Approve remote access
The Approve Remote Access entry introduces an additional level of security on the remote device. It allows you to access the remote desktop or open a VPN channel only upon permission of the user, or by having direct access to the remote device. You can apply this setting to single devices only.
Note: Device installer permissions are required to enable or disable the Approve Remote Access entry.
To enable the Approve Remote Access feature on a remote device:
- Access the UBIQUITY Manager and select .
- Select the remote device for which you would like to set the Approve Remote Access permission.
- On the right pane, flag the Approve Remote Access option.
When Approve Remote Access is enabled on a device, and you attempt to start a VPN connection or a remote desktop session through the UBIQUITY Manager, an authorization window appears on the remote device showing the username and IP address of the incoming user connection. The operator of the remote device can then allow or deny access to the device. If access is denied, a notification will inform you that the connection request was not allowed.
