Object

scalar r/w Enumeration 
To enable source address validation of 
incoming subagent connections in an AgentX++
master agent, set this object to enabled(1).
          
Source address validation is necessary for TCP
AgentX connections for security reasons. In contrast
to UNIX domain sockets, (pure) TCP provides no means 
to control the access of a server port. So any subagent,
even remote subagents, may connect to an AgentX master
agent, if source address validation is disabled(2) and
not other security policies (i.e. firewall) are installed.
          
On non UNIX based systems, AgentX++ enables source
address validation by default to prevent subagents trying
to connect from non local IP addresses, because
these systems provide TCP support only.
