Remote Access Service

Everyware Cloud can manage per-account Remote Access Service. For more information regarding how to setup a Remote Access Service please see section the Remote Access Service Configuration section. To use the service, each account in the platform must be assigned to a Remote Access Service instance, How the assignment is done depends on the position of the account in the account hierarchy. For the following accounts the assignment must be done explicitly by the platform administrators:

• The root account (ec-sys)
• The level-one child accounts (the children of the root account)

For all the other accounts the assignment is inherited from the ancestor account. This means that all the account offspring of a level-one account share the same Remote Access Service instance.

While an account is in unassigned state its devices cannot establish connections through the VPN Service.
