Example
Suppose QConvergeConsole GUI is installed on a Windows system with the IP
address 172.27.10.31, and that the portmap service is configured with
Localhost Only enabled. On a second system, you can use the URL
http://172.27.10.31:8080/QConvergeConsole to connect to the first
system at 172.27.10.31.
Therefore, to completely restrict access to only local host connections, you must
install portmap service and QConvergeConsole GUI with the Localhost Only
option enabled.
Using Localhost Only on Windows
On a Windows system, you must reinstall the agent to modify the existing setting
of the Localhost Only feature. If Localhost Only is enabled, the registry key
portmap is created under the key SOFTWARE\QLogic Corporation\. The
value of key name LocalhostOnly is set to 1.
To enable and disable the Localhost Only feature on Windows:
 If you are using the standalone agent installer, during installation select
either Yes or No in the message box that prompts you to enable or disable
the Localhost Only feature.
 If you are using the SuperInstaller, enable the Localhost Only feature prior to
running the SuperInstaller by changing the registry as follows:
a. Under the registry key SOFTWARE\QLogic Corporation\
portmap, determine if the registry key LocalhostOnly exists.
b. If LocalhostOnly does not exist, create it.
c. Set the key value of LocalhostOnly to 1.
Using Localhost Only on Linux
To restrict the portmap service to respond only to requests for connections from a
local host, you must edit the following two files:
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
NOTE
If you enable the Localhost Only feature and then introduce a new IP
address, you must reboot the system.
