Optional: The administrator can define a Distribution Control List based on computer serial numbers. This method of distribution enables the administrator to type individual serial numbers or to create different groups of serial numbers that represent different organizations of users who need different location profiles. This optional step is designed primarily for securing the distribution of the profile location file (*.LOA), when it is being sent to remote users for manual importing. Distribution control lists ensure that individuals install appropriate network connection profiles only. They can help reduce unauthorized network access. Figure 5. Define Distribution Control List When creating groups of serial numbers, flat text files can be imported which contain the group of serial numbers. The file must be formatted such that each line contains a single serial number. These text files can be created by exporting a list that has been created with the Administrator Feature or by an asset management system if it has such capabilities. This simplifies the process of controlling distribution to a large number of computers based on their serial number. Chapter 4. Deploying Access Connections 15
