Disabling Storage Hotplug

Rationale

Removable USB storage media can be used to steal data, execute unauthorized software, or introduce malware onto the device.

Instructions

Storage hotplug is disabled by default. If you need to disable it again later, follow these steps:

  1. In IGEL Setup, go to Devices > Storage Devices > Storage Hotplug.

  2. Deactivate Enable Dynamic Client Drive Mapping.

  3. Click Apply.

After this change, storage devices will no longer be automatically mounted when they are plugged in.
