Connection validation policies

The following table lists the elements that an element of type connection-validation-policies can contain:

policy	policy	A connection validation policy.	0	unbounded

A connection validation policy.

The following table lists the attributes that an element of type policy can have:

Name	Type	Description	Required
name	push:string	Each policy must be supplied with a unique name for easy reference.	true
type	push:string	The policy type should be either "blacklist" or "whitelist". A blacklist indicates that if any of the policy rules in this policy match the incoming connection, that connection is to be rejected. A whitelist requires that at least one policy rule matches for the connection to be accepted.	true
automatic	push:boolean	Policies which are set to automatic are applied by Diffusion and the publishers do not need to perform any checks themselves. If this attribute is set to false, the policy is not applied unless it is done so by the publisher. If a value is not specified, a default of true is used. DEPRECATED: Since 6.2 Only automatic connection validation policies are used. Setting this to false will simply disable the policy. This option will be removed in a future release.	false
