MDM integration has 2 types of behaviors:
- Conditional Registration - Limiting registration only to managed devices by the MDM vendor.
- Conditional Access - Consistent validation that the device is managed and did not become out of compliance.
Regarding Conditional Access SkypeShield can function according to the following approaches:
- WiFi - Registration can only be done from and a WiFi network that requires a certificate in order to connect to. The certificate is managed by the MDM.
- SkypeShield Application - Registration can be performed only by using a specific SkypeShield (SkS) app, that is only available from the corporate store/catalog to the devices that are managed.
