The OnBase Mobile Access for iPhone app supports deployment of managed app configuration settings to devices when using third-party Mobile Device Management (MDM) software. This functionality is vendor-neutral and is limited to the MDM software vendor's capability to push managed app configuration settings to individual devices. Some MDM software providers may also provide the option to deploy the OnBase app directly to a user's device.

This functionality is limited based on your MDM software, therefore, a comprehensive list of supported MDM vendors is not available. Work with your MDM software vendor to determine if your MDM software is able to push app configuration settings to individual devices.

The following settings can be included as app configuration settings to be pushed to each user's device. Not all settings are required to be included.

Configuration Setting

Description

brokerURL

The URL for the Mobile Applications Broker Server, for example:

https://[mobile_broker_server]/MobileBroker

brokerUsername

The OnBase user name to be pre-populated in the User Name field on the login screen.

rememberUsername

Acceptable values are true, false, or the setting can be left blank.

If this is set to true, the Remember User Name option on the app's settings screen is always enabled and the user cannot disable the setting.

If this is set to false, the user name will not be remembered and the user cannot enable the setting.

Leave this setting blank to give the user the option to select whether or not the user name is remembered.

allowEditURL

Acceptable values are true or false.

If this is set to true, the user can modify the URL for the Mobile Applications Broker Server on the app's settings screen. If this is set to false, the field is read-only and the user cannot modify the URL.

allowEditUsername

Acceptable values are true or false.

If this is set to true, the user is able to modify the user name in the User Name field on the login screen.

If this is set to false, the field is read-only and the user cannot modify the user name.

allowEditBiometricEnabled

Acceptable values are true or false.

If this is set to true, the Touch ID setting on the app's settings screen is enabled. The user can modify this setting.

The following must be considered when enabling this setting:

  • When allowEditBiometricEnabled is true, the rememberUsername setting must also be true. This is because on each device, Touch ID can only be associated with one OnBase user at a time, requiring the user name to be remembered.

  • When allowEditUsername is true, a Switch Accounts option is displayed on the login screen to allow another OnBase user to temporarily log in if Touch ID is already enabled for a different user.

  • If allowEditUsername is false, ensure that the brokerUsername setting is configured to pre-populate the user name on the login screen. Users will not be able to edit the user name associated with Touch ID.

If this is set to false, the Touch ID setting is disabled and the user cannot modify this setting.

For general information about using Touch ID, refer to Apple's documentation.

The following shows an example configuration, however, note that the manner in which these settings are configured may vary depending on the MDM software being used, and therefore may not exactly match the example shown.
