Configure Device Lock and Logout on Charging

Beginning with 7.17, Imprivata MDA supports the ability to configure device locking and user logout when the mobile device is being charged.

Expected Behavior

When configured with the lockOnCharge or logoutOnCharge AppConfig flags, Imprivata MDA detects that the device is charging and will:

  • Lock the device

    and/or

  • Log the user out of the device and log the user out of apps

  • If you configure both lockOnCharge and logoutOnCharge flags, Imprivata MDA handles the action of user logout, as device lock is part of user logout.

  • When Countdown to Lock mode is configured, and either of the lockOnCharge and logoutOnCharge flags are set, Imprivata MDA locks the device and logs the user out.

  • When ZAMS is configured with Imprivata MDA, the lockOnCharge and logoutOnCharge flags are ignored.

  • During a critical alarm when the device is charging, Imprivata MDA does not lock or log the user out.

Configure Imprivata MDA

NOTE:

This feature is configured via the AppConfig using an MDM. See the Imprivata MDA AppConfig Reference for supported MDM AppConfig keys.

To configure the ability to lock the device while charging, add the following key to AppConfig:

  • The AppConfig Configuration Key field for this feature is "ConfigFlags".

  • The AppConfig Value Type for this feature is "String".

  • The AppConfig Value is lockOnCharge.

To configure the ability to log the user out of apps while the device is charging, add the following key to AppConfig:

  • The AppConfig Configuration Key field for this feature is "ConfigFlags".

  • The AppConfig Value Type for this feature is "String".

  • The AppConfig Value is logoutOnCharge.

If you configure both lockOnCharge and logoutOnCharge flags, Imprivata MDA handles the action of user logout, as device lock is part of user logout.
