● Do not change the omarolemap file permissions or file 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 effect for the omarolemap file, see the command
log for the errors.
● When the 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:
○ a user is degraded in the omarolemap file
○ 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].
