Editing the Host Access Control List

The Access Control List (ACL) is a text file that you can use to restrict access to your X server to users from specific hosts. Exceed onDemand uses this file to restrict access only when you enable the Use Host ACL File host-access control mode.

To add hosts to the host Access Control List:

  1. Select the Xconfig file in which you want to configure the host ACL and open the Exceed onDemand Xconfig dialog box.
  2. On the Security page, click Edit. The host ACL file opens in a text editor.
  3. On a separate line, specify the name or IP address of the host that you want to add.
    Note: 
      Host names are not case sensitive. Lines beginning with a number sign (#) are treated as comments and are ignored.
  4. Click Save to save your changes and to close the text file editor.
  5. Click OK to save changes and return to the previous dialog box or click Apply and select another tab to continue modifying the Xconfig file.
