Product nomenclature: This is cumulative documentation and the product names you encounter in this documentation were accurate at the time of publication. Ivanti updates each new section to reflect evolving product nomenclature, but leaves legacy citations intact to ensure proper frame of reference for the reader.

General features

  • Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) Vendor Support: Ivanti MTD now supports Lookout as a new vendor. The new vendor is listed in the MTD activation configuration page for new installations and upgrades. For more information, see Ivanti Mobile Threat Defense Solution Guide for EPMM.

  • A heads-up on mandatory mutual authentication in the 11.12.0.0 release: Before you can upgrade from 11.11.0.0 release to 11.12.0.0 release, your EPMM systems must have client mutual authentication enabled between Mobile@Work and EPMM. For more information, see Upgrade Ivanti EPMM using System Manager.

  • Introduced Stale LDAP Users: In this release, a new “Stale LDAP users” is introduced in the “To” dropdown on the Ivanti Admin Portal under Device & Users > Users. In previous versions, administrators wouldn’t be able to track inactive or disabled LDAP users. On the Users page, we introduced a new status column, “Stale LDAP Users” which shows “No” for active LDAP users and “Yes” for deleted or disabled LDAP users. For local users, it shows as “N/A”. This feature only works with Microsoft Active Directory, and users from other LDAP systems show N/A. For more information, see Managing LDAP users.

  • Introduced Connect Timeout field: In this release, the Connect Timeout field is introduced on LDAP Setting, if there is an unreachable server, it searches for the user on the second LDAP server, and the connection times out at the specified interval. For more information, see Configuring LDAP servers.

  • New edit option for Safari Domains on Windows integrated touch devices: You can now edit Safari Domains information, such as domain name and description, in the Edit VPN Setting window from the Windows UI touch screen. For more information, see Configuring new VPN settings.

  • Introduced EULA : From this release onwards, users get to see the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) pop up message while upgrading the software from previous versions to the latest versions on Ivanti System Manager. The user needs to select “Yes” to agree to the end-user licence agreement to proceed further. For more information, see Upgrade Ivanti EPMM using System Manager. For more information, see Upgrade Ivanti EPMM using System Manager.

  • New user SID certificate extension: Based on this article KB5014754, Certificate-based authentication changes on Windows domain controllers (microsoft.com), specifically for the Enterprise Certificate Authorities. In this release, Ivanti provides the ability to generate certificates with a non-critical extension and a SAN URI with a SID value. Administrators can generate certificates for end-users, which are used for certificate-based authentication with Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) expected to have an SID in the certificate. First, we need to pull that SID value into EPMM.

  • Synchronized AD LDAP user SID and make it available as an attribute: A new field User Security Identifier is added in the LDAP settings to read objectSid value from the LDAP user. LDAP settings should have User SID populated only when Active Directory is selected; field name = 'User Security Identifier', value = 'objectSid'. For more information, see Configuring LDAP servers. Use this SID value in the certificate enrollments, so that in the certificate enrollment request, the user can ask the Certificate Authorities to provide a certificate with this SID value. Ivanti EPMM has several certificate enrollments options.

  • Local Certificate Enrollment Setting: In this release, a new Microsoft User Security Identifier check box is added to the Local Certificate Enrollment Setting. Once the user enables this Microsoft User Security Identifier check box, Ivanti EPMM will generate the new certificates with that identifier. A non-critical extension will be added with OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.25.2 and the value of substitution variable $USER_SID$. For more information, see Configuring Ivanti EPMM as an independent root CA.

  • SCEP Certificate Enrollment Setting: In this release, a new Microsoft User Security Identifier check box is added to the New SCEP Certificate Enrollment Setting for centralized and decentralized. Once the user enables the Microsoft User Security Identifier check box, it will generate the new certificates on behalf of devices with LDAP identifier. By default, the Centralized check box will be enabled. For Decentralized you must enable the Decentralized check box along with the Microsoft User Security Identifier check box, and in the Subject Alternative Names, select the Type as Uniform Resource Identifier and Value as tag:microsoft.com,2022-09-14:sid:$USER_SID$, it will generate a certificate with SAN as expected for an Apple device. For more information, see Configuring SCEP.

