The ECFLOW white list file is a way of restricting the access to ecFlow to only known users.
The file lists users with full access and users with only read access.
Including a user name give full read/write access, starting with '-' (dash/minus) gives read access only.
Note you must include a version number, e.g. 4.4.14 as the first non comment line to allow for potential future updates to the format.
The environment variable ECF_LISTS is used define the white list file name which should exist in the ECF_HOME folder of your server.
The white list file is an ASCII file.

| When creating a white list file (ecf.lists) be sure to include your user name with read/write privileges. Otherwise you can be locked out of your own server. |

What to do
- The expected name of the whitelist file for your server is available from the ECFLOW variable ECF_LISTS. Check this.
- In the home directory of your ecFlow server create a file <host>.<port>.ecf.lists given by ECF_LISTS containing your user id with read/write access.
Replace <host> and <port> with your machine name, and server port.
Note: this is the default only if you started your ecflow server with theecflow_start.sh - Load the white list file onto your server using the client command
- ecflow_client –-reloadwsfile
- ecflow_client –-reloadwsfile
