JITA Configuration

JITA Configuration allows the administrator to view and modify lists of users and groups that are allowed to access devices using just-in-time authentication (JITA).

JITA-enabled users will be able to access some devices for which policies created in the Device Class Configuration or Simple Configuration view have been restricted.

Scenario—A Simple Configuration policy is configured to deny all non-device administrators access to the DVD/CD-ROM drive.

Result—A JITA-enabled user who attempts to access the DVD/CD-ROM drive receives the same “access denied” message as a non-JITA-enabled user. Then a balloon message is displayed, asking if the user would like JITA access. If the balloon is clicked, the Authenticate User dialog box opens. When the user enters credentials successfully, access is granted to the DVD/CD-ROM drive.

The JITA period can be authorized for a set number of minutes or 0 minutes. A JITA period of 0 minutes will not expire. Users will have access to the device from the time they authenticate until the time they log off the system.
