Configuring Infranet Controller Browser Access Restrictions (NSM Procedure)

Browser restrictions control from which Web browsers users can access an Infranet Controller sign-in page or be mapped to a role. If a user tries to sign into the Infranet Controller using an unsupported browser, the sign-in attempt fails and a message displays stating that an unsupported browser is being used. This feature also ensures that users sign into the Infranet Controller from browsers that are compatible with corporate applications or are approved by corporate security policies.

To configure Infranet Controller browser access restrictions:

1. In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
2. Click the Device tree tab, and then double-click the Infranet Controller device for which you want to configure browser access restrictions.
3. Click the Configuration tab. In the configuration tree, select the level at which you want to implement browser access restrictions:
   • Realm level—Select:
     • Administrators > Admin Realms >Select Realm > Authentication Policies > Browser to configure browser access restrictions for admin realms.
     • Users > User Realms > Select Realm > Authentication Policies > Browser to configure browser access restrictions for user realms.
   • Role level—Select:
     • Administrators > Admin Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Browser Restrictions to configure browser access restrictions for admin roles.
     • Users > User Roles > Select Role > General > Restrictions > Browser Restrictions to configure browser access restrictions for user roles.
4. Add or modify settings as specified in Table 1.
5. Click one:
   • OK—Saves the changes.
   • Cancel—Cancels the modifications.
