Mobile device requirements for using derived credentials

To use a derived credential on a mobile device:

  • The device must be an iOS or Android device.

  • The device must be registered to MobileIron Cloud.

  • The device must have the MobileIron Go app installed.

  • An Android device must have the Secure Apps Manager app installed.

  • The app that uses the derived credential must be an AppConnect app.

  • The device must have an app that obtains derived credentials from a derived credential provider. This app is known as a derived credential app. The required app depends on the derived credential provider and device platform.

The following table shows the derived credential providers that MobileIron Cloud supports on iOS and Android, and the required derived credential app.
