LocalOnly Communication Parameter [LOCAL]

Allows a client to choose to connect only to a server on the local machine, if one exists.

Usage

TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS

Values

YES, NO

Default

NO

Description

If no server with the matching server name is found on the local machine, no server is autostarted.

The LocalOnly (LOCAL) communication parameter is useful only if DoBroadcast=ALL (the default)

LocalOnly=YES uses the regular broadcast mechanism, except that broadcast responses from servers on other machines are ignored.

You can use the LocalOnly (LOCAL) communication parameter with the server to restrict connections to the local machine. Connection attempts from remote machines do not find this server, and the Locate [dblocate] utility do not see this server. Running a server with the LocalOnly (LOCAL) communication parameter set to YES allows the network server to run as a personal server without experiencing connection or CPU limits.
