Server Policy

• Required login frequency for resources assigned by this policy- sets the frequency that a user must log into the servers that are assigned to them by their policy.
  • Once only, then save for future sessions - The user enters their password when they are initially enrolled in management. This password is then saved and used for any file server connections they later initiate.
  • Once per session - After launching the Files Advanced mobile, the user is required to enter their password at the time they connect to the first server. Until they leave the Files Advanced mobile application, they can then connect to additional servers without having to reenter their password. If they leave the Files Advanced mobile for any period of time and then return, they will be required to enter their password again to connect to the first server.
  • For every connection - The user is required to enter their password each time they connect to a server.
• Allow user to add individual servers - If this option is enabled, users will be able to manually add servers from within the Files Advanced mobile application, as long as they have the server's DNS name or IP address. If you want the user to only have their policy Assigned Servers available, leave this option disabled.
  • Allow saved passwords for user configured servers - If a user is allowed to add individual servers, this sub-option determines whether they are allowed to save their password for those server.
• Allow File Server, NAS and Sharepoint Access From the Web Client - When enabled, Web Client users will be able to see and access mobile Data Sources as well.
  • Allow File Server, Nas and SharePoint Folders to be Synced to the Desktop Client - When enabled, desktop clients will be allowed to 1-way sync Network content.
    • Allow Two-Way Syncing of File Server, Nas and SharePoint Folders to the Desktop Client - When enabled, desktop clients will be allowed to 2-way sync Network content.

    Note: To enable the 2-way syncing of Network content for the desktop clients, you must also have allowed the following file and folder actions on the Application Policy tab: Creation (Adding for folders), Copies, Deletes, Moves and Renames.

• Allow User to Add Network Folders by UNC path or URL - When enabled, the mobile client users will be able to add and access network folders and SharePoint sites not assigned to them or not accessible through the existing Data Sources. The selected Gateway Server must have access to those SMB shares or SharePoint sites.
  • Block access to specific network paths - When enabled, allows the administrator to create and use blacklists of network paths which the users shouldn't be allowed to self-provision.
• Only allow this Mobile Client to connect to servers with third-party signed SSL certificates - If this option is enabled, the Access Mobile ClientFiles Advanced mobile will only be permitted to connect to servers with third-party signed SSL certificates.

  Note: If the management server does not have a third-party certificate, the client will be unable to reach the management server after it's initial configuration. If you enable this option, ensure you have third-party certificates on all your Gateway Servers.

• Warn client when connecting to servers with untrusted SSL certificates - If your users are routinely connecting to servers that will be using self-signed certificates, you may choose to disable the client-side warning dialog message they will receive when connecting to these servers.
• Client timeout for unresponsive servers - This option sets the client login connection timeout for unresponsive servers. If your clients are on especially slow data connections, or if they rely on a VPN-on-demand solution to first establish a connection before a Gateway Server is reachable, this timeout can be set to a value greater than the 30 second default. If you want the client to be able to change this through the Files Advanced mobile app, check Allow user to change this setting.
