Create device profiles to configure authentication guidelines for users or groups of users based on various
global, group, or user attributes. For example, you can select groups that use an Antivirus program or users with
a specific Windows version.
Two kinds of profiles are available:
Allow
profiles and
Deny
profiles.
Allow
profiles identify attributes of the
client’s network that must be present before a user is authenticated, and
Deny
profiles identify attributes of
the network that
cannot
be present. If multiple profiles are defined for a group or user, connection to the
SMA/SRA appliance is granted only when a client’s environment fulfills all
Allow
profiles for the group or user
and does not fulfill any
Deny
profiles.
Use the
End Point Control > Device Profiles
page to manage device profiles.
