Restrict Characters Allowed in Host Names

You can configure the SiteMinder agent to enforce a host name policy in your organization by restricting the characters allowed in host names.

Specify the characters allowed in host names with the following parameter:

LegalHostNameChars

Instructs the agent to verify that host names contain only the characters set in this parameter. The agent rejects requests for host names containing any characters not specified.

For example, suppose you have three hosts named example.com, example.org, and example.net. To have the agent reject requests for other host names, add your three host names to the LegalHostNameChars parameter.

Default: Disabled (all characters allowed).

Example: server.example.com:port_number

Limits: Multiple values allowed.

To restrict characters allowed in host names, set the value of the LegalHostNameChars parameter.
