Networks list

Ths property indicates whether specific networks can or cannot use Symantec authentication and authorization with the local system. The names on the list are relevant only if the Symantec Product Authentication and Authorization property in the Access Control dialog box is set to Automatic or Required.

Symantec recommends setting the master server Symantec Product Authentication and Authorization property to Automatic until the clients are configured for access control. Then, change the Symantec Product Authentication and Authorization property on the master server to Required.

If a media server or client does not define a Symantec Authentication and Authorization network, it uses the networks of its master server.

To add a network to the Network list in the Access Control properties, click Add on the Symantec Product Authentication and Authorization tab to display the Add Network dialog box.

To delete a network from the Network list, select the network name, then click Remove.
