I know that, to add remote authentication, I should add a allowHosts attribute in the config.xml. And the mask for a quad in an IP address is 0. It made me confused in some situation. Say I want to allow all the hosts with IP address like 192.168.0.*. So, the mask should be <attribute name="allowHosts">192.168.0.0</attribute>. But my understanding is, to config this way, all the hosts like 192.168.*.* will be allowed. That may cause some security issue.
Is my understanding right? Could some one elaborate the mechanism of the mask for allowHosts attribute?
