Using <literal>hostaddr</> instead of <literal>host</> allows the |
|
|
|
|
application to avoid a host name look-up, which might be important |
|
|
|
|
in applications with time constraints. However, a host name is |
|
|
|
|
required for Kerberos, GSSAPI, or SSPI authentication, as well as |
|
|
|
|
for full SSL certificate verification. The following rules are |
|
|
|
|
used: |
|
|
|
|
If <literal>host</> is specified without <literal>hostaddr</>, |
|
|
|
|
a host name lookup occurs. |
|
|
|
|
If <literal>hostaddr</> is specified without <literal>host</>, |
|
|
|
|
the value for <literal>hostaddr</> gives the server network address. |
|
|
|
|
The connection attempt will fail in any of the cases where a |
|
|
|
|
host name is required. |
|
|
|
|
If both <literal>host</> and <literal>hostaddr</> are specified, |
|
|
|
|
the value for <literal>hostaddr</> gives the server network address. |
|
|
|
|
The value for <literal>host</> is ignored unless needed for |
|
|
|
|
authentication or verification purposes, in which case it will be |
|
|
|
|
used as the host name. Note that authentication is likely to fail |
|
|
|
|
if <literal>host</> is not the name of the machine at |
|
|
|
|
<literal>hostaddr</>. |
|
|
|
|
required for Kerberos, GSSAPI, or SSPI authentication |
