Computer Certificate Template

This template creates a configuration that checks if the remote device does provide a valid computer certificate. It can be found in the COMPLIANCE CHECK category when filtered for REMOTE platform.

If the remote device does not provide a valid computer certificate, you can choose between two actions:

  • Denies access to the session if the remote device does not provide a valid computer certificate.
  • Displays a message in the session if the remote device does not provide a valid computer certificate.

deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your remoting and DaaS environments. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your remoting or DaaS environment.

We will perform the following steps:

  1. Step 1: Prerequisites
  2. Step 2: Contexts
  3. Step 3: Actions

Step 1: Prerequisites

If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console, Client Extension and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Remote guide and complete step 1 to 5 and then continue here with step 2 below.

Step 2: Contexts

The template has imported the following contexts:

Context Description Customizations
Computer Certificate
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 		 Defines if a valid corporate computer certificate is available on the remote device.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 		 You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:

REMOTE - CERTIFICATE ROOT NAME Equals ADD_ROOT_NAME
Replace ADD_ROOT_NAME with your root certification authority (CA) name.
Example: deviceTRUST Demo CA

REMOTE - CERTIFICATE ROOT THUMPRINT SHA256 Equals ADD_ROOT_THUMPRINT
Replace ADD_ROOT_THUMPRINT with your root certification authority (CA) thumprint SHA256 value.
Example: deviceTRUST Demo CA
Note:
  • If a context is not needed, it can be deactivated or deleted. In addition, the corresponding task sequence within the relevant action must be deleted too.

Step 3: Actions

The template includes a notifying action that displays a message to the user about a context status and an enforcement action that actively controls access to the session. By default, only the notifying action is enabled and the enforcement action is disabled.

Action Description Default State Customizations
Computer Certificate - Conditional Access - Enforcement Denies access to the session if the remote device does not provide a valid computer certificate. Deactivated None
Computer Certificate - Conditional Access - Notification Displays a message in the session if the remote device does not provide a valid computer certificate. Activated None
Note:
  • If both actions have been disabled, the contexts will still be created.
  • If both actions have been activated, the deny access task will take priority over the displaying of the notification message.
