Question

Allow directive in Vhost.xml vs. Adapter.xml - what's the difference?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Allow directive in Vhost.xml file and the one in Adapter.xml file? The PDF on FMS says about Allow in Vhost.xml:

"This element is a comma-delimited list of domains that are allowed to connect to this virtual host. The default value is
all. If the Allow element is left empty, the only connections allowed are those coming from the same domain."

While it says the following about Adapter.xml:

"A comma-delimited list of host names, domain names, and/or full or partial IP addresses from which clients can
connect to the server."

I can't see any difference?

I'd guess one specifies domains that hosted SWFs can connect to server from, while the other specifies client-side hosts which can connect to the server.. However it is not clear to me which is which.

    Its like having finer control over each of your vhosts. I mean if you create 2 vhosts - you migth want to have seperate entries for them though both vhosts might come under same adaptor. You might want only client from xyz.com to connect to vhost1 and not vhost2. I hope this little info is helpful.
