Martin and I kicked about the idea of integrating the two at one point, but didn't due to logistical problems with the current ACL implementation in the Java broker. It seemed to make more sense to do it as an extension to the shared ACL format, but that patch never quite seems to go in. Adding in a "from <netmask/hostname>" would be pretty simple syntax wise, and similar to what things like PostgreSQL do. It's a shame the @ syntax is already taken, but nm. Something like this perhaps? acl allow user from localhost acl allow user from 192.168.1.1/24 - Aidan -- Apache Qpid - AMQP, JMS, other messaging love http://qpid.apache.org "A witty saying proves nothing" - Voltaire --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected]
