Defining approved applications for Apple iOS devices

You can define which applications are approved to exchange file data on Apple iOS Mail clients.

You do not need to define any approved applications for Apple iOS devices to use attachment security settings. If attachment security settings are enabled, but no approved applications are defined, then this will only allow the built-in viewers used by HCL Notes Companion or the To Do application to view attachment data. When attachments are viewed in this fashion, data never leaves the secure container of the HCL Notes Companion or To Do application.

However, you may find that you need to exchange attachment data with another application, either to enable additional view support or for some other business process. Instead of allowing every device application that a user can install to read the attachment data from HCL Traveler, the administrator can define a list of one or more applications that are allowed to exchange attachment data with HCL Traveler. These applications are called Approved Applications, as they have been "approved" by the administrator for attachment handling. This generally implies that the administrator has done some amount of testing with the application and is familiar enough with it to know it will not leak attachment data outside itself. The HCL Traveler attachment security settings only enforce that attachment data contained within the HCL Traveler mail account or To Do application, and is shared with applications in the approved list. Once the attachment data is consumed by another application, HCL Traveler can no longer control what happens to it.

This process can be repeated for multiple applications. Approved applications then show up in the Approved Application view, and are automatically pushed to the HCL Traveler Companion client and To Do application on Apple iOS devices connected to the HCL Traveler server.
