About Devices
A Device is a computing entity (for example, a desktop, smartphone, or IoT device) with an installed OpenVPN client that accesses the WPC.
A Device is a computing entity (for example, a desktop, smartphone, or IoT device) with an installed OpenVPN client that accesses the WPC.
A Device consumes services accessed by connecting to the WPC. CloudConnexa can also allow communication between connected devices.
Devices are associated with the identity of the device's User. You can control the number of devices a User can use by setting a default allowance. Refer to Set the default device allowance for Users. You can specify which devices are authorized to connect to your WPC by enabling DIVE. Refer to Set the Device Identity Verification & Enforcement (DIVE) policy for Users.
A Device entry is created automatically for the User in CloudConnexa when the User authenticates and imports the connection profile. Automatic distribution of the connection profile is the default mode. Refer to Set the profile distribution mode for Users. You can also add a Device to a User manually when you want to distribute the Device's connection profile by other means.
It is important to keep the OpenVPN Connect App installed on devices and always updated to the latest version. During connection, the OpenVPN Connect App provides information about the device, such as the UUID, operating system, etc. This information is displayed in the Administration Portal and used for policy enforcement.
