You can also annotate PDF files that are opened in the Acronis Access app. Note: If the Access mobile app hasn't connected to a Gateway or Management server for more than 30 days, the users will not be able to use it to edit documents. In this section SmartOffice Limitations ...................................................................
By Contents - this option searches for files with the desired search term in their file contents. Search results will also include files and folders with the search term in their name. In order for By Content search to function, the Acronis Access Gateway server has to have Windows Search services running and configured to index the files being shared with Acronis Access. If your IT administrator has not installed Windows Search, you will only be able to search By Name.
Note: The Acronis Access iOS client is designed to not play sound if the ringer is off. If you're previewing audio or video files with the ringer off, there will be no sound.

When doing a copy or a move, items can be transferred from server to server, from the device to a server or from a server to the device. For more information on copy and move with the clipboard see the Clipboard Overview (p. 12) section. In this section Folder Options..........................................................................
Bookmark This Folder -- Create a shortcut to this folder. Refresh – Update the content of the folder to display the latest content from the server. Sync This Folder – Sync the contents of this folder to your device for offline use. This can be done as a 1-way (server to device only) or 2-way sync. Selecting Multiple Files or Folders Use Edit mode to select multiple files or folders to copy, move or delete. 1. Tap the Edit button on the Browse pane's top menu bar. 2.
Note: SharePoint 2007 does not allow the renaming of a checked-out file. It is allowed in SharePoint 2010. Bookmarking Folders The Access Mobile Client allows you to bookmark folders that you commonly use, so that you can quickly navigate to them in the future. These folders can reside within the local My Files storage area, within sync folders, or on a network server or folder.
Tap the Folder Action Menu and select Bookmark This Folder. Rename the bookmark, or accept the default name, and tap Create. The bookmark will now appear in the Bookmarked folders list. To remove a bookmark using a swipe: Swipe across the bookmark you'd like to remove. A Delete button will appear. Tap the Delete button. To remove a bookmark using the Edit button: Tap the Edit button at the top of the Home menu. All bookmarks will appear with a red 'minus' icon to the left of them.

Choose the sync folder type: 2-way Sync Folder - Files are initially synced from the server to your device. Any changes made on the server-side or client-side are synced.
You can remove any sync folders that you've added. Please note that sync folders automatically assigned to your Access Mobile Client app by your Acronis Access management policy can only be removed by your IT administrator. Removing a sync folder deletes the synced content from your device only, the corresponding folder on the server and all files within that folder will not be changed or deleted from the server.
Background syncing Acronis Access client 4.5 or later supports background syncing. This means that you can close the Acronis Access app and your files will continue to sync seamlessly. This will continue for 10 minutes after closing the app, after that the syncing will stop. The iPad 1 does not support multitasking and will stop the process when closing the app. Emailing Files To email files from the Access Mobile Client application: 1.
Files stored in the My Files area can be accessed at any time, even when you are not connected to the network. Availability of Open In Some applications have not yet implemented the iOS Open In feature, which allows files to be sent to other applications. If your favorite app is missing Open In, we encourage you to send the developer feedback requesting the functionality. Using the Active File Drawer Pressing the button will open the Active File Drawer. Here you can view every currently open file.
To enable Apple Data Protection, you must have an iOS Passcode Lock set on your device. To configure a passcode for your device: 1. Tap Settings > General > Passcode Lock. 2. Tap Turn Passcode On and follow the prompts to create a passcode. 3. Once a Passcode Lock is set up, Apple Data Protection will be automatically supported by iOS.

Enter a display name and tap Save. 2.1.3.7 Using SmartCard authentication Introduction Smart cards can authenticate identity and usually employ a public key infrastructure (PKI). The card stores an encrypted digital certificate issued from the PKI provider along with other relevant information. Smart cards can be used with a smart card reader to authenticate a user.
Note: You will not be able to enroll your device in Client Management with smart card authentication if you do not have your card and/or reader inserted. 4. Upon enrollment (or card removal and reinsertion), Acronis Access will send you to the PKard Reader app for authentication of your card's PIN. Manually adding a server and using Smart Card authentication 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Verify that you have the PKard Reader app installed. Insert your Smart Card into the reader. Open the Acronis Access app.
when it attempts to connect to a Gateway server. In order for authentication to take place, an SSL user identity certificate must be added to the Access Mobile Client app. Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, including the Apple iPhone Configuration Utility, allow you to add certificates to an iOS device. Certificates added in this way are placed in an Apple specific section of the iOS Keychain and are only available to built in Apple services and applications, such as VPN and the Mail app.
To send and install the file using email: 1. Compose an email to the user and attach the certificate file to the email. Ensure that you’ve removed the extension from the certificate file, as described above. 2. When the user receives the email on their device, they simply have to tap the attached file and choose “Open in Acronis Access" from the pop-up menu. 3. Acronis Access will start and the user will be prompted to confirm they want to add the certificate to Acronis Access . 4.
Configurations in the Active Directory .....................................................43 Advanced Delegation Configurations ......................................................47 Configurations in the Active Directory This guide will help you configure the Windows Active Directory elements needed for Kerberos Constrained Delegation authentication. Create a Kerberos Service Account 1. Log in to your KDC server as an administrator. 2.
5. Click Next. Password: Enter a password. Password never expires: Ensure that User must change password at next logon is not selected. Typically, in the enterprise, the User cannot change password and Password Never Expires fields should be selected. 6. Click Next. 7. Click Finish. Create a keytab for the Kerberos Service Account When you create a keytab, the Sentry service account is concurrently mapped to the servicePrincipalName. 1. On the KDC server, open a command prompt window 2.
3. Click on Users. 4. Find and select the Kerberos user account that you created in "Create a Kerberos Service Account". 5. Right-click on the account and select Properties. Click on the Delegation tab. Select Trust This User For Delegation To Specified Services Only. Select Use Any Authentication Protocol. 6. Press Add…. 7. Press Users or Computers…. 45 Enter the computer name of the Acronis Access Gateway Server. Click on Check Names.
The correct computer name should appear in the object name box. 8. Click OK.
9. Find and select the "http" service in the Add Services window. 10. Click OK. Note: For a large deployment with multiple Gateway Servers you should repeat steps 6 through 10 for each Gateway Server. However, for the initial setup, it's best to begin with a single Gateway Server hosting some local test folders. Once you have confirmed access to those, then you can expand to additional Gateway Servers and non-local folders.
7. Click Add. 8. Click Users or Computers. 9. Search for the sever object for the SMB share or SharePoint server and click OK. For SMB shares, select the cifs service. For SharePoint, select the http service. 10. Repeat these steps for each server that the Acronis Access Gateway server will need to access. 11. Repeat this process for each Gateway server. These delegation changes, can take a few minutes to propagate depending on the size of the domain forest.
