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.

N o t e : 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.
