PAS for OpenEdge supports remote access filters that restrict access to the server based on the client IP address or host name.

  • RemoteHostValve—filters access based on the client host name
  • RemoteAddrValve—filters access based on the client IP address

Use the tcman feature command to enable or disable. For example:

Enable
tcman feature RemoteHostValve=on
tcman feature RemoteAddrValve=on
Note: Enabling RemoteHostValve requires DNS hostname resolution, which can result in slower performance.

Disable

tcman feature RemoteHostValve=off
tcman feature RemoteAddrValve=off
Important: The filters are implemented as Apache Tomcat valves in the conf/server.xml file of the instance. Do not configure remote access filter expressions by editing conf/server.xml directly. Use only the tcman feature command to enable or disable these features.
