Block access to mobile apps

[boneill]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way to block access to alfresco from the mobile apps.  Our customer does not have MDM and I have read the alfresco link on Restricting access (http://docs.alfresco.com/5.0/tasks/restrict-mobile-access.html) which only partially blocks access for IOS. What I need to do is totally block access from android and IOS apps.

Regards

Brian

Hi Brian,

there is no super safe solution for it...

you can setup a Webserver like nginx or apache2 which blocks android and iOS request (maybe by using a filter on user agent) hit the Alfresco repository. This will help that nobody can get access with the standard apps. Of course all these information in http headers can be faked, so it might be possible for users to use another app or to modify the existing app (code is open source) ...

hope this helps!
