Assigning preferences and security settings to devices
There are different ways to assign settings that determine how users work with the IBM Traveler server. You can use the built-in set of default device preferences and security settings that IBM Traveler provides, which is simpler. Or you can create a IBM Traveler policy settings document, which provides greater flexibility and control but is more complex to configure.
Before you begin
If you are using a IBM Traveler policy settings document, the template of the address book on the IBM Traveler server should be no earlier than version 8.5.2.
Note: When the
policy or default settings have been created for your Apple devices,
remove the
com.apple.mobiledevice.passwordpolicy <dict> from
the /traveler/cfg/client/Apple.xml file. This is
because the security enhancements are enforced in the sync flow rather
than through Apple.xml. This avoids contradictions
in the two settings, prevents users from getting around the settings
by manually creating the account, allows the settings to be more personalized
to individual users or subsets of users, and allows the security settings
to be dynamic without user interaction. Note: IBM Traveler defined device security settings apply to Apple devices. However, the device
preference settings (Sync settings, filter settings, and device settings) do not apply to Apple
devices.
Note: IBM Traveler defined device security settings apply to BlackBerry 10 devices that are
configured for direct connection to IBM Traveler (and not activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise
Service 10.) For BlackBerry 10 devices that connect to IBM Traveler using BlackBerry Enterprise
Service 10, the BES10 managed security policies take precedence, and the IBM Traveler Exchange
ActiveSync policy settings will be ignored.
