Proximity Template
This template creates a configuration that hides or denies access to applications in the session based on the proximity of the local device to a given position. It can be found in the COMPLIANT APPLICATION ACCESS
category when filtered for LOCAL
platform.
If the local device is not in proximity to a given position, you can choose between two actions:
- Hides applications with FSLogix App Masking based on the proximity to a given position.
- Denies access to applications with Microsoft AppLocker based on the proximity to a given position.
deviceTRUST requires some simple but essential configuration steps to be performed to enable the template for your local environment. We will guide you step-by-step through simple deviceTRUST configuration steps to enable the template within your local environment.
We will perform the following steps:
Step 1: Prerequisites
If the required deviceTRUST components (Agent, Console and License) are not yet installed, please visit the Getting Started for Local guide and complete step 1 to 4 and then continue here with step 2 below.
Step 2: Contexts
The template has imported the following context:
Context | Description | Customizations |
---|---|---|
Proximity
|
Defines the proximity to a given position.
|
You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:
LOCAL - LOCATION POSITION In Range 500 METERS FROM 0,0,…
Replace 0,0 with your target position and define the range to the given position on all conditions. Example: 49.8971,8.9258 |
- 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 an FSLogix App Masking and a Microsoft AppLocker enforcement action that actively controls access to applications, depending on the technology available. By default both actions are disabled.
Action | Description | Default State | Customizations |
---|---|---|---|
Proximity - Conditional Application Access - Enforcement - FSLogix App Masking
|
Hides applications with FSLogix App Masking based on the proximity to a given position.
|
Deactivated
|
You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:
FSLOGIX APP MASKING
Replace ENTER_YOUR_FXA_PATH_HERE with your target .fxa file path on all FSLogix App Masking tasks. Example: %ProgramFiles%\FSLogix\Apps\Rules\NotepadPlusPlus.fxa TERMINATE APP
Replace ADD_PROCESS_NAME_X with your target process name on all Terminate App tasks. Example: notepad++.exe |
Proximity - Conditional Application Access - Enforcement - Microsoft AppLocker
|
Denies access to applications with Microsoft AppLocker based on the proximity to a given position.
|
Deactivated
|
You must update the following context condition with data suitable for your environment:
MICROSOFT APPLOCKER
Replace ENTER_YOUR_PATH_HERE with your target configuration on all Microsoft AppLocker tasks. Example: %PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe |
- If both actions have been disabled, the contexts will still be created.
