- Device has Samsung Knox 2.1
- Device is running Ivanti Mobile\@Work 7.0 for Android or supported newer versions.
- A Samsung General Policy with a valid Samsung KLM license is applied to a label that is also applied to the device. The Samsung license is required to take advantage of any Knox-related feature.

No changes are required to AppConnect configurations on Ivanti EPMM.

## About AppConnect for Knox

AppConnect is an Ivanti feature that containerizes apps to protect data on the device from unauthorized access. In AppConnect for Knox , Ivanti Mobile\@Work uses Samsung Knox Platform features to provide an added layer of security. Specifically:

- Knox SE for Android (Security Enhancements for Android)
  AppConnect uses an *SE for Android* container for an added layer of security for the container and AppConnect-enabled apps.
  Knox TIMA Keystore
- AppConnect’s Secure Apps key is protected using the TIMA keystore.

No user interface changes in Ivanti Mobile\@Work or Ivanti EPMM are associated with this feature.

The Samsung Knox container, known as the Knox Workspace, is not supported with AppConnect apps. Specifically:

- The Samsung Knox container does not support any AppConnect apps running inside the Knox container.
- Ivanti EPMM does not support using both a Knox container and AppConnect container on the same device.
