Setting an access code remotely

uplook can establish a connection with each computer, where monitor software operates, provided that it knows its IP address. It brings about the danger that unauthorised persons might access confidential data. To preclude such possibility, uplook authorises each connection with Agent, which involves comparing an access code stored in a database with a code stored locally on a user’s computer. If both codes are identical, the connection is established. Otherwise, it is not possible to establish the connection.

An access code can be set while adding a new user or editing an existing one. However, then a code is saved only in a database, and a user’s password stored by Agent remains unchanged.

To change both copies of an access code simultaneously (in a database and on a user’s computer), a connection has to be established with Agent. Then from the main menu select Agent Set Access Code... A dialogue box for an access code will be displayed on a screen.

In the Access code field enter a text consisting of maximum 64 characters. A text may include any characters, however initial and final space characters will be deleted. If the field is left blank, checking of an access code will be disabled.

After you click the OK button, a new access code will be forwarded to Agent and saved in a database.
