Lessons learned on the digital workspace journey with Workspace ONE

Workspace ONE allows you to present the exact user experience your use case requires. One of the things that Workspace ONE UEM does a great job with is interacting with various API's across all the major operating systems. There can be times when you might wish to interact with those API's directly. Some examples of the types of API's that could be helpful would include: Google's  Play EMM API  or the  Android Management API . A scenario where this could be useful is when you want to retrieve a set of data that isn't currently captured by Workspace ONE UEM. If there is something you wish Workspace ONE captured, don't hesitate to submit a  Feature Request  on the crowdsourced portal. In the meantime, this blog will cover how to update the access token used with Android Enterprise, and how to retrieve the access token with Fiddler.  Configure on-premise environment to proxy traffic: Open Fiddler, and make sure it is capturing traffic. For reference on how to ...

When developing and delivering use-cases for Android or iOS devices, remotely debugging and inspecting how content is rendered in Google Chrome can be challenging. In the last few years, Chrome introduced a very useful feature that allows remote debugging. This functionality became infinitely useful when working on a use case that leverages cookies in a third-party context. In this blog post, we'll cover why cookies can be a headache (for all platforms), and how Chrome DevTools can be used to isolate issues on mobile devices. Requirements: Android OS with Developer Options enabled USB Debugging enabled USB-C Cable To connect Android device to macOS / Windows device Google Chrome (mobile) Google Chrome (macOS / Windows device) Context: A use case I am involved in hosts content internally on a private cloud using VMware Tanzu (formerly Pivotal Cloud Foundry). This private cloud has its own unique domain. So while the user might be authenticating and viewing content on www.myLearning...

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...

Recently Telerik would release Fiddler Everywhere, a free web debugging proxy, for macOS. Previously, Fiddler was native to Windows, and macOS users would have to resort to using Charles, or using Fiddler in Wine on their macOS. While Charles is great, it also wasn't free. With Fiddler Everywhere being a free offering, it has quickly cemented itself as a must-have tool for developers.  Thanks Telerik, my Hawaii vacation / retirement fund just grew by $50. Today, we're going to cover how to use Fiddler Everywhere to capture network traffic from an Android device. This is useful if you need to review SAML responses when troubleshooting authentication. But before we proceed to the fun stuff....
