Key-value pairs for customizing Email+ for iOS (Cont.)

You can configure and customize the following features with key-value pairs:

Table 1. KEY-VALUE PAIRS F CONFIGURING

Key

Value: Enter/ Select one

Description

Prompt the device user for password

prompt_email_password
(Core only)

  • true
  • false

true: Email+ prompts the user for the email password before attempting to connect to the email server. When Email+ first launches and connects to the email server, Email+ provides the user’s email password to the email server.

false: When Email+ first launches and connects to the email server, it does not provide the device user’s email password to the server. After establishing a connection with the email server, Email+ prompts the user for an email password. If the email server limits the number of password attempts, it counts the connection as one failed attempt.

Set the value of this key to true if the email server allows only a small number of password attempts. Example: It he email server allows only three attempts, setting this value to true ensures that device users get three attempts, not two attempts.

Default if key-value is not configured: false

allow_prompt_password

  • 0
  • 1

0 = users are allowed access without a prompt for a password.

1 = users are prompted for a password to access email.

Default if key-value is not configured: 1.

mail_password (Core only)

User’s password for the ActiveSync server

You can use the Core variable $PASSWORD$ if you have checked Save User Password in Settings > Preferences. Core then passes the user’s password as the value to the device.

If you plan to use the $PASSWORD$ variable, be sure to set Save User Password to Yes before any device users register. If a device user was registered before you set Save User Password, Email+ prompts the user to enter the password manually.

Ivanti recommends deleting the key if the password is not being saved on Core.

Default if key-value is not configured: Email+ requests device users to enter the password.

Keyboard extension

MI_AC_IOS_ALLOW_CUSTOM_KEYBOARDS

  • true
  • false

true: Email+ allows the use of keyboards extensions.

false: Email+ does not allow the use of keyboards extensions.

This key-value pair is case sensitive.

Default if key-value is not configured: false.

Enable Show Pictures

show_pictures_default
(Core only)

  • true
  • false

true: Enables the Show Pictures option. Device users automatically see images when opening an email.

false: Disables the Show Pictures option. Device users must tap Show Pictures to view images when opening an email.

Device users can override the value you configure by toggling the Show Pictures option on or off.

When changing the value of this key, Email+ does not change the Show Pictures option until after completing a full synchronization. A full synchronization occurs only when you change certain fundamental key-value pairs, like email_address, or when the device user uninstalls and reinstalls Email+ for iOS.

Default if key-value is not configured: false.

Photo library

allow_photo_library_access
