When
Approve Remote Access
is enabled on a device, and you attempt to start a VPN connection or a remote desktop session through the FactoryTalk Remote Access Manager
, an authorization window appears on the remote device showing the username and IP address of the incoming user connection. The operator of the remote device can then allow or deny access to the device. If access is denied, a notification will inform you that the connection request was not allowed.Provide Feedback
