Restrict Wireless network connections.

Hani

Hello,

Is it possible to only allow certain SSID. For exemple i need to only allow users to connect to certain predifined Wireless network connections.

Thanks,

Hani,

    Hello Hani,

    thanks for the clarification. Device Control bases its decision only on the device - or better, with the device class it belongs to - and, in case of block bridged, the presence or absence of other active devices. It monitors only state changes (enable/disable), not the actual operation and the sole available actions are to disable the device or (for storage) set it to R/O.

    Thus, for example, you can't set the R/O attribute based on the file system on a medium or block (or allow) only specific network or short range connections. Think about it - if the wireless adapter would be disabled in response to a connection attempt to an "unknown" SSID you'd have a Catch22 - to re-enable the adapter one of the predefined SSIDs must be available but to detect the SSIDs the adapter has to be enabled.
