How do I administer the PrivateNet server?
A. Update the PrivateNet server configuration data found in the SocksPlus.conf and authorize.conf files. The SocksPlus.conf file contains all rules necessary for access control and server-to-server connections. The rules are fairly traditional, using source and destination addresses and port numbers to determine if a given client should be allowed to connect through the server. The SocksPlus.conf file is also used to determine the behavior for server connections. Configuration statements determine which of the PrivateNet servers will be allowed to connect to other PrivateNet servers. These statements will also allow departmental servers to be administered separately from other PrivateNet servers at the corporate firewall level. The SocksPlus.conf file also provides for time-outs and limitation rules of connection types. The authorize.conf file contains the rules for how users can connect through a PrivateNet server. These rules determine which users can Telnet in from the Internet, wha
