Restrictions on administration commands used with SPCF

You cannot use the command-line option -i to specify input from a file or from standard input. All commands must be entered directly at the NetView console.

With query_* commands, you can use the command-line options -a (return all entries) and -d (return detailed information) in the same way as when entering commands on the Linux command line.

To provide security, you can set up the CS Linux configuration so that only certain types of commands are permitted from SPCF. For example, you can permit remote users to issue query_* commands, but not to activate or deactivate CS Linux components. You can control access separately for each of the following groups of commands:

• define_*, set_*, delete_*, add_*, and remove_* commands, and also init_node
• query_* commands
• Action commands: start_*, stop_*, activate_*, deactivate_*, and also aping, initialize_session_limit, change_session_limit, and reset_session_limit

For more information about setting up security options for SPCF, refer to the description of the define_rcf_access command in IBM Communications Server for Data Center Deployment on Linux Administration Command Reference.
