Specify allowed client machines for NIS daemon

Specify a list of one or more subnets from which the daemon will accept NIS requests.

Enable this group policy to restrict access to the Centrify DirectControl Network Information Service by IP address. NIS requests that do not come from the IP addresses specified in this group policy are refused by the adnisd daemon.

You do not need to specify the local IP address for this group policy. The Centrify DirectControl Network Information Service will always accept local NIS client requests.

The value must include both the specific IP address or subnet and the subnet mask, separated by a forward slash. For example:

192.168.111.0/255.255.255.0

You can specify multiple IP addresses by separating each IP address-subnet mask pair with a comma or a space. For example:

192.68.11.0/255.255.255.0,192.147.10.0/255.255.255.0

If this group policy or the parameter it modifies is not defined in the configuration file, only local NIS client requests are accepted by the adnisd process. The default value is 0/0 to allow all machines.

This group policy modifies the nisd.securenets setting in the Centrify DirectControl configuration file.
