Icon Legend
Icons are used throughout the KeyConfigure user interface (and also by other K2 components) to indicate a particular type of item and also to indicate some further properities or state of the item. Often and icon is used by the interface as a handle for dragging an item or as a target for a drag-and-drop action. The table below may be helplful in deciphering the meaning of all these icons.
Note: administrators familiar with K2 version 6.0 should note that the Green Dot icon has changed its meaning. In 6.1, Green Dot means "Audited" (in 6.0, it meant "Ignored").

When computers display this icon an attempt to log on by anyone at that computer will fail with message KA-200, "The KeyServer [name] has denied [username] permission to logon. Launching a controlled program will get a similar denial, with s different message, KA-180: "The network KeyServer, which is required by KeyServer controlled programs, has denied [username] permission to logon.
Note that the message claims that the refusal is username-based when in fact it could be either user (authentication) or computer-based, depending.
Drag the computer record and drop it on the word Full in the upper left of the window to re-enable this computer's access to the KeyServer. Alternately you can doubleclick on the record and check/uncheck the Allow Connections From This Computer checkbox to limit/permit access. If neither of these actions remove the circle-slash icon (change the record to allow a prohibited computer to access the KeyServer), it may be that the KeyServer itself is full or the client computer has been prohibited for a computer-based (invalid TCP/IP Location or KeyAccess Version Number) or user-based (Authentication failure) reason.
