MobileIron integration with CRM.pad application

MobileIron solution provides security for CRM.pad application data when the user is mobile or at rest. It also provides data loss prevention control.

MobileIron provides the following advantages:

  • Security & Usability improvement

    CRM.pad application can run automatically using secure VPN (appconnect). Users do not have to manually configure VPN connection, for example using Cisco AnyConnect.

  • AppConnect containerization technology

    The CRM.pad application runs in a container, which allows exchange between multiple business applications like CRM.pad, notes, email, and data using the connected container. This also reduces your total cost of ownership.

  • Allows you to control certain functions the user can perform. For example, Copy & Paste, Print, and Open In other applications.

    This will allow you to control if the user can print CRM.pad data, or open the data in other related applications. This is very useful in restricted environments.

  • Selective wipe of CRM.pad application

    This is very useful if you are adapting BYOD strategy and allowing your users to bring their own devices.

If you already use CRM.pad application and want to integrate it with MobileIron, perform the following:

  1. Get the unsigned application archive file from Aurea.
  2. Use your Apple Enterprise License to sign the archive.
  3. Use the AppConnect wrapper for iOS to wrap the application archive.

New users can install CRM.pad application version with the AppConnect integrated from the AppStore. The AppConnect integrated version detects if MobileIron is used and uses it to securely communicate with the CRM server.

Note: If your users are using MobileIron Sentry, then append enablemobileiron=true the URL to ensure that you are able to connect to the CRM Server. This will ensure that MobileIron is started before the connection with CRM Server is initiated. Without this parameter the MobileIron Sentry will block CRM.pad from connecting to the CRM Server. This configuration is valid only for CRM.Pad package released by Aurea with the AppConnect integration.
