Extensible Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration to manage Pasteboard Permission pop-up: The Pasteboard Permission feature in iOS 15+ devices displays a notification banner or a pop-up asking the user permission before accessing the pasteboard content from another application. When an AppConnect application is launched, a pasteboard banner or pop-up appears.
The Extensible Single Sign-On configuration from the Ivanti Neurons MDM server lets you disable the banner or pop-ups from appearing on Ivanti Go for iOS or AppConnect applications. The AppConnect applications that do not support the Extensible Single Sign-On configuration will continue to use the pasteboard feature and display the banner or pop-up.The server pushes the Extensible Single Sign-On configuration 10 seconds after the MDM profile is installed. During this interval, the SSO Extension does not work.
The pasteboard banner or pop-up will continue to appear on iOS 15+ devices in the following scenarios:- If the device user performs copy or paste.
- While generating the AppConnect application logs (since the transmission of log files takes place through pasteboard).
- If an Ivanti Go for iOS or any AppConnect application does not support the Extensible Single Sign-on configuration.
