Chapter 4. Deploying Access Connections After creating the location profiles required for client users, you can also manage and deploy new, updated, or revised location profiles to client computers. Access Connections deployment features The following is a list of features to help IT administrators deploy and manage Access Connections: v The IBM Access Connections Enabler for Administrator Profile Deployment feature is required to deploy location profiles that you create for client users. The Enabler is available to IT professionals only at http://www3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=ACON-DEPLOY. v Administrators can create location profiles and distribute them as part of a preload image or install them after the client systems have been deployed. v Control policies can be set for each profile. v Distribution control lists can be created to limit who can import various deployment packages. v A client configuration policy can be set to configure the operation of Access Connections on the client computer. v Deployment packages are encrypted and password protected to be sure that only authorized individuals can import the location profiles that may contain wireless security information such as WEP or static password, for example.
