Temporary Disable Access for Users

Sometimes it makes sense to disable the access to a server for maintenance and troubleshooting issues.
Notes provides a very simple but powerful way. Use the following Notes.ini setting Server_Restricted=1 to temporary disable access to the server for all users. This restriction remains until next server restart. Remote server console is not effected and can still be used for troubleshooting. For permanently restricting the server -- even after restart use Server_Restricted=2.

You can reset this restriction by Server_Restricted=0. You should only use this setting from remote or local server console.

Use set config Server_Restricted=n

0 = Unrestricted
1 = Restricted until restart
2 = Restricted until you disable restriction manually