  • OpenTrust Certificate Enrollment Setting: EPMM now supports the SID value in the certificate requests sent to OpenTrust, provided the OpenTrust profile supports it. For more information, see Configuring OpenTrust CA.

  • DigiCert Web Services Managed PKI Certificate Enrollment Setting: EPMM now supports the SID value in the certificate requests sent to DigiCert, provided the DigiCert profile supports it. For more information, see Configuring Symantec Web Services Managed PKI.

  • Software Updates: When an OS update is performed, the fields captured by the device from the OS update response should be shown in the device details.

    Android features

    • Set managed app config settings that are required to be sent to the device: In many cases, the default values of Android Enterprise managed app configurations may or may not be made available; Ivanti EPMM will still send these default settings to the device, thus causing unwanted settings on the device. Administrators can now choose the behavior for constructing managed app configurations. By default, Ivanti EPMM only pushes settings with valid values defined to device/app. Now a new option allows administrators to push all settings, irrespective of the value. This allows for apps with different behaviors to be compatible with Ivanti EPMM. It is recommended to only change this setting if defaults are causing issues with app performance. This applies to Ivanti EPMM upgrades and new installations. Applicable to Android Enterprise and Android Open Source Project (AOSP) mode in-house and public apps.

    • Android Enterprise Enable Single App Kiosk added to pin a single app to device screen: Administrators can select the Enable Single App Kiosk check box and then select the (single) app to pin to the device screen. This setting allows one app to be pinned to the device screen in most conditions. The dedicated single app mode will allow other apps to be available on the device, but they will not be available for the device user to directly launch. These other apps will only be launched through the pinned app. For example, Email is the pinned single app, and the device user receives an email with a link to the Google Maps app. When the device user taps on that link, it opens the Google Maps app.

      The pinned single app will be launched only when it is part of the Allowed App list, the Kiosk Mode Allowed Apps list, and installed on the device. Applicable to Work Managed Device mode (DO) and Work Managed Device-non-GMS mode (AOSP).

      Note the following:

      • Single app Kiosk is only applicable to regular Kiosk mode. Single app kiosk can only be exited remotely from the Ivanti EPMM Admin Portal > Devices page. Mobile@Work displays the toast message "Kiosk Exit" in the app but the dedicated single-app may still remain on screen, as it cannot be closed due to Android limitations.
      • The Lock Task mode can only be enabled when the home screen is in the foreground. If the dedicated single-app is in the foreground, then it is not possible to enable Lock Task mode.

        Workaround: Device user must tap the back or home button; the Lock Task mode becomes enabled.

        On devices Android 9 and below, when the single app Kiosk is disabled, then the device user may need to tap the back/home button to see the Kiosk home screen again. The launched app may remain pinned to the foreground and the Kiosk home screen may not display due to Android limitations

        For regular kiosk mode information, see Creating a shared-kiosk-mode policy for the shared kiosk users in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices

        For shared-kiosk mode, see Setting the kiosk policy for Android managed devices in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices.

    iOS and macOS features

    • Remote Authentication and Apple ID Default Domains for Shared iPads: In iPadOS 15 and below, Shared iPad required the device be connected to the internet when a user signs in. In iPadOS 16+, Shared iPad defaults to using the local passcode for existing users on the device, thus reducing the need for an internet connection. Ivanti EPMM administrators can choose to always enforce remote authentication, or by setting the number of days, provide the flexibility to determine when the remote passcode changes take effect on the existing cached sign-ins. Administrators can also set the default domains to make signing in to Shared iPads easier.

    • New Global Policy to configure apps per label in bulk: Administrators can create global policies with different app settings (silent install, auto-update, mandatory, etc.) and can assign it to different labels. By creating a global policy, administrators can avoid editing each app and configuring the settings. When viewing and editing the per-label settings, administrators can set the app to default to the global setting so only the settings that are different for that label need to be changed. For more information, see Global App Config Settings policy in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices.

    • Create a default label name: Starting with the 11.6.0.0 release, administrators had the ability to manually create a label (for Windows, Windows Phone or macOS) that does not contain any criteria. After it is created, the label automatically becomes a default label and cannot be removed or edited. Upon upgrade to version 11.7.0.0, Ivanti EPMM does not apply these labels to devices because they do not contain criteria. Administrators must apply the labels manually.

