Configuring Locations
Locations in IDM identify the switch and/or ports on the switch and wireless access
points where users connect to the network. Users generally are allowed to log in to
the network from a variety of locations, IDM allows you to create customized
locations to match specific environments.
For example, a generalized company "location" may include all of the ports on a
switch, or multiple switches through which users can connect to the network. You
can define a lobby location as a single switch, or a single port on the switch, in order
to restrict access to the network for visitors attaching to the network in the lobby.
To configure a location:
Select the Locations node from the Identity Management Configuration navigation
tree to display the Locations pane.

IDM also lets you include wireless devices in the location configuration. Selecting
Enable Enhanced Wireless Support in IDM Preferences adds a wireless devices tab
to the Create a new Locations window.
