Default Parameters for ACDeviceTest

This test reports the number of devices currently connected to AppController and also reveals the number and names of the connected devices that are locked and/or erased. If a user complains that he/she is unable to access some applications, then administrators can use this information to quickly determine whether the user device is indeed ‘authorized’ to access the applications or have been locked out or erased. Using the same information, administrators can also determine whether the user device is now ‘safe’ for use and can hence be unlocked or need not be erased.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the ACDeviceTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• To pull out metrics, this test needs to login to the AppController's management console as a user with Administrator rights to AppController. For this purpose, you need to configure this test with the USERNAME and PASSWORD of a user with Administrator rights to the AppController.

• Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Indicate whether/not AppController is SSL-enabled. By default, the SSL flag is set to Yes.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
