Encrypting device logs with your own certificate

You can define a log encryption configuration that enables device users to send encrypted logs to an administrator's email address from their devices. The configuration includes a certificate for encrypting logs and an email address to which encrypted logs are to be sent. Devices sync with MobileIron Core and receive the configuration after you assign the configuration to the relevant labels.

This feature requires:

  • Mobile@Work 10.0.0.0 for Android through the most recently released version as supported by MobileIron
  • Secure Apps Manager 8.3.0.0 through the most recently released version as supported by MobileIron
  • On the security policy, device log encryption must be on.
