Password Protection
- In a corporate setup, CCS settings are determined by the Endpoint Manager profile applied to the endpoint.
- One of these settings is the ability to password protect access to the client interfaces. This stops unauthorized users from opening the local clients and making potentially damaging changes.
- Password protection blocks access to the settings area, the various ‘Tasks’ areas, and the right-click options of the CCS tray icon.
- Local users can, however, still run certain tasks. See Exceptions at the end of this section for more details.
There are two password options you can set in Endpoint Manager:
- Computer administrator - CCS requires a local admin password to access the settings area.
- Admins that are already logged-in can access the settings area without a password.
- All other users need to enter the admin username/password.
- Custom password - An unique key which is set in the Endpoint Manager profile.
- See https://help.comodo.com/topic-399-1-786-11186-Client-Access-Control.html for details on the difference between these passwords.
- CCS will request a password if a user tries to access a protected area:
Users can run the following tasks even if password protection is enabled in the Endpoint Manager profile:
