We do have something similar to your first example. > 127.0.0.1 localhost > 192.168.0.2 testmachine.domain.com testmachine
So we can probably move testmachine like you did. But does this mean that accesses by "testmachine.domain.com" will not comply? I was just hoping that the restriction would be based on some intrinsic information and not just on the name that was used. Providing I don't let anyone hack into my /etc/hosts file, can this be spoofed?

It probably looks like 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.2 testmachine.domain.com testmachine You should change this to 127.0.0.1 localhost testmachine 192.168.0.2 testmachine.domain.com Just be careful if you are using Solaris - you may end up configuring your ethernet to 127.0.0.1 if you have not used a fully qualified domain name in / etc/hostname.interfacename Regards Andrew On 12/06/2006, at 3:08 PM, Peter Crowther wrote: >> From: Mark Claassen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Say Tomcat is on a >> machine called TestMachine. >> If I put "127.0.0.1" in the address field, it accepts connections of >> the form "http: //127.0.0.1/..." only It does not accept connections >> from "http: >> //TestMachine/...", even though >> the server is this same machine. >> I was hoping that it would accept all connections from the local >> machine, regardless of what the connection was called. >> >> Is there a way to do this? > > Yes.
