-.SH "NAME"
-\&\fBXPAAcl: Access Control for \s-1XPA\s0 Messaging\fR
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
-\&\s-1XPA\s0 supports host-based access control for each \s-1XPA\s0 access point. You
-can enable/disable access control using the \s-1XPA_ACL\s0 environment
-variable. You can specify access to specific \s-1XPA\s0 access points for
-specific machines using the \s-1XPA_DEFACL\s0 and \s-1XPA_ACLFILE\s0 environment
-variables. By default, an \s-1XPA\s0 access point is accessible only to
-processes running on the same machine (same as X Windows).
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
-When \s-1INET\s0 sockets are in use (the default, as specified by the
-\&\fI\s-1XPA_METHOD\s0\fR environment variable), \s-1XPA\s0 supports a host-based
-access control mechanism for individual access points. This mean that
-access can be specified for get, set, or info operations for each
-access point on a machine by machine basis. For \s-1LOCAL\s0 sockets, access
-is restricted (by definition) to the host machine.
-.PP
-\&\s-1XPA\s0 access control is enabled by default, but can be turned off by
-setting the \fI\s-1XPA_ACL\s0\fR environment variable to \fIfalse\fR.
-In this case, any process can access any \s-1XPA\s0 server.
-.PP
-Assuming that access control is turned on, the \s-1ACL\s0 for an individual
-\&\s-1XPA\s0 access point is set up when that access point is registered
-(although it can be changed later on; see below). This can be done in
-one of two ways:
-.PP
-Firstly, the \fI\s-1XPA_ACLFILE\s0\fR environment variable can defined to
-point to a file of access controls for individual access points. The format
-of this file is:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& class:name ip acl
-.Ve
-.PP
-The first argument is a template that specifies the class:name of the
-access point covered by this \s-1ACL\s0. See
-\&\s-1XPA\s0 Access Points and Templates
-for more information about xpa templates.
-.PP
-The second argument is the \s-1IP\s0 address (in human-readable format) of
-the machine which is being given access. This argument can be
-\&\fI*\fR to match all \s-1IP\s0 addresses. It also can be \fI\f(CI$host\fI\fR
-to match the \s-1IP\s0 address of the current host.
-.PP
-The third argument is a string combination of \fIs\fR, \fIg\fR,
-or \fIi\fR to allow \fIxpaset\fR, \fIxpaget\fR, or
-\&\fIxpainfo\fR access respectively. The \s-1ACL\s0 argument can be
-\&\fI+\fR to give \fIsgi\fR access or it can be \fI\-\fR to turn
-off all access.
-.PP
-For example,
-.PP
-.Vb 3
-\& *:xpa1 somehost sg
-\& *:xpa1 myhost +
-\& * * g
-.Ve
-.PP
-will allow processes on the machine somehost to make xpaget and xpaset calls,
-allow processes on myhost to make any call, and allow all other hosts to
-make xpaget (but not xpaset) calls.
-.PP
-Secondly, if the \fI\s-1XPA_ACLFILE\s0\fR does not exist, then a single
-default value for all access points can be specified using the
-\&\fI\s-1XPA_DEFACL\s0\fR environment variable. The default value for this
-variable is:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& #define XPA_DEFACL "*:* $host +"
-.Ve
-.PP
-meaning that all access points are fully accessible to all processes
-on the current host. Thus, in the absence of any \s-1ACL\s0 environment variables,
-processes on the current host have full access to all access points
-created on that host. This parallels the X11 xhost mechanism.
-.PP
-Access to an individual \s-1XPA\s0 access point can be changed using the \-acl
-parameter for that access point. For example:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& xpaset \-p xpa1 \-acl "somehost \-"
-.Ve
-.PP
-will turn off all access control for somehost to the xpa1 access point, while:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& xpaset \-p XPA:xpa1 \-acl "beberly gs"
-.Ve
-.PP
-will give beberly xpaget and xpaset access to the access point whose
-class is \s-1XPA\s0 and whose name is xpa1.
-.PP
-Similarly, the current \s-1ACL\s0 for a given access point can be retrieved using:
-.PP
-.Vb 1
-\& xpaget xpa1 \-acl
-.Ve
-.PP
-Of course, you must have xpaget access to this \s-1XPA\s0 access point to
-retrieve its \s-1ACL\s0.
-.PP
-Note that the \s-1XPA\s0 access points registered in the \fIxpans\fR
-program also behave according to the \s-1ACL\s0 rules. That is, you cannot
-use xpaget to view the access points registered with xpans unless
-you have the proper \s-1ACL\s0.
-.PP
-Note also when a client request is made to an \s-1XPA\s0 server, the access
-control is checked when the initial connection is established. This
-access in effect at this time remains in effect so long as the client
-connection is maintained, regardless of whether the access fro that
-\&\s-1XPA\s0 is changed later on.
-.PP
-We recognize that host-based access control is only relatively secure
-and will consider more stringent security (e.g., private key) in the
-future if the community requires such support.
