Table 6. Best Practices for omarolemap le
root * Administrator
+root * Poweruser
* * User
• Do not change the omarolemap le permissions or le format.
• 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 eect for the omarolemap le, see the command log
for the errors.
• When the omarolemap le is copied from one machine to another machine, le permissions and the entries of the le needs to
be rechecked.
• Prex the Group Name with +.
• Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privileges, if:
– a user is degraded in the omarolemap le
– 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].
