I got the desired solution. Thanks Buchan !!!
My next query is as follows:
Suppose we have 1000 hosts and we want to give 'user1' access to 999 hosts (with 1 restricted host). Then, in such case, we need to specify all 999 permitted host names in .ldif file.
There are wildcards like '*' stands for all hosts and '!' stands for excluding host. e.g.
- host: *
will allow access to all client nodes.
- host: !n1000
will not allow access to n1000 client node.In the above mentioned scenario, when I specify the following it doesn't work:
host: * host: !n1000
It will allow access to all 1000 hosts.
What is the output of 'hostname' for the host you have indicated here as 'n1000' ?
Also, have you tested the case of only allowing access to this host, using:
host: n1000
(and no other host entries)
when I specify the following:
host: *,!n1000
I don't think this is correct.
It is restricting access to all 1000 hosts.
Does anybody know how to use these wildcards(*,!) to get the desired solution?
From my brief look at the source, the first example you have in (2) above
should work, assuming the hostname you have used is correct.
