To Create a New Device by Inheriting Properties

1. Log in to the Access Manager administration console as the administrator.

   By default, Identity Management is selected in the Header frame and Organizations is selected in the Navigation frame.

2. Click the Service Configuration tab.

3. From the Service Configuration frame on the left, under the Access Manager Configuration heading, click the arrow for Client Detection.

   The Client Detection global preferences appear in the Data frame on the right.

4. Click the Edit link following the Client Types label.

   The Client Manager interface appears. Details about HTML devices are displayed by default.

5. From the tabs at the top, click the markup language for the device you want to copy (for example, WML).

   If client types using the markup language you selected are in the database, they appear in alphabetical order.

6. From the Style pull-down menu, pick the default Style that you want (for example, Nokia).

   The list of client types already in the database appears for the selected style.

7. From the Client Type list, scroll down to find the specific client that you want to use as a template for a new client type (for example, Nokia6310i_1.0).

   Tip –

   Clients are listed in alphabetical order.

   To go directly to a specific client type, or to a group of client types, use the Filter option. In the Filter text box, type in the first character or first few characters of the client type you want to view and then click the Filter button. (For example: To find a client type that starts with the letter S, type in S*.)

   To go directly to specific pages, scroll to the bottom and use the arrows or the Go option.

8. Click the Duplicate link in the Actions column for the client type that you want to use as a template for a new client type.

   The Duplicate Device page is displayed. The Client Type and Device User Agent properties for the device you are copying are displayed, with the prefix Copy_of_ added to its name. (For example, Copy_of_Nokia6310i_1.0)

9. If appropriate, type in new names for these properties.

10. Click Duplicate to make these changes.

    The Edit client-type page is displayed. The General properties are displayed by default. The values for all properties views available here are inherited from the client type that you used as the master for this new client type.

    Tip –

    To return to the display of client types without making any changes, click Cancel.

    ---

11. From the Properties pull-down menu, select which type of properties you want to change (for example, Software Platform).

12. Change or add values for each property you want to alter.

    ---

    Tip –

    To clear your values and start over, click Reset. To return to the display of client types without making any changes, click Cancel.

    ---

13. Click Save to make these changes.

    ---

    Note –

    If you do not click Save, your changes are not made. You must change one property type at a time and save those changes before you change another property type.

    ---

    The properties for this device are now changed, and the list of client types for this style appears.

14. Search the Client Type list to verify that your client type duplicate is available. Two asterisks added to the client type name indicate that you have customized this client type. (For example, Copy_of_Nokia6310i_1.0 **)

    ---

    Note –

    Whenever you add a new client type, a Delete link is added to the Actions column. The Delete link points to the external library.

    To remove your new client type, click this link. A prompt asking whether you want to complete this action is not provided.
