Overrides
Overrides can be specified using various matching criteria below…
- PoolIdentifier
- Username
- IPAddress
- Group (future)
Matching occurs in the following way…
- Start with only PoolIdentifier in the check list
- If the pool has 1 member, then add Username, IPAddress and Group to the check list list
- If ALL items specified in the check list match, and NONE mismatch, add to the list of matches
- Process the list of matches from least number of matches to highest number (one match, two matches, three matches, in this order) and apply the overrides
Notes:
- Obviously if there is a match with a PoolIdentifier and Username, but this pool has more than 1 pool member it will not match. The Username, IPAddress and Group is only added if there is ONE pool member.
Notes2:
- Take this scenario: Add a pool named "test1" and pool member with IP 192.168.1.1 and username "joe", apply an override to IP '192.168.1.1'. The override is applied. Add a second pool member with IP '192.168.1.2' to the same pool. The override will be removed. Remove the pool member with IP '192.168.1.2', the override will be applied again.
