Is there a way to blacklist a remote device?

Hi,

is there a way to blacklist a remote device from connecting to the server using the remote thing name/identifier.

Currently we have some old remote devices out in the world using the same identifier to connect.

  • If I create a server side thing for them to bind to I get lots of errors referring to multiple endpoints.
  • If I delete the server side thing I get errors because of failed binding requests.

Unfortunately we aren't able to physically find these remote things to upgrade the edge servers (or disconnect them). Really just looking for a way to stop the Application log collecting these errors.

 

Thanks in advance

K

You can whitelist not blacklist unless that has been updated in recent versions.

 

I would say that ability to blacklist is a great suggestion though.

Too late to do unique appkeys?

appkeys do have white listing capability as well.

 

perhaps that can help at least to weed out the old devices.

Hi,

think this might have legs. Are you saying that you can blacklist certain appkeys?
