Overview

The AppConnect configuration policy allows you to distribute and silently activate the inSync for MobileIron app on multiple iOS devices. You must create and configure the AppConnect configuration policy to set the key-value pairs that the inSync for MobileIron app requires to authenticate inSync users. The following table lists the key-value pair that you must provide in the AppConnect configuration policy.

After inSync users install the inSync for MobileIron on their iOS device, the following communication and authentication process occurs:

1. MobileIron communicates with the MobileIron Virtual Smartphone Platform Server for the configuration policy. During this process, the $EMAIL$ and $USERID$ values in the configuration policy are replaced with the actual Email ID and the user names of the inSync users.
2. MobileIron then sends the configuration policy to the inSync for MobileIron app.
3. The inSync for MobileIron sends the Email ID and the IMD token to the inSync Master for verification.
4. The inSync Master searches for the email ID. If the inSync Master finds a match, the user authentication for the inSync for MobileIron app is successful. If the inSync Master does not find a match for the email ID or if the IMD token does not match, the user authentication fails and the Druva Mobile App login window appears.
