Configuring a client-provided certificate enrollment setting
This section covers client-provided certificate enrollment settings.
Client-provided certificate enrollment settings are applicable only to iOS and Android devices.
Overview of client-provided certificate enrollment settings
Derived credentials are identity certificates derived from the certificates on a smart card. The derived credentials are stored on the device in Ivanti Mobile@Work on iOS devices, and in Secure Apps Manager on Android devices. AppConnect apps on mobile devices can use derived credentials for these purposes:
- Authentication to backend servers, such as email servers, web servers, or app servers
- Digital signing
- Encryption
- Decryption of older emails for which the original encryption certificate has expired (iOS only)
- Authenticating the user to Standalone Sentry when using AppTunnel with Kerberos authentication to the backend server
You create a client-provided certificate enrollment setting when you want an AppConnect app to use derived credentials for one of these purposes. You then refer to the client-provided certificate enrollment in the appropriate setting.
The certificate enrollment setting is called client-provided because Ivanti Mobile@Work for iOS or Secure Apps Manager for Android, known as client apps, provide the identity certificate to the AppConnect app.
Only the following settings can refer to a client-provided certificate enrollment setting:
- AppConnect app configuration It can refer to a client-provided certificate enrollment setting in:
- The value in a key-value pair in its App-specific Configurations section.
- The identity certificate in its AppTunnel Rules section.
- Ivanti Web@Work setting It can refer to a client-provided certificate enrollment setting in:
- the value in a key-value pair in its Custom Configurations section
- the identity certificate in its AppTunnel Rules section
- Ivanti Docs@Work setting It can refer to a client-provided certificate enrollment setting in:
- the value in a key-value pair in its Custom Configurations section
- the identity certificate in its AppTunnel Rules section
