RE: Can a DDMF point to localhost?

["Evan Harris" <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vern

My recollection was that DDM files defined over an IP connection require a
server authentication entry. 

First time I defined that stuff was at V5R2 so I have no recollection of
what V5R1 had or didn't have. Come to think of it - I don't remember working
on V5R1 except for a couple of test boxes. 

Regards
Evan Harris

Evan

I looked at a v5r4 machine and saw no entries for my profile. Those 
don't even exist on our v5r1 machine.

Seems I remember you saying something about IASPs in this context - but 
I've not tested that kind of thing.

Confused!!
