- Administrators who modify CE settings now identified as also causing corresponding configuration changes: When administrators modify a certificate enrollment (CE) setting, they cause changes to configurations that use that CE setting. The modification history field now identifies the administrator who made the CE setting change as the administrator who caused the configuration changes. For more information, see "Certificate Enrollment settings" in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your OS: Android, iOS, or Windows.
- Event Center templates changes: The $SERVER_IDENT variable was removed from the $DEFAULT_POLICY_VIOLATION_MESSAGE variable and is now part of the Event Center template. Add the $SERVER_IDENT variable to the template to display server identity in an alert message. The $SERVER_IDENT variable is also a substitution variable in compliance actions. Use of this variable depends on whether the compliance action was updated from version 1 to version 2. For V1 actions, include this variable in the Event Center template or as part of the alert message text in the compliance action. For V2 actions, include this variable only as part of the alert message text in a compliance action. For more information, see "Customizing Event Center messages" in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your OS: Android, iOS, or Windows.
- New restricted Manage Devices role created for remove and push profile actions: The Manage Devices role includes the following permissions: Push profiles, Remove profiles, and Update Intune Compliance Status.

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.
For more information, see App configuration for Android Enterprise apps in the Ivanti EPMM [email protected] Guide.

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. [email protected] 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.

-
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, Core 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. Applicable to: Android 10+ devices in Work Managed Device mode. For more information, see Lockdown policy fields for Android Enterprise devices in Work Profile mode in the Getting Started with Ivanti EPMM Guide guide.
-
File Transfer Configuration: A new configuration File Transfer is available for Android devices. This configuration can be used to transfer files to the device and these files can be shared from [email protected] to other apps on the same device. Target apps consuming these files must support ContentURI to access files locally on the device.
For more information, see Android File Transfer Configuration in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for Android and Android Enterprise devices.
-
[email protected] auto-granted permissions reduced on all Android device versions: Administrators can provide device users more choice on Android 11 and below Work Profile devices by allowing the device user to choose whether [email protected] should be granted location permissions. The default behavior allows [email protected] to automatically grant this permission. In Core 11.7.0.0, when the [email protected] auto-grant location permission check box is selected, the administrator would see a warning in Core and device users would receive a prompt to grant [email protected] location permission during registration of devices in Work Profile mode.
Phone permission is required to collect device information. Phone permission allows [email protected] to get information about device identifiers such as IMEI. This permission was originally only available in Device Admin mode, but has been extended to Work Profile mode. Device user consent is required for [email protected] to have phone permission.

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. 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. The new prefix was applicable for all the certificate enrollment configurations. With this release, the new prefix is applicable to all certificate enrollment configurations except Single File Identity.

General features
-
Disabling "Save User Password" now clears all LDAP user passwords: Previously, the Save User Password checkbox in Settings > Ownership settings was disabled by default. However, if it was enabled and then disabled, Core did not delete all the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user passwords already in its database. 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 Core 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 [email protected] enrollment page for device registration (https://<Core 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-Core TFE mutual authentication: With this release, Core supports mutual authentication (MA) with Sentry through a Trusted Front End (TFE). The TFE server will verify the mutual authentication before forwarding it to Core. The minimum version requirements are:
- Standalone Sentry - 9.15.0 and newer versions
- Core - 11.5.0.0 and newer versions
Note the following
- Core 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 MI Core 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 Core, 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, Core 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 Core 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 Core 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 Core 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.

- If the enrolled device is out of compliance and the device user accesses any of the Office 365 applications, the default MobileIron Core Remediation page displays the Open [email protected] button which launches the [email protected] application.
-
New "Upgrade" audit log captures Core 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 Core, an audit log entry is created, listing the time, user ID, and IP address of the person doing the upgrade. For more information about Core logs, see Working with logs in the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
-
More visibility in run-time logs when a Core 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 Core 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

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 Core 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 Core does not support. With this release, Core 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 Core in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your operating system.

-
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 Core 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 Core.
-
Support for mutual authentication between Core and Sentry: Core 11.5.0.0 now supports mutual authentication with Sentry by default. Minimum version requirements are:

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
- Configurations > Apple > iOS / tvOS > Managed Domains
- Configurations > Apple > iOS / tvOS > Encrypted DNS
- Configurations > Apple > iOS / tvOS > Network Usage Rules
- Configurations > VPN > all VPN configurations
- Policies > iOS > iOS Only > Single-App Mode
- Policies > iOS > iOS Only > Global HTTP Proxy
- Policies > iOS > iOS Only > Cellular
- Policies > iOS > iOS Only > Home Screen Layout
- Policies > iOS > iOS Only > Notification Settings
Ivanti recommends administrators to update their labels associated to the above configurations and policies to "Apple User Enrolled Device" + "Equals" + "True" or iOS.apple_user_enrolled_device=true. For more information, see Configurations page, Managing Policies, and VPN settings overview in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.
The new Apple User Enrollment registration flow for LDAP Users/Groups must use single invite or bulk invite registration to verify that managed Apple ID was generated correctly. The administrator should also check the logs for any managed Apple ID failures. If the existing registration process is already using PINs, the registration will still work. For more information, see User Enrollment with Apple Business Manager in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.
-
New iOS 15 Restrictions: There are three new restrictions for iOS 15:
- Force Translation Processing Only on Device
- Require Managed Pasteboards
- Allow Cloud Private Relay
For more information, see iOS and tvOS restrictions settings in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for iOS and macOS devices.
Windows features
-
Windows registration configurations disabled upon upgrade: For new MobileIron Core deployments, Ivanti’s support for Windows device management has been transitioned to Ivanti EPM and MobileIron Cloud.

General Features
-
ECDSA X.509 certificates must now be formatted with named curves in all modes: In Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and Common Criteria Mode, only secp256r1 (NIST P-256), secp384r1 (NIST P-384), or secP521r1 (NIST P-521) are allowed. With this release, explicitly-defined Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) curves certificates cannot be used to represent local certificate authority (CA) certificates. For more information about supported cypher suites, see Advanced: Incoming SSL Configuration in the Security Settings chapter of the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
-
Four-digit year added to secure log file timestamp: The default timestamp for the /var/log/secure log file has been modified to include a four-digit year. The log file format has changed from:
RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
to
RSYSLOG_SyslogProtocol23FormatThe 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 Core logs, see Working with logs in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Ivanti EPMM System Manager Guide.
-
Swedish and Hungarian languages now supported in Core: Two new languages, Swedish and Hungarian, are now supported and available in Core 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 Core 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 Core 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 Core. If none of the certificates configured match the active certificate in use on the Core 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 Core 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 Core system certificate expiration alerts to be warned the Core server certificate is about to expire.
Any Certificate Pinning policy created in Core 11.2.0.0 will be disabled upon Core 11.3.0.0 upgrade. Core will not push that policy. Instead, if / when the Admin edits the Certificate Pinning policy, Core will push the policy using a new Core property.
Applicable to [email protected] for iOS 12.11.30 devices and supported later versions. Also applicable to [email protected] 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: Core now requires mutual authentication with managed devices for a more secure connection. If Core 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 Core in the Ivanti EPMM Device Management Guide for your operating system.
-
Core 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 MobileIron Core functionality. For information about the latest Core 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 Core CLI and Core 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, Core 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 Core.
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 Core after Microsoft Azure consent: This feature adds a redirect URL in the Core device compliance on prem app for better user experience. The user will redirected back to the core 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 Core 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. -
