The
8e6 Mobile Client Configuration Editor can be found under Start
> Programs > 8e6 Mobile Client Deployment Kit > Mobile
Client Configuration Editor:
To define a client configuration, make the following minimum configuration
settings:
- In the Mobile
Client Configuration Editor pop-up window, select File > Open...
to open the Open dialog box.
- Choose 8e6client.msi
for Windows or 8e6clientInstaller.mpkg.tar for Macintosh OS X
workstations, and then click Open to open that file. As a result
of this action, the path and filename of the opened package displays
at the bottom of the window, and some fields and checkboxes now
become activated.
- Click the
ellipses (...) button to the right of the Mobile filter host(s)
field to open the Add/Remove Mobile Filter Host(s) dialog box.
- Add the public
IP address or hostname of your mobile filter host(s), clicking
Add for each entry.
- Click OK
to close the dialog box and to display your entries in the Mobile
filter host(s) field.
- Select File
> Save as... and choose a filename, or select 8e6client.msi
or 8e6clientInstaller.mpkg.tar to overwrite the original file.
Other options:
- "Force
auto-reboot even if user is logged in during installation":
Normally, the Mobile Client is installed during the workstation
boot cycle when the Windows Group Policy manager runs a software
assignment policy. If another mechanism is used to deploy the
installation, it's possible that the user may be logged in at
installation time, and will be presented with a reboot prompt.
Checking this box suppresses that reboot prompt and forces an
immediate reboot of the workstation, ensuring the Mobile Client
will be loaded and active as soon as possible. However, this forced
reboot will not provide the end user with an opportunity to save
files and close applications.
- "Block
all URLs if filter cannot be found":
This is the normal / default setting. If the workstation should
be permitted unfettered Internet access when the mobile Web Filter
server is unavailable, uncheck this box. Be aware that deselecting
this option may allow technically savvy end users to bypass filtering
permanently by disrupting communications between the workstation
and the mobile Web Filter server.
