To Restrict Access to Known Devices

This process will prevent an RFgen client from connecting with a server until the RFgen administrator authorizes its connection.

By default, thin clients are allowed to connect unless you change the setting below. Batch clients by default are not allowed to connect.

 To Restrict Thin Clients

1. Before you start, verify that the client connection to the server is valid.
2. On the server, set Configure > Environment Settings > System Options > Restrict  Access to Known Devices to True. This will prevent all future device connections unless the device is authorized.
   * Offline (batch mode) by default restricted.
   * Thin clients are now all restricted from access.
   
3. From the Mobile Unity Platform Console, select Authorized Devices. Or, from the Mobile Dev Studio, select Devices > Authorized Devices.
4. A list of clients that have attempted a connection displays.
5. Locate your client entry.
6. Check the Online Access box for the client you want to allow access. Click Close.
7. Connect your thin client.
8. If its allowed access, it should connect.
   Note: Unauthorized thin clients will display a Connection Failure - Rejected by the server message.
