Stage protection can optionally be configured in the poolmanager rather than on the doors and the pinmanager. Thus the white list needs to be present on a single node only. To enable this, define the following parameter in /etc/dcache/dcache.conf:

dcache.authz.staging.pep=PoolManager

The file name of the white list must be configured by setting the dcache.authz.staging parameter in /etc/dcache/dcache.conf:

dcache.authz.staging=/etc/dcache/StageConfiguration.conf

The parameter needs to be defined on all nodes which enforce the stage protection, i.e., either on the doors and the pinmanager, or in the poolmanager depending on the stage policy enforcement point.
