Notes
The format of P4AUTH is
host:portport by itself if both the
Helix Core Server and the authorization server are running on the same host. All
servers must be at the same release level.
Port numbers must be in the range 1024 through
32767.
If you have set P4AUTH, no warning will be given if you
delete a user who has an open file or client.
See Centralized authorization server (P4AUTH) in the Helix Core Server Administrator Guide.
We recommend that all the servers run the same operating system. See the Knowledgebase article on "CR/LF Issues and Text Line-endings" between Windows and non-Windows operating systems.
