ProcedureTo Edit Client Types

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

    By default, Identity Management is selected in the Header frame (the top horizontal frame) and Organizations is selected in the Navigation frame (the left vertical 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 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 edit (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 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 client that you want to edit (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 client types that start with the letter S, type in S*.)

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


  8. Click the Edit link in the Actions column for the client that you want to edit.

    The Edit client-type page is displayed. The General properties are displayed by default.

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

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


    Tip –

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


  11. 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.

  12. To verify that its properties are changed, find your client type in the Client Type list. Two asterisks added to the client type name indicate that you have customized this client type.


    Note –

    Whenever you change a default client type, a Default link is added to the Actions column. The Default link points to the internal library.

    To remove your changes and reset the client type’s properties to their default values, click this link. A prompt asking whether you want to complete this action is not provided.
