Delivering Managed Configurations (key/value pairs) to Android applications with Workspace ONE UEM profiles

Image
Applications often have secrets that should not be hardcoded in the source code. This poses a challenge for developers, as ProGuard can change classes and method names, it won't help with secrets. Examples of secrets that can be removed from application source code include an API key or a OAuth refresh token. Another capability is for the MDM to dynamically deliver values to the application, such as the current logged in user, device serial number, or organization group. Google has made it more challenging to access non-resettable device identifiers like the serial number in recent years, and this remains a viable solution to provide non-resettable device identifiers (and other values) to applications running on the device. So how do we do it? Workspace ONE UEM can deliver profiles to devices. Profiles can configure a number of settings, in addition to delivering key/value pairs to your applications.  Google refers to these key/value pairs as Managed Configurations, aka application...

Clean up duplicate identities and users from Workspace ONE using REST API's and PowerShell

Image
Workspace ONE gives us a centralized management plane for our users digital workspace. But with the proliferation of identity and access management solutions, it isn't uncommon to find users with multiple identities in our management plane. Especially when you lift and shift from one identity solution to the next.  I have a friend and colleague who is working with a beverage company who have a fairly tedious task ahead of them. They have to clean up duplicate identities, and do it quickly. I thought it would be great to share a solution I put together, and discuss how you can go about cleaning up identities in your environment as well. But before we get to the good stuff; some mood lifting visual stimuli... Entrance to Andaz Maui at Wailea Fun fact: Novell eDirectory still exists. Owned and maintained by NetIQ. Any readers still using eDirectory, send me a email so I can buy you a beer. A lot of organizations start with Workspace ONE by importing identitie...

How to use Square's OkHttp Java library to access Workspace ONE UEM API's

Image
Digital workspace solutions often require consuming other services. When doing so, you may work with things like; REST API endpoints, Webhooks, gRPC, GraphQL - the list goes on. You can interact with these in a number of ways, but one way I've come to appreciate is with Java. It has been especially helpful when I've wanted to work with libraries like Appium, Selenium, OKHttp, or the Workspace ONE UEM SDK in a workflow. With that, I thought it would be helpful to share how to work with Workspace ONE UEM API's using Java. In this blog post, we will cover; Basics of JetBrain's IntelliJ IDE, touching on Apache Maven Using  Square's OkHttp   library  to call Workspace ONE UEM API's Why Java? Java is used by many and supported by most (Docker, Kubernetes, static code analysis tools, cloud service providers, Android, Windows, macOS, Tanzu Application Service, etc). Many languages compile to j ava ...
