Restricting Use of the LPD Protocol to Submit Jobs

Administrators can limit the hosts that are allowed to use the LPD protocol to submit jobs to workflows.
To restrict the use of the LPD protocol to submit jobs:
  1. In the menu bar, click Operations.
  2. In the Server pod, click System.
    You see the Properties for Server dialog:
    Properties for Server dialog
  3. Set the Hosts allowed to submit LPD jobs server property to specify the host names or IP addresses of the hosts that are allowed to submit jobs using the LPD protocol.
    • Separate host names and IP addresses with semicolons.
    • You can use wild cards in host names and IP addresses (for example, *.acmeproducts.com or 192.*). A value of * means that all hosts are allowed to submit jobs. Values that contain only numbers, decimal points, and wild cards are compared to IP addresses. Values that contain wild cards and at least one alphabetic character are compared to host names. An empty value means that no hosts are allowed to submit jobs.
    • The default is *.
    • If you are not using Domain Name Services (DNS), you must fully qualify the host name. For example: mathomhouse.micheldelving.org.
  4. Click OK.