    Android features

    • Support for Private DNS: On fully-managed devices running Android 10 or later, the administrator can specify whether the device should use a private DNS server for encrypted domain name resolution, and if so, which one.

With this release, the checkbox will still be disabled by default. But if Save User Password is enabled and then disabled, a pop-up message appears, warning that all stored passwords will be deleted.

    • Unregistered devices can now redirect to Ivanti EPMM from Office 365: With this release, when a user of an unregistered device tries to access Office 365 services, they will be redirected to a Mobile@Work enrollment page for device registration (https://<Ivanti EPMM fully qualified domain name>/mifs/aadIntuneEnrollment.jsp). This feature is dependent upon a correctly-configured enrollment URL for iOS and Android in the Device Compliance settings.

    • Support for Sentry-to-Ivanti EPMM TFE mutual authentication: With this release, Ivanti EPMM supports mutual authentication (MA) with Sentry through a Trusted Front End (TFE). The TFE server will verify the mutual authentication before forwarding it to Ivanti EPMM. The minimum version requirements are:

      • Ivanti Standalone Sentry - 9.15.0 and newer versions
      • Ivanti EPMM - 11.5.0.0 and newer versions

      Note the following

      • Ivanti EPMM initiates mutual authentication only if Sentry is running 9.15.0 or newer software.
      • If you would like a copy of the TFE server configuration template for mutual authentication, see your Ivanti EPMM support representative.

      For more information, see Advanced: Trusted Front End in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.

    • New "Retire Pending" status for devices slated for retirement: In previous releases, when a device administrator retired a device, if the device owner chose not to acknowledge the action, it was difficult to know whether or not the device really was retired. In this release, a new Retire Pending device status in the Devices & Users > Devices page displays when a device has been retired from Ivanti EPMM, but has not yet checked in to confirm the action.

    • Information access control tightened within Roles - Previously, information that was meant to be seen only by users with certain roles could potentially be viewed by unauthorized roles. With this release, Ivanti EPMM users will not be able to view information outside of their designated roles.

    • LDAPS over SSL (LDAPS) protocol recommended for this release: Ivanti recommends that you adopt Lightweight Directory Access Protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (LDAPS) on port 636 when upgrading to the Ivanti EPMM 11.6.0.0 release. For more information, see Configuring LDAP servers in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM Guide.

    • PIN and password device authentication strongly recommended: New installations of Ivanti EPMM 11.6.0.0 and higher will default to the device authentication choice of PIN+Password. We suggest that current Ivanti EPMM administrators consider the security benefit of a PIN plus a password for device registration and adopt PIN+Password going forward.

    • Tooltip added to "Enabling Server Name Lookup" field: In the Ivanti EPMM Settings > System Settings > Users & Devices > Device Registration page, there is a radio button "Enable Server Name Lookup." A tooltip was added for administrators to follow specific, important instructions. For more information, see "Enable Server Name Lookup" in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide of your OS.

    • Redirect device users to the Mobile@Work app page from the Enrollment and the Remediation pages:

      • If an iOS device is not enrolled in Azure Active Directory (AAD) and the device user launches any of the Office 365 applications, the default Ivanti EPMM Enrollment page displays the Install Mobile@Work button that directs the device user to the Mobile@Work app store page.
      • If the enrolled device is out of compliance and the device user accesses any of the Office 365 applications, the default Ivanti EPMM Remediation page displays the Open Mobile@Work button which launches the Mobile@Work application.

    • New "Upgrade" audit log captures Ivanti EPMM upgrade user information: There is a new Upgrade log file option available in the System Manager > Troubleshooting > Logs > View Module Logs section. With this release, when an administrator upgrades Ivanti EPMM, an audit log entry is created, listing the time, user ID, and IP address of the person doing the upgrade. For more information about Ivanti EPMM logs, see Working with logs in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.

    • More visibility in run-time logs when a Ivanti EPMM update check fails: Previously, when an administrator clicked the Check Updates button in the System Manager > Maintenance > Software Updates section, if there were problems retrieving the information, there was only the message "Software repository is not configured," with no way to log and view these issues. With this release, if Ivanti EPMM attempts to check for system updates and fails, a new upgradeStatus module displays in the live logs, showing the relevant information.

