Managed configurations policy 编辑

The Managed configurations device policy controls various app configuration options and app restrictions. You create this policy for each Android Enterprise app that you want to control.

The app developer defines the options and tooltips available for an app. If a tooltip mentions using a “templated value,” use the corresponding Endpoint Management macro instead. For more information, see Remote configuration overview (on the Android developer site) and Macros.

The app configuration settings can include items such as:

• Email app settings
• Allow or block URLs for a web browser
• Option to control app content sync through a cellular connection or only by a Wi-Fi connection

For information about the settings that appear for your apps, contact the app developer.

Prerequisites

• Complete Android Enterprise setup tasks on Google and connect Android Enterprise to managed Google Play. For more information, see Android Enterprise.
• Add Android Enterprise apps to Endpoint Management. For more information, see Adding Apps to Endpoint Management.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.

Requirements for per-app VPNs

To create a per-app VPN for AE, you need to perform extra steps, in addition to configuring the Managed configurations device policy. Also, you must verify that the following prerequisites are met:

• On-premises Citrix Gateway
• The following applications are installed on the device:
  • Citrix SSO
  • Citrix Secure Hub

A general workflow to configure a per-app VPN for AE devices is as follows:

1. Configure a VPN profile as described in this article.

2. Configure Citrix ADC to accept traffic from the per-app VPN. For details, see Full VPN setup on Citrix Gateway.

Android Enterprise settings

After you choose to add a Managed configurations device policy, a prompt to select an app appears. If there are no Android Enterprise apps added to Endpoint Management, you cannot proceed.

After you select an app, then configure the policy settings. The settings are specific to each app.

Configure VPN profiles for Android Enterprise

Make VPN profiles available to Android Enterprise devices using the Citrix SSO app with the Managed configurations device policy.

Start by adding Citrix SSO to the Endpoint Management console as a Google Play store app. See Add a public app store app.

Create an Android Enterprise managed configuration for Citrix SSO

Configure the Managed configurations device policy for Citrix SSO to create VPN profiles. Devices that have the Citrix SSO app installed and the policy deployed can access the VPN profiles you create.

Endpoint Management uses the user certificate in the device keystore if:

• Citrix Gateway is configured for certificate-based authentication.
• Deliver user certificate for authentication is enabled in the Endpoint Management page Settings > Citrix Gateway.

You need your Citrix Gateway FQDN and port.

1. In the Endpoint Management console, click Configure > Device Policies. Click Add.

2. Select Android Enterprise. Click Managed configurations.

   

3. When the Select Application ID window appears, choose Citrix SSO from the list and click OK.

   

4. Type a name and description for your Citrix SSO VPN configuration. Click Next.

   

5. Configure VPN profile parameters.

   • VPN Profile Name: Type a name for the VPN profile. If you are creating more than one VPN profile, use a unique name for each. If you don’t provide a name, the address you put in the Server Address field is used as the VPN profile name.

   • Server Address(*): Type your Citrix Gateway FQDN. If your Citrix Gateway port is not 443, also type your port. Use URL format. For example,https://gateway.mycompany.com:8443.

   • Username (optional): Provide the user name that end users use to authenticate to the Citrix Gateway. You can use the Endpoint Management macro {user.username} for this field. (See Macros.) If you don’t provide a user name, users are prompted to provide a user name when the connect to Citrix Gateway.

   • Password (optional): Provide the password that end users use to authenticate to the Citrix Gateway. If you don’t provide a password, users are prompted to provide a password when the connect to Citrix Gateway.

   • Certificate Alias (optional): Type a certificate alias. The certificate alias makes it easier for the app to access the certificate. When the same certificate alias is used with the Credentials device policy, the app retrieves the certificate and authenticates the VPN without any action by users.

   • Per-App VPN Type (optional): If you are using per-app VPN to restrict which apps use this VPN, you can configure this setting. If you select Allow, network traffic for app package names listed in the PerAppVPN app list are routed through the VPN. The network traffic of all other apps is routed outside the VPN. If you select Disallow, network traffic for app package names listed in the PerAppVPN app list are routed outside the VPN. The network traffic of all other apps is routed through the VPN. Default is Allow.

   • PerAppVPN app list: A list of apps whose traffic is allowed or blocked on the VPN, depending on the value of Per-App VPN Type. List the app package names separated by commas or semicolons. App package names are case sensitive and must appear on this list exactly as they appear in the Google Play store. This list is optional. Keep this list empty for provisioning device-wide VPN.

   • Default VPN profile: Type the name of the VPN profile to use when users tap the connect switch in the Citrix SSO app instead of a specific profile. If this field is left empty, the main profile is used for connection. If only one profile is configured, it is marked as default profile. For always-on VPN, this field must be set to the name of the VPN profile to be used for establishing always-on VPN.

   • Disable User Profiles: If this setting is On, users can’t create their own VPNs on their devices. If this setting is Off, users can create their own VPNs on their devices. Default is Off.

   • Block Untrusted Servers: This setting is Off is either of the following scenarios:

     • When you use a self-signed certificate for Citrix Gateway
     • When the root certificate for the CA issuing the Citrix Gateway certificate is not in the system CA list.

     If this setting is On, the Android operating system validates the Citrix Gateway certificate. If the validation fails, the connection is not allowed. Default value is On.

   

6. Optionally, create custom parameters. The custom parameters XenMobileDeviceId and UserAgent are supported. Select the current VPN configuration and click Add.

   

   1. Create a custom parameter:

      • Parameter name: Type XenMobileDeviceId. This field is the device ID to use for Network Access Check based on device enrollment in Endpoint Management. If Endpoint Management enrolls and manages the device, the VPN connection is allowed. Otherwise, authentication is denied at the time of VPN establishment.

      • Parameter value: For Endpoint Management to determine the enrollment and management state of the devices, the value of XenMobileDeviceID set to DeviceID_${device.id}.

   

   1. To create another custom parameter, click Add again. Create this custom parameter.

      • Parameter name: Type UserAgent. This text appended to the User-Agent HTTP header for performing an extra check on Citrix Gateway. Value of this text is appended to the User-Agent HTTP header by the Citrix SSO app while communicating with the Citrix Gateway.

      • Parameter value: Type the text you want to append to the User-Agent HTTP header. This text must conform to the HTTP User-Agent specifications.

7. Optionally, create more VPN profile configurations. Click Add under the list of configurations. A new configuration appears in the list. Select the new configuration and repeat step 5 and, optionally, step 6.

   

8. When you have created all the VPN profiles you want, click Next.

9. Configure deployment rules for this managed configuration for Citrix SSO.

10. Click Save.

This managed configuration for Citrix SSO now appears in your list of configured device policies.

To enable always-on for the VPN profiles you configured, set the Endpoint Management options device policy.

Note:

Citrix Secure Hub 19.5.5 or higher is required for always-on VPN for Android Enterprise.

Accessing VPN profiles from the device

To access the VPN profiles you created, Android Enterprise users install Citrix SSO from the Google Play store.

The VPN profile or profiles you configured appear in the Managed Connections area of the app. Users tap the VPN profile to connect using that VPN profile.

After users have authenticated and connected, a check mark appears next to the VPN profile. The key icon indicates the VPN is connected.
