Country Template
This template creates a configuration that checks the country of the remote device. It can be found in the COMPLIANT APPLICATION ACCESS category when filtered for REMOTE platform.
If the remote device is not located within an authorized country, you can choose between two actions:
-
Hides applications with FSLogix App Masking within the session based on the country of the remote device.
-
Denies access to applications with Microsoft AppLocker within the session based on the country of the remote device.
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:
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Country | Defines the country in which the remote device is located. | None |
| Country Provider | Defines the country provider that reports the country of the remote device. | None |
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 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.