    • Changes to the identity certificate alias make selecting the right one easier: Previously, identity certificates were given an alias such as CERTIFICATE_22_9013_15 with the word CERTIFICATE as the prefix. With this release, identity certificates will be given more admin-friendly names such as MSSCEP-TUNNEL_22_9013_15, with the prefix being the certificate enrollment configuration name.

    • New Device User Role for control of SSP "Trust/Untrust" feature: A new role is available to device users, giving them rights to use the Trust/Untrust feature in the Self-service User Portal (SSP). The Trust/Untrust feature allows a device user to self-designate his device as Trusted or Untrusted, depending upon the locational risk. For example, a device user might designate his device as Untrusted while in a busy airport. This feature is disabled by default for new users. A device administrator can enable it for users through the Users > Actions > Assign/Edit Roles > User Portal roles list. For more information, see Assigning user portal device management roles in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide.

    Android Features

    • Administrators can copy existing managed app configuration settings and download updates:
      • In the Ivanti EPMM App Catalog, Administrators can go into an edited app and copy managed app configurations to experiment with new settings that app developers may have released. This helps prevent Administrators having to manually go through the entire managed app configuration schema just to create a duplicate configuration for testing.
      • Under the Configurations Choices section of an edited app, Ivanti EPMM will notify Administrators if there's a new schema to download.

      For more information, see App configuration for Android Enterprise apps in the Ivanti EPMM Apps@Work Guide.

    • Additional warning added for retiring devices: When retiring a device, a warning has been added to alert administrators that devices in Device Owner mode or Work Profile on Company Owned Device mode are wiped or erased and the action is not reversible. Administrators need to read the warning and check the box before retiring the device(s). For more information, see Retiring a device in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices.

    • Clarification on iOS and tvOS labels: Previous Ivanti EPMM versions had an "iOS" label and a "tvOS" label. The definition for the "iOS" label was to include both iOS and tvOS devices, causing confusion. Ivanti EPMM now has two labels:

      • "iOS label" (for iOS devices only)

      • "iOS and tvOS" label (to mean both iOS and tvOS (Apple TV)

        There is still a "tvOS" label.

      For more information, see Default labels in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM Guide.

    • For iOS 11 devices, new parameters added for the AirPrint payload: Port and ForceTLS. For more information, see AirPrint settings in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    • Sorting and filtering of Apple Device Enrollment account and profiles: Apple Device Enrollment Account list page now allows for sorting and filtering. The Device Enrollment Profile list page also allows for sorting. For more information, see Creating an Apple Device Enrollment Profile and Managing Apple Device Enrollment accounts in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    Windows features

    • Support for Windows Bridge Service Failure Recovery options: In some rare cases, the Bridge Service fails without a known reason. In Ivanti EPMM 11.6.0.0, Bridge Service failure recovery is pre-configured, thus allowing device users to continue using the Bridge Service without any major issues. Applicable to Bridge release 2.1.14.0.

      The new 2.1.14.0 version of the Bridge application is automatically imported into the App Catalog for Ivanti EPMM 11.6.0.0 and higher releases. This Bridge version will be pushed to Windows devices as they check in. For more information, see "Bridge Server Failure Recovery" in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Windows devices.

    General features

    • New force retire option: New Force Retire Option: Usually, when you issue a Retire command for a device, it is moved to a Retired state and is considered "Retire Pending." Sometimes the devices remain in the Retire Pending state. Ivanti EPMM offers a Force Retire check box to make sure the device is Retired. You can also schedule the retirement of Retire Pending devices. For more information, see "Retiring a device" and "Retiring the Retire Pending devices" in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide of your OS.

    • Online release notes now include previous releases: With this release, online release notes becomes cumulative, and you will be able to see releases back at least one current and one prior base release. For example, the online Ivanti EPMM 11.5.0.0 release notes include release information from Ivanti EPMM 11.5.0.0, 11.4.1.0, and 11.4.0.0. PDF release notes will continue to include only the current release details, with links to the earlier information online.

