4. Open the Settings tab. 5. Select the desired device enrollment requirements Acronis Access includes two device enrollment mode options. This mode is used for all client enrollments.
Download enrollment invitations as CSV - The entire or filtered invitations list can be exported to a CSV file and opened in Excel or imported into a custom process. Using basic URL enrollment links when PIN numbers are not required: If your server is configured to not require PIN numbers for client enrollment, you can give your users a standard URL that will automatically start the enrollment process when tapped from the mobile device.
7. Choose the number of days you'd like the invitation to be valid for in the Number of days until invitation expires field. 8. Choose the number of PINs you'd like to send to each user on the invitations list. This can be used in cases where a user may 2 or 3 devices. They will receive individual emails containing each unique one-time-use PIN.
The email guides them through the process of installing the Access Mobile Client and entering their enrollment information. If the Access Mobile Client app has already been installed, and the user taps the "Tap this link to automatically begin enrollment..." option while viewing this email on their device, Acronis Access will automatically launch and the enrollment form will be displayed.
If their management policy requires an application lock password, they will be prompted to enter one. All password complexity requirements configured in their policy will be enforced for this initial password, and for any change of their application lock password in the future.
A confirmation window may appear if your management policy restricts the storage of files in Acronis Access or disables your ability to add individual servers from within the Access Mobile Client app. If you have files stored locally in the Access Mobile Client app, you will be asked to confirm that any files in your My Files local file storage will be deleted. If you select No, the management enrollment process will be canceled and your files will remain unchanged.
1.4 Managing Gateway Servers The Acronis Access Gateway Server is the server contacted by the Access Mobile Clients that handles accessing and manipulating files and folders in file servers, SharePoint respositories, and/or Sync & Share volumes. The Gateway Server is the "gateway" for mobile clients to their files. The Acronis Access Server can manage and configure one or more Gateway Servers from the same management console.
Support for content search of shared is enabled by default, and can be enabled or disabled by checking this option. You can enable or disable content searching for each Gateway Server in the Edit Server dialog.

In the setup example we will use three separate machines. One of them will act as our File Repository and Database and the other two as both Access and Gateway servers. Below you can see a guide on how to configure this setup. This guide will provide the details necessary to properly load balance the Acronis Access product in your environment. On the server that will be hosting your PostgreSQL database and File Repository, perform the following steps: 1. Start the Acronis Access installer and press Next.
6. After finishing the installation procedure, proceed with going through the Configuration Utility. a. You will be prompted to open the Configuration Utility. Press OK. b. Select the address and port on which your File Repository will be accessible. Note: You will need to set the same address and port in the Acronis Access web interface. For more information visit the Using the Configuration Utility and File Repository (p. 56) articles. c. Select the path to the File Store.
2. In the Access installer, choose Custom, and select only Acronis Access Server and Acronis Access Gateway Server and continue with the installation procedure. 3. After finishing the installation procedure, proceed with going through the Configuration Utility. a. You will be prompted to open the Configuration Utility. Press OK. b. On the Access Server tab: Enter the address and port on which your Acronis Access management server will be reachable (i.e. 10.27.81.3 and 10.27.81.4).
Note: If you don't have a certificate, a self-signed certificate will be created by Acronis Access. This certificate should NOT be used in production environments. 4. Navigate to the Acronis Access installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\Access\Access Server\ ) and edit acronisaccess.cfg with a text editor. 5. Set the username, password, and internal address of the server that will be running the PostgreSQL database and save the file.
c. The Client Enrollment Address should be the external address of your load balancer (i.e. mylb.company.com). Select your Color Scheme. Enter the DNS name or IP address of your SMTP server Select the language for the Audit Log messages. Under the SMTP tab: Enter the port of your SMTP server. If you do not use certificates for your SMTP server, unmark Use secure connection?. Enter the name which will appear in the "From" line in emails sent by the server.
5. Create a Cluster Group and add all of your Gateway servers to it. Your primary server should be the one you have already gone through the Setup Wizard on. For more information visit the Cluster Groups (p. 41) article. Note: Please make sure that you have already configured a correct Address for Administration on each Gateway before proceeding. This is the DNS or IP address of the Gateway server. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. Expand the Mobile Access tab. Open the Gateway Servers page.

your TMG server to get it working with Acronis Access. To use TMG as reverse proxy and firewall for your Acronis Access server you need to create two separate networks on your TMG computer: internal and external. The two TMG network adapters should be properly configured, one with a private (internal IP address) and one with a public (external IP address). The Acronis Access server should be part of the internal network.
5.4.2.1 Understanding Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) Network Topology Forefront TMG includes four different network templates, that can fit in your existing network topology. It is important to choose the most appropriate for your organization option. After installing TMG, the Getting Started Wizard will appear, where you need to make initial configuration to your TMG.
Single Network Adapter - This topology enables limited Forefront TMG functionality. In this topology, Forefront TMG is connected to one network only, either the internal network or a perimeter network. Typically, you would use this configuration when Forefront TMG is located in the internal corporate network or in a perimeter network, and another firewall is located at the edge, protecting corporate resources from the Internet.
