AppConnect passcode policy

One AppConnect passcode controls all AppConnect (secure) apps on the device.

The server administrator determines whether to require an AppConnect passcode. If it is required the administrator also determines:

• the complexity of the AppConnect passcode (such as length, whether it must be numeric or alphanumeric, and how many complex characters are required)
• the auto-lock time for the AppConnect passcode, after which the device user must re-enter the passcode
• passcode history rules
• passcode age rules
• whether to block or retire the AppConnect app when the maximum number of failed attempts exceeds the value set in the AppConnect policy (The options to choose to block or retire are not available on Ivanti Neurons for MDM)
• whether the device user can reset the passcode
• passcode strength rules (not available on Ivanti Neurons for MDM)
• whether the device user can also use a fingerprint as a convenience to access secure apps

The AppConnect wrapper, along with the Secure Apps Manager and the client app, manages the AppConnect passcode. No additional app development is necessary.

Although not common, some apps require that certain screens are not interrupted by the auto-lock timeout. See Ignoring the auto-lock time.