    • New verification of TLS server certificates: Transport Layer Security (TLS) server certificates used to secure Ivanti EPMM systems require Certificate Revocation List (CRL) Distribution Point (DP) extensions. Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), is not supported at this time. Previously, an Administrator could upload a TLS certificate that Ivanti EPMM does not support. With this release, Ivanti EPMM validates that a TLS server certificate includes a CRL DP extension in four actions: activation of the certificate in System Manager, activation of the mutual authentication feature, inclusion in a certificate pinning policy, and inclusion in a certificate pinning request. A TLS server certificate that doesn't pass these four validation checks will generate a message, explaining the error.

    • Support for bridging old and new client mutual authentication CA certificates: Previously, updating a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate for client mutual authentication required re-registering all devices currently enrolled under that certification. With this release, you can:

      • Upload and select a new client mutual authentication certificate for devices going forward
      • Retire the previous certificate, while still allow existing devices to check in.

      For more information, see Mutual authentication between devices and Ivanti EPMM in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your operating system.

    • Ivanti EPMM support for Splunk Heavy Forwarder mutual authentication: With this release, Ivanti EPMM supports the Splunk Heavy Forwarder for secure mutual authentication to Splunk. The feature is enabled from the System Manager Settings > Data Export > Splunk Indexer page, where you can add, modify, delete and view your Splunk indexer information. For full information, see Data export: Splunk in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.

    • Updated Splunk Forwarder supports Splunk Enterprise Server 8.x: The Splunk Forwarder in Ivanti EPMM now supports Splunk Enterprise Server 8.x. For more Splunk information, see the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.

    • New option to enforce only one Local User: In high-security environments, it is a best practice to allow only one Local User to be enabled. Once installation is complete, use the CLISH limitUser command in the Configuration Wizard to limit the number of Local Users to one (this feature has no effect on the number of LDAP users). Once installed, you will need help from Ivanti customer support to change this configuration. Attempts to create another Local User from the Ivanti EPMM Devices & Users > Security > Local Users menu generates an error message explaining the prohibition. In high availability (HA) environments, a reboot is required after a failover to re-enable the restriction. For more information, see Managing local users in the Admin Portal in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM.

    • Support for mutual authentication between Ivanti EPMM and Sentry: Ivanti EPMM 11.5.0.0 now supports mutual authentication with Sentry by default. Minimum version requirements are:

      • Ivanti EPMM - 11.5.0.0 and newer versions
      • Ivanti Standalone Sentry - 9.15.0 and newer versions

      Ivanti EPMM will only initiate mutual authentication if Sentry is running 9.15.0 or newer software.

    • Registration passcode expiry time now configurable: Previously, when registration invitations were sent, a registration PIN number was generated that was good for five days (120 hours). With this release, you can customize the number of hours the registration password is valid, from 4 hours (the default) to a maximum of 72 hours. For more information, see Setting passcode and registration code defaults in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM Guide.

    • Ivanti EPMM support for Apache Log4J logging utility version 2.17.1: In this release, Ivanti EPMM support for Log4J logging utility has been upgraded to 2.17.1, to avoid any possibility of a zero-day vulnerability in earlier versions. This update should not affect your system behavior.

    • More context for some audit logs: Previously, audit logs only included information about what was changed. With this release, some logs (configurations, policies, labels, compliance groups, rules and actions) will also include the "before" values as well as the "after." You can view the logs from the Ivanti EPMM Logs > Audit Logs page. Logs with before and after values display an icon you can click to see the new information. The new log information is generated for the following actions:

      • Create - the "Before" column will be empty.
      • Edit or change - Both before and after values display.
      • Delete - The "After" column will be empty.

      For more information, see Audit log information in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your OS.

    • Ivanti EPMM installation on Hyper-V 2016 server is supported: With this release, Ivanti EPMM can be installed on a Microsoft Hyper-V 2016 server.

For more Hyper-V information, see Virtual Ivanti EPMM requirements in the On-Premise Installation Guide for Ivanti EPMM and Enterprise Connector.

    • New customization options for the self-service user portal (SSP): Three new customization options are available in this release:

      • Hide or display the QR code and registration URL: A new configuration check box has been added to the Settings > System Settings > Users & Devices > Device Registration page that allows you to choose whether or not to show users a QR code and registration URL. This option is enabled by default. When deselected, the QR code and registration URL do not display to users.

