Securing and managing a wrapped iOS AppConnect app

A MobileIron server administrator configures how mobile device users can use secure enterprise applications. The administrator sets the following app-related settings that impact your wrapped app’s behavior:

• Authorization

• AppConnect passcode and Touch ID/Face ID policy

• Tunneling

• Certificate authentication to enterprise services

• Data loss prevention policies

• Custom keyboard control

• Log messages based on log levels

• App-specific configuration from the MobileIron server

  This capability requires some additional app development.

Additionally, the AppConnect passcode and the device passcode impact data encryption of AppConnect-related data such as configurations and certificates, and app-specific data. See Data encryption.

The following steps show the flow of information from the MobileIron server to a wrapped app:

1. The MobileIron server administrator decides which app-related settings to apply to a device or set of devices.

2. The server sends the information to the MobileIron client app on the device.

The MobileIron client app passes the information to the wrapped AppConnect app. The MobileIron client app and the AppConnect for iOS Wrapper Library enforce the app-related settings.
