Deploy Imprivata MDA via your MDM

Integrate Imprivata MDA with your Mobile Device Management software to distribute it to your mobile devices and provide single sign-on (SSO) capabilities to Android devices in your environment. These integrations enable you to deploy the Imprivata MDA app through your admin consoles, configure authentication policies and manage device lockdown settings for a variety of managed device scenarios.

Download the Imprivata MDA app from the Google Playstore and distribute it to your mobile devices using Mobile Device Management (MDM) software. Your implementation of Imprivata MDA must be configured for the MDM that you are using.

NOTE:

See the Imprivata MDA AppConfig Reference for supported MDM AppConfig key/value pairs.

Select one of the MDM providers for detailed configuration tasks:

Install Imprivata MDA with an MDM

The following workflow represents a basic MDM-based deployment scenario. Depending on your MDM's specific requirements, it may be different.

  1. From the mobile device, open Imprivata MDA.

  2. If Imprivata MDA cannot obtain the device ID, either allow one–time access or generate a random ID.

    A device ID is required to report on login and device activity.

  3. Follow the prompts to activate the Accessibility Service.

  4. If required, follow the prompts to enable the following:

    • Optional—Give Imprivata MDA full control of the device.

      Allowing full control is appropriate for apps that assist with accessibility needs.

    • Required—Permit drawing over other apps or the respective permission.

      For example, this permission may also be referred to as Enable Overlay of other apps.

    • Required—Enable Read notifications.

    • Required—Give Imprivata MDA access to notifications.

      Allowing access lets users interact with app notifications. You specify the applications whose push notifications are allowed in the Customization section of the mobile policy.

The login screen appears when you have configured all of the required permissions.

Manually Configure a Connection to the Imprivata Appliance

Imprivata MDA must be configured with the address of an Imprivata appliance.

If you installed Imprivata MDA to a single device manually or were unable to configure the address of an Imprivata appliance using an MDM, complete the following.

To configure the connection manually:

  1. Tap the Imprivata lock screen 10 times quickly.

  2. Enter the IP address or domain name of an Imprivata appliance in Server IP.
