Best Practices While Using The Omarolemap File
The following are the best practices to be considered while working with the omarolemap file:
• Do not delete the following default entries in the omarolemap file.
root * Administrator
+root * Poweruser
* * User
• Do not change the omarolemap file permissions or file format.
• Do not use the loop back address for <Host_Name>, for example: localhost or 127.0.0.1.
• After the connection services are restarted and the changes do not take effect for the omarolemap
file, see the command log for the errors.
• When the omarolemap file is copied from one machine to another machine, file permissions and the
entries of the file needs to be rechecked.
• Prefix the Group Name with +.
• Server Administrator uses the default operating system user privileges, if:
– a user is degraded in the omarolemap file
– there are duplicate entries of user names or user groups along with same <Host_Name>
• You can also use Space as a delimiter for columns instead of [Tab].
