Limit RMI access to localhost
[280 byte] By [Esdna] at [2007-11-26 21:41:45] 
Hi all!Quick question: When I start up my RMI service it is accessible by all hosts on the network. Is there a way to limit this so only localhost can connect as a client?(And apart from blocking the port in localhost's firewall)Cheers,E

There are two ways.
1. Run a SecurityManager in the server and only grant SocketPermission 'accept' to 'localhost'.
2. Code your remote objects' remote method implementations to check java.rmi.server.RemoteServer.getClientHost() and abort the method with a SecurityException (for example) or a java.rmi.AccessException if the client isn''t calling from localhost.
