AppConfig Explained
The AppConfig file is used in order to get certain values from the MDM server that will be used by the app.
These are the main values of the AppConfig file:
- SkypeShieldAndroidVersion \ minSkypeShieldAndroidVersion - the minimum version of Android SkypeShield that is allowed.
- SkypeShieldIosVersion \ minSkypeShieldIosVersion - the minimum version of iOS SkypeShield that is allowed.
- pacakgeKey - a value stored in SkypeShield's DB in order to authenticate the app. This field is not mandatory and will be left empty in most cases.
If it's in use, it must match the value in the Access Portal DB. - CompanyName - a value store in SkypeShield DB in order to identify the company which is using the app. This is used in order to prevent other users from other companies from using the app.
This field must match the value in the Access Porta DB. - DefaultHost - a field that is used to dictate the address to whom the launcher will send MDM information. It should be the address of your lyncdiscover URL that's published by the Bastion.
