FQDN_MATCHING
FQDN_MATCHING exact | lenient
Sets the level to which host names used in HOST type-specifiers must match the host name sent
by the FLEXenabled application. The application is configured to send either its host name or
its fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to the vendor daemon for validation with HOST type-
specifiers. Check with your vendor to determine fully qualified domain name support.
Only the last FQDN_MATCHING keyword in the options file has effect; all others are ignored.

GROUP, or HOST_GROUP. See “Type Specification” for
details.

excluded.

exact
The host name in the HOST type specifier must match in
content and format to that sent by the application. This is the
default setting.
lenient
The host name sent by the application needs match to the extent
supplied in the HOST type specifier or by the application, which
ever is less restrictive.
