Secure target registration
To prevent unauthorized targets from registering with the Remote Control server, you can use tokens to authenticate the target.
Create a secure registration token on the server and distribute it when you install the target. The token is used to restrict new target registrations, or restrict updates to existing target details when you reinstall a target. After the target registers, the server sends an endpoint token to the target to replace the token that was used when it registered. The target uses the endpoint token to authenticate with the server each time it contacts the server.
The feature is controlled by the rc.enforce.secure.registration property in
the trc.properties file. Use the following values to configure the property.
- true
- Secure target registration is enabled. Secure tokens are used to authenticate a target when it contacts the server. The default value is true.
- false
- Secure target registration is disabled.
