# IndexClients

DEPRECATED:

The `IndexClients` action parameter is deprecated for Distributed Index Handler version 11.5.0 and later. Micro Focus recommends that you use authorization roles instead. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

The `IndexClients` configuration parameter is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. The parameter might be deleted in future.

The IP addresses or host names for machines that are permitted to index data into IDOL server (using the specified `IndexPort`). Separate multiple addresses with commas. There must be no space before or after a comma.

You can use wildcards in the IP addresses. For example, type `187.*.*.*` to permit any machine whose IP address begins with `187` to access the service's status. You can also filter the `IndexClients` parameter using CIDR notation.

You can also configure client permissions by using the `[AuthorizationRoles]` configuration section. This section provides a more flexible method for setting up user authorization, and also allows you to set up permissions by using SSL identities or GSS principals. See Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters.

Configuring an authorization role with StandardRoles set to `Index` overrides the default value for `IndexClients`.

To disable authorization by client IP address, set this parameter to `""`. In this case, Distributed Index Handler uses the options that you set in the `[AuthorizationRoles]` section only.
