To create a new AutoConfig rule:
1. Optionally disable AutoConfig before adding or editing rules. This is
recommended practice so interim rule configurations do not result in unexpected
group memberships.
2. Choose an existing group from the
Choose Group
select box and click
Add rule
for group
. When a new rule is created it has no IP ranges, no specific passwords
and Add device with no password is checked. If AutoConfig is enabled this rule
will match all Zero Clients with no password.
3. To restrict the rule's password matching click
Add Password
to add one or more
specific passwords to the rule. Once the rule contains one or more specific
passwords the
Add devices with no password
checkbox can be cleared if
desired. There is no limit on the number of specific passwords a rule can have.
4. To restrict the rule's IP address matching click
Add IP Address Range
to add one
or more IP address ranges. There is no limit on the number of IP address ranges
a rule can have.
5. If AutoConfig was disabled in step 1 enable it now to make the current rule
configuration active.
When two rules conflict with each other the Manage AutoConfig screen will display a
warning. Leaving rule conflicts unresolved will result in unexpected group memberships
as the AutoConfig feature randomly selects which rule gets applied to a Zero Client that
satisfies more than one rule.
After creation, AutoConfig rules can be freely edited by adding and removing specific
passwords and IP address ranges and changing the Add devices with no password
checkbox. Again, it is recommended to disable AutoConfig before editing the rules and to
re-enable it when done.
