Default device preference and security setting values

The default device settings for users come from the IBM Traveler administration database default device settings document. Users can change their device preference settings from their devices, but only an IBM Traveler administrator can change device security settings. A Domino® policy containing IBM Traveler settings (a IBM Traveler Domino® policy) can be used to override the default device settings for individual users, groups, or organizations.

For the settings listed in the following table, select Lock value on device to prevent modification of the setting from a IBM Traveler client. Any settings without this option are always handled as locked.

Note: Settings in tables 1, 2, and 3 do not apply to devices with applications utilizing the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, such as the native applications included on Apple, BlackBerry 10 and Windows devices, unless otherwise noted.

Once a device has registered with the server and has received settings from the device profile, the device preferences cannot be changed by an administrator unless the settings are locked either in the default device preferences or a IBM Traveler policy. If the administrator changes the value of a locked setting, then this change is synced to the mobile device immediately. A mobile device user cannot change setting values from the device for settings that are locked by a policy. Unlike device preferences, any security setting changes made by the administrator are synced to the mobile device.

Note: Several of these settings have a violation action that must be configured. The violation action executes on the device if the local device security setting does not match the security policy. The default violation action is Report.

Table 9. Violation action settings
Setting	Description
Report	If the setting is not compliant, the violation is reported to Domino® Domain Monitor (DDM) on the IBM Traveler server. The mobile device user is notified on the IBM Traveler status screen with a security lock icon and a message.
Disable Synchronization	If the setting is not compliant, the violation is reported to the IBM Traveler server and any further syncing with the server is disabled. Syncing can be re-enabled only by fixing the security policy violation.
Enforce	The IBM Traveler client forces the setting on the device to match the setting in the security policy. For settings such as the device password, the mobile device user is prompted to enter a password for the device. If at any time the settings are detected to be non-compliant, the violation is reported to DDM on the server and syncing is disabled on the mobile device until the violation is corrected.