HTTP authentication: Basic authentication - The user enters a username and password which the TMG server validates against the specified authentication server. Digest and WDigest authentication - Has the same features as the Basic authentication but provides a more secure way of transmitting the authentication credentials. Integrated windows authentication - Uses the NTLM, Kerberos, and Negotiate authentication mechanisms.
Verify that your CA is in the list of trusted root CAs: 1. On each edge server, click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type mmc, and then click OK. This opens an MMC console. 2. On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in. 3. In the Add Standalone Snap-ins box, click Certificates, and then click Add. 4. In the Certificate snap-in dialog box, click Computer account, and then click Next. 5.
5. On the Client Connection Security page select Require SSL secured connections with clients and click Next. 6. On the Web Listener IP Addresses page select External and click Next.
7. On the Listener SSL Certificates page select Use a single certificate for this Web Listener and click the Select Certificate button. Select the appropriate certificate and click the Select button to confirm your choice. 8. Confirm that the correct certificate appears on the Listener SSL Certificates page and click Next. 9. On the Authentication Settings page choose the type of authentication you'd like Acronis Access to use when it contacts the TMG reverse proxy server, and click Next.
103 SSL Client Certificate Authentication - Use this option if you'd like the Access Mobile Client app to authenticate with the TMG reverse proxy with an SSL user identity certificate. This certificate must be added to the Access Mobile Client app before the user can authenticate with the TMG reverse proxy server. Additional instructions can be found here. http://support.grouplogic.

The components of the Good Dynamics platform include: Good Control server - A server-based console that allows the enterprise to enable client access to Good Dynamics enabled apps, create policy sets that govern application permissions and the device types they are allowed to run on, and the ability to revoke access to or wipe Good Dynamics apps on specific devices.
5.12.2 Testing a trial version of Acronis Access for Good Dynamics The process of trialing Acronis Access for Good Dynamics is very much the same as a regular Acronis Access trial. 1. A trial version of the server-side software can be requested by visiting the Trial page. Once this request form has been submitted, you will receive an email with links to download the Acronis Access server trial installer and to the Quick Start Guide to assist in initial setup. 2.
On the Acronis Access for Good app page, click the Get Application button to request a trial or licensed version of the app. https://begood.good.com/gd-app-details.
If you select a trial version of the app, your access should be granted within a few minutes. You should receive a notification from the beGood site when your request has been accepted and notifying you that the Acronis Access for Good app as been published to your Good Control server. Once this has happened, log into your Good Control server and click Manage Applications in the lefthand menu. Acronis Access should now be listed as a Partner app in your managed applications list.
In the Server Info box, enter the DNS name or IP address of your Acronis Access Gateway server. The Port number is usually 443, unless you've configured Acronis Access to run on a non-standard port. All communication between Acronis Access clients and the Gateway servers occurs on port 443 by default. Click the 'Check' button to save this change. 5.12.3.
In the Additional Servers box, enter the Gateway server's DNS name or IP address and it's port, then click the "+" icon to add it to the list. The default Gateway server port is 443. 5.12.4 Good Dynamics Policy Sets and Acronis Access The Acronis Access for Good Dynamics app respects the policy settings included in a user's assigned Policy Set. Policy sets are configured on the Good Control server.
apps that include this feature. This functionality is be available, even with the Good Control Data Leakage Protection policy setting enabled. An upcoming version of Acronis Access for Good Dynamics will add the ability to transfer files directly between the Acronis Access for Good Dynamics app and other 3rd party Good Dynamics apps.
4. Select Acronis Access for Good from the list of available applications and click OK. To generate an Access Key that will allow a user to enroll their Acronis Access for Good app with Good Dynamics: 1. Select Manage Users from the lefthand menu in the Good Control console. 2. Select the user you'd like to create an Access Key for. 3. On the Access Keys tab, select the number of keys you'd like to send and click the Provision button.
5.12.6 Enrolling the Acronis Access client app in Good Dynamics The Acronis Access for Good client app available on the Apple App Store http://www.grouplogic.com/web/megoodappstore is purpose build as a Good Dynamics integrated application. When first installed on a device, the Acronis Access app starts and required the user to activate it in your Good Dynamics system. To enroll a Acronis Access client app in Good Dynamics: 1. Launch Acronis Access for Good Dynamics on your device. 2.
4. If required by your Good Dynamics policy, you will be asked to set an application lock password. If you are also using Good for Enterprise, Acronis Access may require that you log into Good for Enterprise in order to gain access to the Acronis Access app. 5. Once this process is completed, you will be taken to the Acronis Access application's home screen.
From this point on, when you start the Access Mobile Client app, you may be required to enter the Acronis Access for Good Dynamics application password that you configured earlier, or you may be required to authenticate with your Good for Enterprise app before Acronis Access opens. Aside from that requirement, Acronis Access for Good Dynamics functions the same way that standard Access Mobile Client does. Some features in the app may be restricted based on your Good Dynamics policy set.
