FAQ - DXP - Open Edition and Mobile Application Management
- Can I use DXP - Open Edition as a Mobile Application Management (MAM) solution?
-
Yes, DXP - Open Edition provides all essential functions to be used as a MAM solution.
- In terms of delivery, can I add and assign applications to devices and users?
-
You can assign applications to users, but you cannot assign them to devices.
- In terms of security, which protection policies can I use to secure the data in my application?
-
In DXP - Open Edition, you can establish login policies for users. By default, users that fail three login attempts are locked. Administrators can unlock users in the User service and change the default limit of attempts. In addition, if a user fail to log in a mobile client, the mobile client data are cleared from the device. The application remains, but it has no data inside.
- Can I make an app store for the users?
-
Yes, for example, you can create a launchpad with tiles that trigger the installation of a mobile client. If a user accesses the launchpad and clicks "install" on one of the tiles that points to a mobile client, the IPA, APK or Windows 10 version of the mobile client is installed.
- Can I see which users have access to my application?
-
DXP - Open Edition provides multiple services for monitoring. You can see who has access to which applications and when they are logged into an application. For more information on monitoring services, see Monitoring.
- As a user, how do I update applications?
-
You do not need to actively update applications. Whenever you log out of an application, it updates to the latest version automatically.
- Can I use DXP - Open Edition to wipe devices remotely?
-
DXP - Open Edition is a platform for application development and, as such, has no control over devices. You will need a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution to have this kind of control. If you want to do so, you can integrate your MDM solution into DXP - Open Edition. There are a lot of MDM solutions that we have already worked with, such as Microsoft Intune, SOTI, MobileIron, Airwatch, BlackBerry Dynamics, and Blue Cedar.
