iOS Managed App Configuration for Fiori Client (MobileIron MDM)

[Former Member]

We want to deploy SAP Fiori Client for iOS with MobileIron MDM. We just want so set URL and Passcode policy but we don't want to build an own custom Fiori Client for this purpose.

In the online documentation you can find all possible parameters and the following hint:

You can configure SAP Fiori Client using any third-party mobile device management (MDM) solution that is compatible with iOS Managed App Configuration or Android for Work.

What I need is an example file for such a managed app configuration. My service team ask me for a XML but I have no idea how it should look like.

I have successfully used the following. This disables the passcode requirement. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict><key>config</key><string>{"appID":"fiori","fioriURL":"https://SERVERPARAMETER/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html?sap-theme=SCE_Fiori_Theme@/sap/public/bc/themes/~client-100","fioriURLIsSMP":false,"disablePasscode": true,"passcodePolicy":{"expirationDays":"0","hasDigits":"false","hasLowerCaseLetters":"false","hasSpecialLetters":"false","hasUpperCaseLetters":"false","defaultAllowed":"true","lockTimeout":"300","minLength":"6","minUniqueChars":"0","retryLimit":"10","allowFingerprint":"true"},"skipShowFirstUseTips":true}</string></dict>

</plist>

Hi Gil,

here's an simple example of a PLIST file, that you can import into MobileIron

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

            <key>config</key>

            <string>{"appID":"fiori","fioriURL":"https://www.sapfioritrial.com/sap/hana/uis/clients/ushell-app/shells/fiori/FioriLaunchpad.html","fioriURLIsSMP":false,"passcodePolicy":{}}</string>

</dict>

</plist>

Hi Bernhard.

Thank you very much. I will give this to our MDM team and provide feedback here. This might take some time.

Best regards.

HI Gill,

Can you please advice if you were able to configure Mobile Iron and SAP Fiori Client. We are also trying to achieve the same and figuring out what options do we have.

Thanks!

We did it exactly as Bernhard had suggested it. Sorry that I forgot to give feedback.

One remark regarding to the passcode issue.

With the passcode parameter in this config file you are only able to enforce the passcode use. You aren't able to switch it off. Therefore you have to create an own custom client.

You can add "disablePasscode": true, to remove passcode requirement.
