II_GC_REMOTE Server Setting
The II_GC_REMOTE setting allows or disallows a direct connection between the application process on the client machine and the Ingres Server process on the server machine, thus bypassing Name Server processing. The vnode attribute, connection_type, must be set to direct to enable direct connections as instructed in "Configure Direct Connect."
II_GC_REMOTE only needs to be set in the Server installation.
Valid II_GC_REMOTE values are as follows:
ON or ENABLE
Allows direct connections that use the vnode attribute as described previously, and rejects direct connections that are attempted using the II_DBMS_SERVER environment variable.
FULL or ALL
Allows both vnode controlled and II_DBMS_SERVER controlled direct connections. You must avoid using this setting because it compromises network security. (No validation occurs to determine whether the client installation has permission to access the server installation.)
Note: If II_GC_REMOTE is not set, or is not set to one of the above values, direct connections are disallowed.
