After spending some time playing with the access control policies in
Disptach, I'm wondering what is the idea behind the applicationName field.

First I though that it is just a name for the policy ruleset wich I can
choose as I want. But it seems to be connected to the hostname field in the
OPEN frame. Unfortunately, it looks like different clients put different
information into the hostname. E.g. the qpid-send / qpid-receive tools from
the Qpid C++ broker installation don't set the hostname at all. The qdstat
utility from dispatch seems to set it to the hostname it is connecting to.
But it looks like the applicationName doesn't support wildcards. As a
result, I need several different rulesets instead of having just one
ruleset.

Could someone explain to me how is it supposed to work? I din't found much
about it in the documentation.

Thanks & Regards
Jakub
