Deployment Scenario

As an example, let’s configure the Application Configuration section of a MDM Tool app assignment to:

  • Only support IBM sessions (disable SSH and Telnet)

  • Block the user from creating, editing, or managing sessions

  • Hide the host name/IP and port from the user

  • Configure two sessions

Figure 1-1 The MDM Tool administrative console would look as follows:

Here’s a table of the key-value pairs for this example and what each does.

Notes for Deploying Reflection Mobile with an MDM Tool

  • The Sessions.deleteall entry deletes all session configurations on the device. This guarantees that the only sessions on the device will be the ones configured via MDM. This is optional.

  • All sessions must be named (i.e. the Name property must be set to a unique string). If not named the session will not be created.

  • Add session configuration using Session1, Session2, Session3, and etc. syntax.

  • If the session type has been restricted, the session will not be created. For example if the EnableSSH property has been set to false and an SSH session configuration is present, the session will not be created.
