Device Policies

In this section, you will find comprehensive guides on managing policies across various operating systems supported by Entgra UEM.

Detailed explanations and procedures for each of the following subsections are provided:

General Policy Operations

Add New Policy

Prerequisites

  1. The server has to be downloaded and started.
  2. Must have been logged on to the server's Endpoint Management Portal and enrolled a device.
  1. Select Policies in the left navigation.

  2. Go to Create + and select Policy.

    Add New Policy

  3. Select the platform from the listed device types. (Example : Android)

    Add New Policy

  4. Create your policy. In this tutorial, let us create a passcode policy.

    Add New Policy

    Note

    A profile in the context of Entgra UEM Server refers to a collection of policies. For example, in this use case you are only creating one policy that is the passcode policy. If you want to, you can add an restrictions policy too. All these policies will be bundled as a profile and then pushed to the devices.

  5. After defining the required settings, click Continue.

  6. Select the policy type.

    Add New Policy

    There are two types of policies.

    1. General Policy: General policy is applied to the device by default.

    2. Corrective Policy: Corrective policy is applied to the device when the general policy is violated. When the general policy is not violated the correctiv policy is disabled.

      If you wish to apply a corrective policy with a general policy;

      1. First create a corrective policy by selecting the policy type as the corrective policy.

      2. Then create a general policy by selecting the policy type as the general policy. Select the corrective policy from the dropdown list to be applied when this general policy is violated.

  7. Click Continue.

  8. Define the user groups that the passcode policy needs to be assigned to:

    • Select Set User role(s) and then select the roles from the item list to be assigned the policy.
    • Select Set User(s) and then select the users from the item list to be assigned the policy.
    • Select Groups from the item list to be assigned the policy.

    For this example, let's select Set User role(s) and then select ANY here.

    Add New Policy

  9. Click Continue.

  10. Set a name for your policy and add a description under Publish to devices.

    Add New Policy

  11. Click Save and publish to save and publish the configured profile as an active policy to the database.

Android Policies

Allowed Input Methods

The Allowed Input Methods policy lets administrators manage how keyboards and input methods are used on Android devices, reducing the risk of data leaks and keylogging.

Data Keys of Policy and Descriptions

Allowed type of inputs

With this feature, admins have the capability to select one of the following input types:

Allow any input method: All input methods are permitted by default, giving users full freedom to use any preferred keyboard.

Allow only system or default installed: Only trusted pre-installed or system-provided keyboards (like those from the device vendor or Google) are allowed. These keyboards are considered safe and cannot be blocked. Any non-system input method service that is currently enabled must be added to the list. Therefore, if the user has already enabled any input method, it cannot be disabled. System installed and user installed: In addition to the pre-installed and system-provided input methods, administrators can define a set of packages that are permitted as user-installed input methods.

Note: When configuring the Allowed Input Method policy, make sure to include the Entgra keyboard as an authorized input option.

User-installed package names

Administrators can specify a list of package names for input methods that must be allowed and any other user-installed packages will be disabled. System-installed keyboards are trusted by default and cannot be blocked. Default package names for system-installed keyboards do not need to be specified.

Allowed Input Methods

Passcode Policy

Enforce a configured Passcode Policy on Android devices. Once this profile is applied, the device owners will not be be able to modify password settings on their devices.

Data Keys of Policy and Descriptions

Data Key Description
Allow simple value Permits repeating, ascending and descending character sequences.
Allow alphanumeric value The user must enter a password containing at least both numeric and alphabetic (or other symbol) characters.
Minimum passcode length Set the required number of characters for the password. For example, you can require PIN or passwords to have at least six characters.
Minimum number of complex characters Set the required number of letters, numericals digits, and special symbols that passwords must contain. Introduced in Android 3.0.
Maximum passcode age in days ( Should be in between 1-to-730 days or 0 for none ) Designates the full email address for the account. If not present in the payload, the device prompts for this string during profile installation.
Passcode history ( Should be in between 1-to-50 passcodes or 0 for none ) Number of consequent unique passcodes to be used before reuse
Maximum number of failed attempts before device lock The maximum number of incorrect password entries allowed. If you fail to enter the correct password within the allowed number of attempts, the device will be locked.

Data Key Description
Service Set Identifier (SSID) The network's SSID. Can either be a UTF-8 string or a string of hex digits, which are not enclosed in quotes (e.g., My Network, 01a243f405).
Security Security type of the wireless network to be configured. 802.1x EAP works with Android 4.3 and above devices only.
WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks.
WPA/WPA 2 PSK WiFi Protected Access (WPA), WiFi Protected Access II (WPA2) are the security protocols and security certification programs developed by the WiFi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks.
802.1x EAP
EAP Method EAP is an authentication framework for providing the transport and usage of material and parameters generated by EAP methods . - PEAP : PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a version of EAP, the authentication protocol used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point connections. - TLS : EAP uses TLS public key certificate authentication mechanism within EAP to provide mutual authentication of client to server and server to client. - TTLS : The Tunneled TLS EAP method (EAP-TTLS) is very similar to EAP-PEAP in the way that it works and the features that it provides. The difference is that instead of encapsulating EAP messages within TLS, the TLS payload of EAP-TTLS messages consists of a sequence of attributes. - PWD : EAP-PWD is highly secure (the password is never transmitted, even in encrypted form), and does not require PKI certificates, and also requires only 3 authentication round-trips. - SIM : - AKA* : The AKA is defined in RFC 5448, and is used for non-3GPP access to a 3GPP core network. For example, via EVDO, WiFi, or WiMax.
Phase 2 Authentication PAP : Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a password-based authentication protocol used by Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to validate users. - MCHAP : - MCHAPV2 : - GTC : Generic Token Card (GTC) carries a text challenge from the authentication server, and a reply generated by a security token.

Windows Policies

Entgra UEM offers comprehensive policy management capabilities for Windows devices, empowering administrators to enforce security, configuration, and compliance standards across their organization. Administrators can leverage two distinct types of policies:

  1. General Policies

    • General Policies encompass a broader range of settings beyond registry-based configurations, allowing administrators to define policies that cover device management, application management, security controls, and user experience enhancements.
    • By offering a wider scope of policy options, General Policies enable administrators to address diverse management requirements and tailor configurations to specific use cases or user groups within their organization.
  2. Group Policies

    • Group Policies in Entgra UEM provide administrators with a familiar interface and functionality akin to traditional Group Policy management in Active Directory environments. Leveraging Administrative Template (ADMX) files, administrators can define registry-based policy settings that govern various aspects of device behavior and configuration.
    • Administrators can import ADMX templates, configure policy settings, and enforce them across managed Windows devices, ensuring consistent compliance with organizational standards.
    • Refer to this documentation for a comprehensive understanding on Windows Group Policy support.