      • Hide or display the self-service portal (SSP) Activity page: A new configuration check box has been added to the Settings > System Settings > General > Self-Service Portal page that allows you to choose whether or not to show users their activity in the SSP. This option is enabled by default. When deselected, the SSP Activity page does not display to users.

      • Hide or display the Settings option: Previously, the Settings option was always visible to client users from the SSP Action menu (upper-right, under user name). In this release, the administrator has the option to remove the Settings link from the SSP Action menu. Two new check boxes are available from the Ivanti EPMM General > Self-Service Portal > Self-Service Portal page:

        • Show settings for local users - Deselecting this option disables the Settings menu for local users.
        • Show settings for LDAP users - Deselecting this option disables the Settings menu for LDAP users.

        These settings determine whether or not clients can see the Settings option in the SSP Action menu.

      For more information, see Disabling options in the SSP in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your operating system.

    Android Features

      Work Profile on Company-owned devices

      Manage personal apps for Work Profile on Company-owned Android devices: Previously, company-owned devices using Work Profile had no app management options for the personal side of their device. The user had full freedom to install any app on their Personal Profile. This freedom may not always meet organizational guidelines for a corporate-owned asset.

      With this release, administrators can now control the apps a user is allowed to install in the Personal Profile of their managed device (for devices running Android 11.0 and above). The new options are available from the Ivanti EPMM Policies & Configs > Policies > Lockdown policy > Android Enterprise section:

      Enable app control on Personal Profile – When enabled, you can select your level of app management:

      • Allowed Apps – Only allow apps that are explicitly added to this list. No other apps can be installed.
      • Disallowed Apps – Allow all except these specific apps from being installed. Choosing an option displays the Packages table, where you can add, delete, and save the app packages on your list.

      You can view your selections from the Ivanti EPMM Devices & Users > Devices > View logs on devices > Policies tab. For more information on Lockdown policies, see Lockdown policies in the Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM guide.

    • New Security policy options for Android managed devices: In this release, you have new Security policy options for Android Enterprise devices.

      Android Enterprise Mode Security option

      Device Owner or
      Work Profile on Company-owned devices

      Enable Security Logging on Android - When enabled, information is collected for security auditing purposes. These help admins identify suspicious activity by remotely tracking device activity, including app launches, Android Debug Bridge (adb) activity, and screen unlocks. These logs become available to administrators on demand. To protect the privacy of the user, some information (such as personal app launch events) are hidden, or redacted (for example, details of the physical volume mount events).

      For all Android Enterprise devices

      Enable Network Logging on Android - When enabled, network and connectivity information is collected. Network logging can be used to troubleshoot any issues with device connectivity for work apps and can be used for historical forensics. Once enabled, Ivanti EPMM allows administrators to collect the logs on demand. Network logs contain DNS lookup and connect() library call events. These library functions are recorded while network logging is active:

      • getaddrinfo()
      • gethostbyname()
      • connect()

      When network logging is enabled for Work Profile devices, the network logs will only include work profile network activity, not activity on the personal profile.

      You can view your selections from the Ivanti EPMM Devices & Users > Devices > View logs on devices > Policies tab. For more information on these policies, see Security Policies in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM Guide.

    • Full device passcode attributes: For Android 12 devices in Work Profile mode, complex password type and password length are not supported. As a result, they are reported in Ivanti EPMM as "Unsupported." For more information, see Security policies in Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM Guide.

    • Always-On VPN for AOSP for Android Enterprise devices: In AOSP mode, you can have Always-On VPN status for devices using Android 10 and later supported versions.

    • Android 7+ Inventory MAC address: To preserve device user privacy, on Android 7+ devices, Ivanti EPMM accepts a randomized MAC address for inventory purposes and now also collects true physical MAC address for inventory. Inventory MAC is the hardware-based MAC that is reported after a device is registered and is only available for company-owned modes, namely Device Owner mode and Work Profile on Company Owned Device mode. Inventory MAC support is also available via substitution variables. For more information, see Inventory MAC address in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices.

