To manage security on a mobile device, you can create and deploy security profiles that enable securing the data on a mobile device if the device is lost or stolen. These profiles can also prevent unauthorized access to the device.
By default, HPCA provides a pre-configured Wipe security profile that you can use to remotely wipe the device data. Note that you can apply the Wipe security profile only if HPCA can contact the device. You cannot modify or delete this profile.
Caution: If you entitle Wipe security profile to a device, all device data is lost and the device is reset to factory settings.
You can also create new profiles that enable you to set the password settings or send commands to lock the device. The Security profile is published as a service in the CSDB. You can then entitle this service using Policy Management Wizard to a user or user group.
After you entitle the security profile, the device receives the new entitlements only when the next automatic timer is triggered on the mobile device.
A notification appears on the mobile device only if user intervention is required. For example, if the security profile is configured to set the user password, an HPCA security connect notification appears in the notifications panel on the mobile device indicating the changes that are pending from the user.
Note: If you entitle more than one security profile to a user, the profile that imposes maximum security will be enforced on the device. For example, if you entitle following profiles to a user:
The resulting security profile that is enforced on the user is:
Simple password value=false; Alphanumeric Password Value=true; Minimum Password Length=7; Number of complex characters in a password: 2
