Apps@Work

Starting from Ivanti Neurons for MDM release 83, you can transition to Apps@Work native experience from Go application. For newly created tenants the Apps@work Webclip configuration is not distributed by default for iOS devices that are installed through iReg or client. The administrator has to manually distribute the webclip config to the devices that are registered through iReg or client. Note the following points:

Ivanti Neurons for MDM administrative portal:

  • By default, only new tenants get the App Catalog for Native Client configuration distributed to iOS devices.
  • For existing tenants, by default, the Apps@Work Native application is not distributed.
  • The administrator must push the App Catalog for Native Client configuration to the devices to make Apps@Work available in a Native Appstore experience.

Client:

  • Go application now displays a tab for Apps@Work.
  • The App Catalog for Native Client configuration has the App Catalog Identity for Native Client certificate and App Station identity certificate. Ivanti Neurons for MDM pushes the certificates with the App Catalog for Native Client configuration.