    • Corporate wallpaper for Android devices: This new feature for corporate owned Android devices allows the administrator the option of distributing an image as wallpaper and as a Lock screen image. The image will automatically be applied to the device. This feature is only supported in Work Managed Device mode. For more information see Setting wallpapers for devices in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices.

    iOS and macOS Features

    • OS Software update command removed from menu: Administrators will now only be able to set OS Software updates through a policy. In Devices & Users > Devices page, the Actions menu item has had the following options removed: 'iOS Software Update" and "macOS Software Update." This applies to iOS and macOS devices. See Configuring iOS and macOS software updates in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    • Software update recommendation cadence: Administrators can set a user's device to allow all available, the highest available, or the lowest available OS software update.

    • Dynamic Privacy Policy presentation: When a device user is registering their device via iReg or with in-app registration, the privacy policy will display. The privacy policy is dynamic, based on the enrollment type. This feature is only applicable to iOS devices. For more information, see the Mobile@Work 12.11.50 for iOS Release Notes.

    • Account-driven Apple User Enrollment: User Enrollment can now be set up so device users can self-enroll in MDM User Enrollment from the Settings page on their device. This feature uses the device user's managed Apple ID, making their devices managed. Once enrolled, administrators can view information in the Apple User Enrolled Device field in the Device Details page. There is required action that must be taken by the device users. See Account-driven Apple User Enrollment in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    • Changes to User Enrollment: The following configurations and policies are no longer applicable to User Enrollment.
      • Configurations > System > Multi-User Secure Sign-In

      The format is:

      <%PRI%>1 %TIMESTAMP:::date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME% %APP-NAME% %PROCID% %MSGID% %STRUCTURED-DATA% %msg%

      The format RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23Format is the format specified in the IETF internet-draft ietf-syslog-protocol-23, which is very close to Syslog Standard RFC5424.

      For information about Ivanti EPMM logs, see Working with logs in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.

    • Swedish and Hungarian languages now supported in Ivanti EPMM: Two new languages, Swedish and Hungarian, are now supported and available in Ivanti EPMM 11.4.0.0 and supported newer versions. For more information about how to select the languages you want to use for messages, applications, and setting and changing the default language, see the chapter Language Support in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your operating system.

    • Certificate pinning to prevent Man-in-the-middle attacks: Man-in-the-middle attacks would allow an attacker to impersonate a Ivanti EPMM server and send commands to the device. This results in device compromise and confidential data leakage. To prevent this, a new Pinned Server Certificate policy has been added to deliver a set of certificates that clients can expect a Ivanti EPMM server to present during check-in and similar traffic. This feature is applicable for post-first-time use, for steady-state assurance that the client is connecting to the correct Ivanti EPMM. If none of the certificates configured match the active certificate in use on the Ivanti EPMM server, then devices will strictly honor the pinning policy and fail to connect until a correction of the certificate pinning policy is sent.

      This pinning policy supports multiple entries to enable a smooth transition when the Ivanti EPMM server's certificate is about to expire. Administrators can include the renewal certificate before it is active on the server and keep the expiring certificate in this policy for seamless transition to the renewed certificate. Ivanti advises administrators to set up Ivanti EPMM system certificate expiration alerts to be warned the Ivanti EPMM server certificate is about to expire.

      Any Certificate Pinning policy created in Ivanti EPMM 11.2.0.0 will be disabled upon Ivanti EPMM 11.3.0.0 upgrade. Ivanti EPMM will not push that policy. Instead, if / when the Admin edits the Certificate Pinning policy, Ivanti EPMM will push the policy using a new Ivanti EPMM property.

      Applicable to Mobile@Work for iOS 12.11.30 devices and supported later versions. Also applicable to Mobile@Work for Android 11.3.0.0 devices and supported later versions. For more information about certificate pinning and devices, see Configuring certificate pinning for registered devices in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices or in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    • Certificate pinning options now available from Certificate Mgmt page: You can now enable certificate pinning from the System Manager > Security > Certificate Mgmt page. There, you can add certificates, generate a pinning request, and upload your pinning statement. For information about enabling and configuring certificate pinning, see Configuring certificate pinning for registered devices in the Certificate Mgmt section of the Security Settings chapter of the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    • Reminder to enable mutual authentication: Ivanti EPMM now requires mutual authentication with managed devices for a more secure connection. If Ivanti EPMM is installed or updated to 11.4.0.0 release and mutual authentication has not been enabled, a red reminder banner will display in a ribbon just below the Admin portal masthead. To enable mutual authentication, go to Settings > System Settings > Security > Certificate Authentication > Client Mutual Certificate Authentication page. Once enabled, the banner does not appear again. For more information about mutual authentication, see Mutual authentication between devices and Ivanti EPMM in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your operating system.

