ClientID
The client ID is a unique identifier that you assign when you initially install the Anywhere
USBManager. When you launch the Manager for the first time and log in, the Manager creates a
secure identity certificate that is associated with the client ID. This certificate is used to validate your
account with the Hub.
n
Stand-alone: If you installed the Manager as a stand-alone, the client ID and the certificate
identify the user's login credentials on the computer.
n
Service:If you installed the Manager as a service, the client IDand the certificate identify the
computer.
When the client IDand certificate have been created, the computer is able to connect to the Hubs that
recognize that client ID. Any other computer with the same client IDwill be rejected.
Note In some cases, multiple computers may inadvertently be used by multiple users that have the
same client ID. To fix this issue, see AnywhereUSBManager client IDis not unique.
Client ID length
The number of characters allowed in the Client ID field is variable and is dependent on UTF-8
encoding of the characters. Note that some characters are multi-byte characters, which reduces the
number of characters that are allowed in the field. Currently, the Client ID field is a maximum of 63
bytes encoded in UTF-8.
Assign a client ID to a user account
A client ID is assigned to user credentials the first time a user logs into a computer and launches the
AnywhereUSB Manager.
