Managing trusted hosts

You can specify which, if any, of the hosts on your system are trusted hosts by using the Edit Security Settings dialog box. You can also specify that all hosts are trusted or that none of the hosts are trusted. Setting trusted hosts to None disables access from System Manager. This setting can only be repaired using the "trusted.hosts" option in the CLI.