    • Ivanti EPMM M2700-series on-premise appliance now available: The M2700 series large-scale deployment appliance provides a tightly-integrated solution comprised of a standardized appliance with the resources necessary for larger deployments, and dedicated QA certification of all Ivanti EPMM functionality. For information about the latest Ivanti EPMM appliance, see M2700 Series appliance in the On-Premise Installation Guide for Ivanti EPMM and Enterprise Connector.

    • 'Enable' password complexity requirements are now the same for Ivanti EPMM CLI and Ivanti EPMM UI: With this release, the complexity requirements for creating an enable password from the CLI are the same as when it is created in the Ivanti EPMM user interface. The password must be:

      • Between 6 and 20 characters in length
      • At least one numeric character

      Additionally, the CLI continues to check whether or not the password is based on a word in the dictionary. Case sensitivity and special characters are not required.

    • New option to upload Certificate Authority chain for SCEP enrollment configurations: With this release, you can upload a specific Certificate Authority chain for Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) enrollment configurations. In some cases, the SCEP CA may send more CA certificates than desired. When you need to use a specific certificate chain, use this feature to upload that exact chain. If you do not upload a CA chain, Ivanti EPMM continues its previous behavior of using the CA certificates directly acquired from the SCEP server.

      The upload option is available only for SCEP enrollment configurations. Certificate enrollment settings such as System - Mutual Auth CE setting use a local CA, which is already available on Ivanti EPMM.

      For upload instructions, see "Uploading a Certificate Authority chain for SCEP enrollment configurations" in the Configuring SCEP section of the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices or in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.

    • New Azure Device Attributes in Compliance Policy Builder: Support for the following device attributes in compliance policy builder. These attributes should be available in common category.

      • AzureDeviceId
      • AzureClientStatusCode
      • AzureIntuneDeviceStatus
      • AzureIntuneStatusUpdatedAt
      • AzureUserUpn

    • Users redirected to Ivanti EPMM after Microsoft Azure consent: This feature adds a redirect URL in the Ivanti EPMM device compliance on prem app for better user experience. The user will redirected back to the Ivanti EPMM application from the active directory consent page.

    • Support for Entrust API version 11: Entrust Managed public key infrastructure (PKI) Services with API version 11 is supported with this release.

    Android and Android Enterprise features

    • Unique enrollment-specific ID: This new feature provides a unique ID that is guaranteed to be the same value for the same device, enrolled into the same organization by the same managing app. It will remain stable across factory resets or new profile inflation. Access to other hardware identifiers of the device such as IMEI, MEID, or serial number, is removed for personal devices with a work profile in Android 12. This is effective for new installs and post-upgrade to Android 12. Supported modes are Work Profile, Work Profile on Company Owned Device, and Work Managed Device. Please note that the ID will change when the same device is enrolled to the same tenant but uses a different managing package; a new unique ID is presented when the device registers to a new Ivanti EPMM instance.

    • New Update Priority field in App Configuration for Android enterprise section: Update Priority field provides the ability to control the app updates behavior on Android Enterprise Devices. Allows admins to set the priority of updates. High Priority setting forces updates on the device immediately after it is available. Postpone for 90 days delays app updates so updates are not applied until 90 days after the update is available. Default mode allows app updates to be available as decided by the Google Play store.

      Minimum Version Code field provides the ability to make sure the provided (minimum, it can be higher than the provided version) version of the app is installed on the Android Enterprise device. As defined by specification minimum app version code is 7 digit numeric code (1234567) which is the minimum version of the app to be installed on the device.

      For example, the installed version of the Whatsapp App is 2.19.10.15 and the latest version available is 2.21.18.17, the minimum version code an admin could enter in EMM console could look like 2210000. In this case app will be upgraded to 2.21.18.17 meeting the minimum version criteria specified by admin. Admins should note this functionality forces an immediate app upgrade and could force an active app session to close abruptly for the upgrade to complete.
