To add a new Mobile User, select Mobile Users and click the New button.
The Add Mobile User window is displayed. On this window, fill out the fields as follows:
Name: Enter a name for the new Mobile User.
You can use up to 50 alphanumeric characters, including hyphens and underscore characters. Tabs, spaces, and punctuation characters are not allowed.
Mobile User names cannot be the same as any Location names or existing Corente Client account names in your domain.
If you plan to configure an external authentication provider, the Mobile User name must match the login name in the directory.
Email: Email address of the Mobile User
A confirmation email message is sent to the user when you set up a Mobile User account.
Use External Authentication: Select this option and the Mobile User will authenticate using either RADIUS or LDAP, depending on the type of external authentication that has been enabled on the Corente Services Gateway. See Configuring External Authentication.
NoteIf an External Authentication server has not been enabled on the Corente Services Gateway, the Mobile User will be unable to connect to the Location.
Password: Create an alphanumeric password for this Mobile User account. This password must contain at least one uppercase, one lowercase, and one numeric character.
Confirm Password: Re-enter the password you created in the Password field to avoid any mistakes.
Windows Helper App Settings: These settings only apply if the Mobile User is using the Corente Client on a Windows client device.
Select the Use in Conjunction with Windows Helper App check box and configure the following settings:
Access Settings: Allows you to select how the Corente Client will connect to your Corente Services network.
Allow access to local Network: Select this option if you would like to allow the Corente Client to contact and be contacted by machines on its own LAN while it is connected to its Location partner. You should not select this option if this machine will be accessible by untrusted devices. When this option is not selected, while the software is in use, the Corente Client will only be able to contact and be contacted by machines via the Location partner. By default, this option is not selected.
Backhaul All Traffic: Select this option if you would like all traffic (both traffic destined for the Location partner and traffic destined for other places, such as the Internet) to travel inside the secure tunnel and be routed to the Location partner. The Location partner receives all of the traffic and then routes it appropriately. By default, this option is selected. When this option is not selected, no traffic will be backhauled. This means that the Corente Client:
Is able to access only the computers on the LAN of the Location to which it is connected.
Is unable to access the partners of its Location partner. The partners and computers behind those partners will be visible to the Corente Client user in Gateway Viewer, but will be inaccessible.
Mobile User Expiration: If you would like to create a temporary Mobile User account for a user, you can use the Mobile User Expiration feature to specify the length of time (in days) that the user will be permitted to connect to its partners. When the subscription period has ended, the Mobile User will immediately be disconnected by the Corente SCP when the user attempts to connect to partners. An expired Mobile User account will remain listed in App Net Manager so that you are able to modify the Mobile User Expiration settings and renew the Mobile User subscription, easily rendering the Mobile User account usable again.
No Expiration: When this option is selected, the subscription for this Mobile User will not expire. The Mobile User will be permitted to connect to its partners until you delete this Mobile User account or change the Mobile User Expiration settings. By default, this option will be selected.
Expires In: When this option is selected, the Mobile User subscription will endure for the time period that is specified in the adjacent field. When the end of the time period approaches, the Mobile User will be notified of the impending expiration. When the time period has ended, this Mobile User will no longer be permitted to connect to its assigned partners until you change the Mobile User Expiration settings. The default time period is 30 days.
Expired: When this option is selected, the subscription for this Mobile User has expired. The Mobile User will not be permitted to connect to its assigned partners unless you renew the subscription by selecting either the No Expiration or Expires In option and save your changes.
Mobile User Group Assignments: Select the Mobile User Groups to which this new Mobile User will be assigned. You can select as many groups as you would like. A Mobile User Group may contain up to 100 Mobile Users.
When you have finished filling out this window, click OK to save your changes. Click Cancel to cancel adding the new Mobile User.
