Safari Web Extension

Zimperium no longer provides the content blocker functionality to block suspicious URLs; instead, it includes the addition of a new Safari Web extension supported with the Zimperium V5 SDK. This Safari web extension works in conjunction with MTD configuration in Ivanti applications to block suspicious URLs on web browsers. The user must enable this Safari web extension, named Ivanti MTD Extension, from the settings menu. Safari web extensions are supported starting with iOS 15 and above.

Activating the MTD configuration

Before you enable the Safari web extension, you must register your device in MDM server and push the MTD configuration into the device.

Procedure

  1. Log into the MDM Console.

  2. From the menu, select the Configurations option.

  3. In the Edit Settings page for Zimperium activation config.
