Mobile Device Management (MDM) System Configuration

In order to be used by Extreme Networks MDM Connector plugin, the MDM software must be configured to provide the data that is imported by IAM as assessment information or end-system data.

End-System Groups

After initial installation the following groups should be present in IAM:

Group for Managed Business Mobile Devices Managed Mobile Devices Business
Group for Managed Personal Mobile Devices Managed Mobile Devices Personal
Group for Decommissioned Mobile Devices Managed Mobile Devices Decommissioned

We have shown the default names for each group. These names can be changed during installation or in the configuration page.

In addition to these a fourth group will appear for the ‘wipe’ functionality:

End-system group for Managed Devices Wipe Managed Mobile Devices Wipe

These groups contain the inventory information coming from the MDM provider. End-systems will be classified in each group depending on the ownership information from the MDM provider.

The ‘decomissioned’ group is a placeholder for devices that have been unenrolled in the MDM provider. Typically, its treatment should be the same as unregistered users.

The ‘Wipe’ group is an exception to this rule, the group is only used to trigger a wipe notification to the MDM provider. The wipe signal will reset the configuration of the ensystem to its factory settings. This option is disabled by default.
