Question: How do I restrict access to a remote application to select clients?
A: You can provide to a server a list of client workstations that will be permitted to download and run a copy of a remote application. Your application's "Sync.wif" file contains a list of the primary configuration server and backup servers for your application (the "Sync.wif" file is stored within your server's application directory).
By default, Sync.wif contains one section, as displayed in the example below:
[Configuration-Servers]
Name = LAB5
Name = LAB3
Name = LAB1
The first entry in this section specifies the name of the primary configuration server for your application. The subsequent workstations are the backup configuration servers for your application. These machines act as clients unless and until they are called upon to assume the role of configuration server.
You may add a second section beneath this section as follows:
[Configuration-Clients]
Name = LAB11
Name = LAB12
Name = LAB13
A section like the one displayed in this example, specifies the names of the clients that will be permitted to download and run this application by performing a "Get From Server" action. Clients not specified in this list will not be permitted access to the application.
Information on performing a "Get From Server" action can be found in "VTS Application Manager (VAM): Adding a Remote Application to the VAM".
