolemap file permissions or file format.
• Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privilege, if a
user is degraded in the
omarolemap file.
• Do not use the loop back address for
<Host_Name> , for example:
localhost or 127.0.0.1.
• After the connection services are restarted and the changes do not take
effect for the
omarolemap file, see the command log for the errors.
•When
omarolemap file is copied from one machine to another machine,
file permissions and the entries of the file needs to be rechecked.
•Prefix the
Group Name with + .
• Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privileges,
if there are duplicate entries of user names or user groups along
with same
<Host_Name> .
• You can also use
Space as a delimiter for columns instead of [Tab].
