Over recent years, 10ZiG Thin & Zero Client Hardware
Specialists, have been earning quite a reputation in the VDI space for The
10ZiG Manager, 10ZiG's FREE Enterprise Centralized Management Software for
endpoints running on a 10ZiG OS in a virtual desktop environment - from x86
devices to laptops, tablets, or old, outdated endpoints, etc. Providing IT
Administrators with the choice of managing endpoints via traditional LAN/WAN or
the Cloud, The 10ZiG Manager is equipped with innovative, cutting-edge
features that make deploying and managing large volumes easy, and now even more
securely, regardless of location.
The Cloud Connector, an integral part of The 10ZiG Manager
Software Platform working in tandem with its Server, Console, and Web Manager
settings, now features integrated Cloud Agent Authentication. 10ZiG Cloud
Agents featured on 10ZiG Linux and Windows based endpoints can now be
authenticated via the Cloud Connector using the 10ZiG Cloud Connector
Authorization tool. Authorization codes can be issued to a single Client or
used by multiple Clients. This provides flexibility on authenticating each
individual Client, or group authentication based on for example, issuing to
temporary contracted workers.
When the appropriate setting is enabled for the 10ZiG Cloud
Connector, only remote Cloud Agents configured with an authorization within the
database would be authenticated to connect and register with The 10ZiG
Manager. Unauthorized connections would not be authenticated and would be
rejected. The authorization exchange is fully encrypted, as is the primary
Cloud Agent to the Cloud Connector after a Client is authorized, ensuring the
key exchange is not openly visible. Furthermore, the Cloud Agent Authorization
Code can be used in combination with the Cloud Agent Registration Code, the
latter which is used to automatically filter Clients into Management
Configuration Groups.
Vu Nguyen, 10ZiG Senior Software Engineer, "The primary goal of
the Cloud Agent Authorization is to prevent unrecognized or rogue devices from
registering themselves with The 10ZiG Manager. This new authentication feature
adds an extra layer of security, in that the connecting Clients can verify as
being part of the organization. IT Admins. can try it out for themselves with
our Free Demo program at 10ZiG.com."
