Description
This file is for configuring which hosts are to use non-encrypted communication. By default, this file specifies non-encrypted communication for all hosts, so if you want to use encrypted communication, you must configure this file. If you want JP1/IM - View to use non-encrypted communications upon login to a manager host, you must define the host in this file. Communication with manager hosts that are not defined in this file will be encrypted.
JP1/IM - View compares the destination host name in the Login window and the connection target host name specified in the -h option of the jcoview or jcfview command against the manager host names listed in the definition file, and if there is a match, uses non-encrypted communication with the host. The host names are not case sensitive.
When the definitions are applied
The settings for the non-encryption communication host configuration file take effect at the following times:
-
When you log in to Central Console from the Central Console viewer, log in to Central Scope from the Central Scope viewer, or log in to IM Configuration Management from the IM Configuration Management viewer (when you display the Login window and click the OK button to log in)
-
When you display the Central Console viewer or Central Scope viewer from the IM Configuration Management viewer
-
When you display the site manager's IM Configuration Management viewer from the IM Configuration Management viewer (Launch Base View)
The following table shows whether the non-encryption communication host configuration file is read when different viewers are launched
