Configuring the PIV-D Entrust app for Android

 

Applicable derived credential providers and device platforms

Derived credential providers

Entrust

Device platforms

Android

 

A device user uses the MobileIron PIV-D Entrust app to activate Entrust derived credentials on a device after registering a device to MobileIron Core. This capability requires you to configure a key-value pair for the PIV-D Entrust app in its AppConnect app configuration. The value is a Core variable that contains the activation URL. Entrust provides the activation URL to Core when the user requests a derived credential on the self-service user portal. The PIV-D Entrust app receives the value when the user launches the app on the device.

You can also configure a key-value pair containing a unique device identifier that the app sends to the Entrust IdentityGuard server. This identifier allows an administrator to determine which device contains a given derived credential, allowing control around auditing and revocation.

Note that Core automatically creates an AppConnect app configuration for the PIV-D Entrust app for Android when you upload the app to the App Catalog. This procedure assumes you use that AppConnect app configuration.

Procedure 

1. On the Admin Portal, go to Policies & Configs > Configurations.
2. Select the AppConnect app configuration that Core automatically created for the PIV-D Entrust app for Android. It has the name PIV-D Entrust app, the configuration type is APPCONFIG, and the package name forgepond.com.mobileiron.android.pivd.
3. Click Edit.
4. In the App-specific Configurations section, add the case-sensitive key-value pairs:

 

Key

Value

Required key and value

MI_CREDENTIAL_ACTIVATION_URL

$DEVICE_PIVD_ACTIVATION_LINK$

Optional key and value

MI_CREDENTIAL_DEVICE_ID

A MobileIron Core substitution variable that uniquely identifies the device.

Examples:

$DEVICE_ID$

$DEVICE_UUID$

$DEVICE_IMSI$

5. Click Save.
6. Select the AppConnect app configuration that you just created.
7. Click More Actions > Apply to Label.
8. Select the labels to which you want to apply this policy.
NOTE: Core already labeled it with the same labels you applied to the PIV-D Entrust app for Android.
9. Click Apply.
