Servers started using the stap-server initscript are automatically authorized to receive connections from all clients on the same host.

Servers started by other means are automatically authorized to receive connections from clients on the same host run by the user who started the server. This was implemented with convenience in mind; users are automatically authorized to connect to a server they started themselves, provided that both client and server are running on the same host.

Whenever root starts a compile server, all clients running on the same host automatically recognize the server as authorized. However, Red Hat advises that you refrain from doing so.

Similarly, a compile server initiated through stap-server is automatically authorized as a trusted signer on the host in which it runs. If the compile server was initiated through other means, it is not automatically authorized as such.
