HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Installation and licensing guide (March 2008)

How to remove security
If you want to remove security from the selected system(s), perform the following steps
in the Application Recovery Manager GUI:
1. In the Context List, click Clients.
2. In the Scoping Pane, right-click the client(s) from which you want to remove
security and click Unsecure.
3. Click Yes to confirm that you allow access to the selected client(s).
If you want to remove security from all the clients in the cell, proceed as follows:
1. In the Context List, click Clients.
2. In the Scoping Pane, right-click Clients and click Cell Unsecure.
3. Click Yes to confirm that you allow access to all client(s) in your cell.
The allow_hosts and deny_hosts files
When you secure a client, the client names of the systems allowed to access a client
are written to the allow_hosts file. You can also explicitly deny access to a client
from certain computers by adding their names to the deny_hosts file. These files
are located in the AppRM_home\Config\client directory.
Specify each client name in a separate line.
NOTE:
If you accidentally lock out a client, you can manually edit (or delete) the allow_hosts
file on this client.
The files are in double-byte format (Unicode).
Strict hostname checking
By default, the Cell Manager uses a relatively simple method for validating users. It
uses the hostname as known by the client where a user interface or a ZDB Agent
and VSSBAR are started. This method is easier to configure and it provides a
reasonable level of security in environments where security is considered as “advisory”
(i.e. malicious attacks are not expected).
