2 Agenda Overview Application Management Security Management

3 IBM Connections Mobile One application per mobile OS Regardless of the server deployment & level IBM Greenhouse Customer A 3.0.1.x Customer N 5.0.x...... IBM SmartCloud ™

4 Architecture Server requirements Minimum Connections 3.0.1 + Mobile refresh (L061851)  Connections 3.0.1 CR2 – added application management capabilities  Connections 4.0 CR1 – added mobile security management capabilities Connections Mobile enterprise appplication installed

5 Client Components Mobile apps iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch  iOS 6, 7 Android  Android 2.3.3+ BlackBerry  BlackBerry 6, 7 Microbrowser version Server Mobile Application Management Mobile Security Management

6 Agenda Overview Application Management Security Management

7 Customization Available since IBM Connections 3.0.1 CR2 (and version 3.2 of the App) What can be customized? Custom login form Custom EULA Rebranding Add / remove services Rename services Add additional application launchers Customizations / extensions are defined in file: mobile-config.xml

8 Service customization By default, if a service is enabled in IBM Connections, it will be enabled on mobile An administrator can disable a mobile service by Setting enabled = false for the application in mobile-config.xml An administrator can remove a service from the home screen but make it available to other applications (ie: Files in Communities) by Setting displayInLauncher=false

9 Service customization – Files Additional configuration is available for the Files application

10 Rebranding You can rebrand: The App name  Only in the app itself! You will still see “IBM Connections” in Android or iOS The service labels used for various applications

11 Service Labels

12 Extensibility You can add additional services and include: Icons for different devices and densities Service label Service URL

13 E-mail Notifications When a user follows objects in Connections he/she will receive an e-mail digest By default, the digest only contains direct links to the Connections server apps To include additional links for mobile device access:

14 Custom URIs Connections Mobile App can be started from a browser, or another mobile app, on the device using the following URIs Launch App → ibmscp://com.ibm.connections/launch Open Profile → ibmscp://com.ibm.connections/profiles? | Open Community → ibmscp://com.ibm.connections/communities? Open File → ibmscp://com.ibm.connections/files? And More!!! → http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21601146http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21601146 BlackBerry does not support ibmscp, so use an http prefix instead

15 Agenda Overview Application Management Security Management

16 Mobile Security Management Overview Designed to prevent data loss in the event of a lost or stolen device Provides Secure access to data stored on the device Ability to control user access to data Ability to remove enterprise data from the device (if needed) Capabilities Password retention policies for storing password on device Expose/hide e-mail addresses Allow/prevent geolocation information to be used Allow/prevent copy & paste in the app Allow/prevent app documents to be shared during sync (ie: iTunes) Available in IBM Connections 4.0+ Is not a full-fledged Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution  For full capabilities: MobileIron, McAfee, BigFix, Tango, Tivoli Endpoint Manager, etc.

17 Topology – Deployed on Connections server

18 Configure Mobile Administrators Enable MobileAdmin settings in mobile-config.xml Restart Mobile Administration application In the Integrated Solutions Console, map users to administrator role Mobile Administration URL: https://host:port/mobileAdmin

19 Device Registration Initiated the first time the user logs in after installing the app on a device Registration process logs: User name Device name Device id Policy compliance status

20 Configuration Profile Provisioning occurs during app registration process on the device Upon login, application will check server for policy updates

21 Remote Wipe & Access Denial Administrator can issue Remote Wipe Request for a lost device Administrator can deny application access Reasons: lost device, security, functionality, performance, etc. If a lost device is recovered, administrator can clear Remote Wipe or Access Denial

22 Administration Audit Audit actions that can be enabled / disabled Device registration, Enable / disable Access Denial, Enable / disable Remote Wipe Configuration Inactive user reap interval  Length of time user can be inactive without being removed from registration Audit purge interval  Length of time an audit event should be retained in the database

23 Custom Login Form A custom login form can be defined for various authentication mechanisms such as TAM, SiteMinder, SPNEGO, etc. The Connections App presents the same login interface regardless of the login form/mechanism enabled in the environment

24 Custom EULA/Information page(s) Enterprise User License Agreement (EULA) or information pages can be defined to be presented to users before they are granted app access

25 Two factor client certificate authentication Requires the mobile user to provide a certificate during the login process Android 4.0+ Uses the unified keychain Can be installed via a p12 or ibmmbd file iOS Certificate must be installed in the app's keychain Must add “ibmmbd” extension to certificate to it can be opened by the app User gains access to ibmmbd file via website or e-mail; User then opens the file in the Connections App to import it into the keychain See “Configuring access with client certificates” in wiki

26 Client certificate authentication flow The IBM Connections Mobile App Attempts to make a connection to the server Is challenged for a client certificate by the server Sends certificate to the server Is allowed to connect by the server Is challenged for IBM Connections server credentials Sends IBM Connections credentials Is granted access to all available services

27 Other settings Allow/prevent browser access to the mobile app. User will get redirected to appstore URL is web access is disabled Set the default service used when a user logs in
