Set up iOS or iPadOS device with Company Portal and Entrust

 This article describes steps to configure Intune MDM with derived credentials (in this example the derived credentials are issued by Entrust). 

Set up iOS or iPadOS device with Company Portal and Entrust

  • Article

Enroll your device with the Intune Company Portal app to gain secure, mobile access to your organization's email, files, and apps. After your device is enrolled, it becomes managed. Your organization can assign policies and apps to the device through a mobile device management (MDM) provider, such as Intune.

During enrollment, you'll also install a derived credential on your device. Your organization might require you to use the derived credential as an authentication method when accessing resources, or for signing and encrypting emails.

You likely need to set up a derived credential if you use a smart card to:

  • Sign in to school or work apps, Wi-Fi, and virtual private networks (VPN)
  • Sign and encrypt school or work emails using S/MIME certificates

In this article, you will:

  • Enroll a mobile iOS or iPadOS device with Intune Company Portal.
  • Get a derived credential from your organization's derived credential provider, Entrust.

What are derived credentials?

A derived credential is a certificate that's derived from your smart card credentials and installed on your device. It grants you remote access to work resources, while preventing unauthorized users from accessing sensitive information.

Derived credentials are used to:

  • Authenticate students and employees who sign in to school or work apps, Wi-Fi, and VPN
  • Sign and encrypt school or work emails with S/MIME certificates

Derived credentials are an implementation of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines for Derived Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials as part of Special Publication (SP) 800-157.

  • Your school or work-provided smart card

Session Timeout in Oracle Access Manager

Image
Session Timeout in Oracle Access Manager (OAM) The session lifetime and Idle timeout entries control how long a user's session is valid. In OAM, a user session is an object which represents an authenticated user. This object is stored in the server memory and if Database session persistence is enabled, this object is stored or available in the database. Each session is unique and is identified by both a userid and Session ID (session identifier), see screenshot below "OAM User Session Management".  A valid session means a user has been authenticated with OAM. A session can have following three states: 1) active 2) inactive 3) expired When a session is created it is in active state and is available as an object in the OAM. After a set time - idle timeout, the session moves or transitions to inactive state. And finally after the Session Lifetime time, the session is marked as expired. Expired sessions are removed from server memory. Read more about Session Lifetime ...
