SkypeShield Application Installation Guide for MaaS360
SkypeShield Application Installation Guide for MaaS360
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 SphereShield for SfB can function according to the following approaches:
- WiFi - Registration can only be done from 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.
- VPN Redirection - Registration can only be done from a device that is configured to work with Split Tunnel VPN managed by the MDM.
You can implement the app for both Android and iOS devices:
- Android - deployment is performed using the MaaS360 SDK which allows interaction with the Airwatch Agent in order to collect data about the user and device. For example, UDID.
- iOS - deployment is performed using AppConfig technology.
