Overview

 

The details of a back-end profile are editable at any time.

If you do not want to use the access key that was automatically generated by MCL-Mobility Platform, you can generate a new access key (see To Generate a New Access Key).

It is also possible to generate a static token (see To Generate a Static Token), to generate a different static token (see To Generate a New Static Token), and/or to deactivate it (see To Revoke a Static Token).

 

Step-by-step

a. If the back-end profile has an "Access Granted" information, click to deny the back-end profile access to the corresponding back-end service.

 

b. If the back-end profile has a "Not Allowed" information, click to grant the back-end profile access to the corresponding back-end service.

 

8. If required, go to the "Security" tab. If you are finished with the editing, proceed to step 11.

10. If required in the "Source IP Mask" option, add/remove the intended authorized IP addresses.

 

Remember that your edition must always consider the option's hint - "comma separated list of addresses and/or mask" (ex: 173.212.15.0/24,173.212.14.1).

 

 

11. Click to apply your modifications and return the page to "view mode".
