How to use glob (*) in DENY_USER_ALL?

[marcindulak]

Hi, i have a problem with lmx-serv accepting users despite

Code

DENY_USER_ALL = *

being present in lmx-serv.cfg. The server is running:

Code

/home/opt/common/QuantumWise/lmxtools-4.4.2/servertools/lmx-serv -b -c /home/opt/common/QuantumWise/lmxtools-4.4.2/servertools/lmx-serv.cfg -l /home/opt/common/QuantumWise/license.lic -lf /home/opt/common/QuantumWise/lmxtools-4.4.2/servertools/lmx-serv.log -port port

with lmx-serv.cfg, containing the right order accordingly to http://quantumwise.com/component/content/article/20-licensing/207-restricting-access-to-a-license-server :

Code

ALLOW_USER_ALL = user1
DENY_USER_ALL = *

I run, as user2:

Code

QUANTUM_AUTOMATIC_SERVER_DISCOVERY=false QUANTUM_EXTENDEDLOG=license.log atkpython

license.log reads:

Code

and the /home/opt/common/QuantumWise/lmxtools-4.4.2/servertools/lmx-serv.log contains:

Code

[[2013-11-04 14:40:05]] CHECKIN by user2@domain.com [AAA.AAA.AAA.AAA]: atkpython

If i explicitly disable a user

Code

DENY_USER_ALL = user2 

it gets rejected as expected:

* is not a valid option for user names, only IP addresses (and it has to be of the form 1.2.3.4, so 1.2.3.*, or 1.2.*.* or *.*.*.*, etc).

However, the ALLOW/DENY statements are parsed in a simple "first match" fashion, so you can obtain your desired configuration using

ALLOW_USER_ALL = user1
DENY_IPADDR_ALL = *.*.*.*

"user1" will be allowed by the first rule - and then the rule matching stops. Other users will hit the DENY line and no matter what they will be denied.
