time Access Connections runs, it will detect and import the package silently.
5. 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.