5.13 MobileIron AppConnect support In this section Introduction ...........................................................................................131 Testing a trial version of Acronis Access with AppConnect ...................131 Creating an AppConnect configuration and policy for Acronis Access on your MobileIron VSP Activating the Acronis Access iOS client with AppConnect ...................136 Ongoing AppConnect management of Access Mobile Clients ...............
The iOS device also needs to have the MobileIron Mobile@Work app https://itunes.apple.com/app/mobilecho/id320659794 installed before any AppConnect-enabled apps can be activated. When you are ready to activate Access Mobile Clients with AppConnect, please proceed to the following sections of this document. 5.13.3 Creating an AppConnect configuration and policy for Acronis Access on your MobileIron VSP Before you can start on-boarding Acronis Access users (p. 22).
Within App Settings, click Add New and select Configuration in the AppConnect menu item.
Within this new AppConnect App Configuration, enter the following information: Name – This can be any name you’d like to assign to this configuration. You may create more than one configuration and assign those configurations to different MobileIron labels. Description – This can be any description you like. Application – This must be set to the Bundle Identifier of the Access Mobile Client app, which is: com.grouplogic.
enrollmentAutoSubmit - This key is optional. This will cause the enrollment form to be submitted automatically, so that they user does not have to tap the “Enroll Now” button to proceed. To enable this key, set its value to: Yes requirePIN – This key is optional.
Allow Open In - Select this option if you would like to allow Acronis Access users to open files into other applications on the device. If selected, this option will also allow you to specify a list of specific apps that are allowed. 5.13.3.3 Assign labels to the new Configuration and Container Policy In order for these new policies to be applied to mobile devices, ensure that you assign the MobileIron labels for any required users to both the Configuration and the Container Policy. 5.13.
the Acronis Access app, tapping the MobileIron AppConnect option towards the bottom of the settings list, and selecting the Enable button. If the AppConnect setup does not begin immediately, please leave the Acronis Access app open for a few minutes to allow it to begin. Once setup begins, it will proceed as described in the previous scenario. If the Mobile@Work app is not present on the device, Acronis Access will display a warning on this Settings menu rather than an Enable button. 5.13.4.
As this is a complex setup in order to reduce errors and simplify troubleshooting, it will be accomplished in two phases. The first phase will establish an AppTunnel using username/password to authentication to the Acronis Access server. This infrastructure will be built on in phase two to add on Kerberos Constrained Delegation. It is highly recommended to test the tunnel works with username/password authentication before moving on to Kerberos to eliminate steps in problem determination.
communication. Port 88 is used for Kerberos protocol communication. Port 389 (or 636) is used for the LDAP ping between Sentry and the KDC to verify that the KDC IP is the same as the Active Directory IP. If Windows Server 2003 is being used, the KDC may listen for requests on port 88 using UDP instead of TCP. You can force Kerberos to use TCP instead of UDP by changing the MaxPacketSize from 0 to 1 in the registry editor.
6 Configuring an AppConnect tunnel between the Access Mobile client and the Access server via username/password authentication The first step towards configuring an AppConnect tunnel between the Acronis Access mobile client and the Acronis Access server is to add and configure the Sentry to the VSP.

Fixed a problem where the Devices page could fail to load in mobilEcho Client Management server after Japanese and Chinese users have enrolled. mobilEcho 3.7 (Released: June 2012) ENHANCEMENTS: Improved performance of the mobilEcho Client Management server by caching user information to minimize the number of LDAP queries.
Add profile settings for allowing/denying the ability of users to create sync folders, and to perform a Quickoffice® "Save Back". The mobilEcho Client Management server can now be configured to store database and profile information in a different location than the application directory, allowing for the management server service to be failed over to other cluster nodes.
Added support for 2-way sync folders. Client-side changes made in 2-way sync enabled folders will be synced back to the server automatically. These 2-way sync folders can be provisioned through the mobilEcho Client Management server. Added support for reverse proxy authentication. Reverse proxy servers, such as Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG), can be configured to require authentication before granting access to internal network resources.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\mobilEcho\Parameters4\Refreshable\P ez\HideInaccessibleItemsOnReshares BUG FIXES: Fixed a problem where the mobilEcho Client Management server would not properly calculate an Active Directory home directory path if the associated 'Network reshare path mapping' included a trailing backslash.
Specific mobilEcho shared volumes or folders within shared volumes can now be assigned to user or group profiles. These shared volumes or folders are then automatically displayed in the mobilEcho client app. Shared volumes or folders assigned to user or group profiles can be configured to automatically one-way sync from server to mobilEcho client, making the contained files available for online or offline use.
Management profiles can now be disabled so that the corresponding user or group cannot receive their profile. Added the ability to prevent clients from connecting to servers with self-signed certificates. Added a management setting to enable or disable copying text from a previewed document. Added a management setting that tells the client to store files so that they are not backed up by iTunes. mobilEcho 2.0.
