Enterprise Onboarding

Overview

Ivanti Policy Secure(IPS) Enterprise Onboarding feature automatically configures and provisions mobile and personal devices running on platforms such as Windows, MAC OSX, Android, and iOS. It enables them to securely connect to the enterprise network in support for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives.

The onboarding provides a way to configure Wireless, VPN, and device certificate profiles on a device. Using these profiles the users can securely connect to enterprise network and access enterprise resources. The profiles can be configured on a single IPSIPS server dedicated to onboarding or on each server.

The supported profiles depend on the device type and whether the Ivanti Secure Access Client is installed.

For enterprise onboarding a separate license called “Advanced Mobile Licenses – Onboarding” is required.

• Android platform supports all profiles. However, Ivanti Secure Access Client application must be installed during onboarding.
• iOS platform supports all profiles through Safari browser.
• Windows platform supports Wi-Fi and certificate profiles (IE, Firefox, or Chrome browser). The Ivanti Secure Access Client onboarding application must be installed during onboarding. Windows 8 RT and Windows 8 Phone are not supported.
• MAC OSx platform supports Wi-Fi and certificate profiles (Safari browser).

You can see more information on the supported platforms in the Supported Platform document.

You can also define the profiles on an external MDM server. If an external MDM server is used, the user will see a link and instructions on the onboarding page to continue onboarding. Onboarding is initiated from the browser.
