Client Types

In order to detect client types, Access Manager needs to recognize their identifying characteristics. These characteristics identify the properties of all supported types in the form of client data. This attribute allows you to modify the client data through the Client Manager interface. To access the Client Manager, click the Edit link. Out of the box, Access Manager contains the following client types:

• HDML

• HTML

• JHTML

• VoiceX

• WML

• XHTML

• cHTML

• iHTML

For descriptions of these client types, see the Sun Java System Portal Server, Remote Access Administration Guide at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1293.1?l=en.

Client Manager

The Client Manager is the interface that lists the base clients, styles and associated properties, and allows you to add and configure devices. The Base client types are listed at the top of Client Manager. These client types contain the default properties that can be inherited by all devices that belong to the client type.

Client Type

Style Profile The Client Manager groups all available clients, including the Base client type itself, in the Client Type list. For each client, you can modify the client properties by clicking on the device name. The properties are then displayed in the Client Editor window. To edit the properties, select the following classifications from the pull-down list:
