How to Use the Initial Access Code Policy
This policy is used to log on to a computer when network access is unavailable. Meaning, access to the DDP Server and
AD are both unavailable. Only use the
Initial Access Code
policy if absolutely necessary. Dell does not recommend this
method to log in. Using the
Initial Access Code
policy does not provide the same level of security as the usual method of
logging in using User Name, Domain, and Password.
In addition to being a less secure method of logging in, if an end user is
activated
using the
Initial Access Code
, then there
is no record on the DDP Server of that user activating on this
computer. In turn, there is no way to generate a Response
Code from the DDP Server for the end user if they fail password and self help questions.
The
Initial Access Code
can only be used one time, immediately after activation. After an end user has logged in, the
Initial Access Code
will not be available again. The first domain login that occurs after the
Initial Access Code
is entered
will be
cached,
and the
Initial Access Code
entry field will not be displayed again.
The
Initial Access Code
will only display under the following circumstances:
• A user has never activated inside the PBA.
• The client has no connectivity to the network or DDP Server.
