Enterprise gateway settings for WorkPlace apps

Use the enterprise gateway settings to enable the MaaS360 Gateway for WorkPlace apps.

IBM MaaS360 Mobile Enterprise Gateway (MEG) provides simple, seamless, and secure access to behind-the-firewall information resources for mobile users beyond implementing a new VPN-like technology.
Note: Make sure that Cloud Extender is installed and Enterprise Gateway is configured.
Policy setting Description
Default Enterprise Gateway The default enterprise gateway. Select one of the gateways or gateway clusters that you set up.

The name of the gateway displays automatically in the list. If you do not configure regional gateways, all devices that are associated with this policy communicate with the default gateway.

Configure Regional Gateways The traffic from the device is routed to regional gateways or gateway clusters based on the location of the device.
  • Country: The name of the country.
  • Enterprise Gateway: The regional gateway that the devices in that country communicate with. The location (country) of the device is determined by the time zone setting on the device and the GPS location of the device. Use this setting to manage one Persona policy for all devices, but still maintain awareness of the location of all devices around the globe.
Intranet Resources The domains or IP addresses for intranet sites that are allowed by devices that connect to the gateway.

This setting allows wildcards for domains such as *.companydomain.com (regular expressions). Restrict this access list to only intranet sites and domains, not proxy traffic to public sites.

Exceptions Use an exception list, if you set your access list to *.companydomain.com, but you do not want to proxy traffic such as email messages or OWA from the gateway.

Add the domain name of the mail server (email.companydomain.com) to the exception so traffic connects directly to your server on the internet and does not use the gateway.

Enable Resource Authentication Settings The forwarding of cached credentials from Gateway is restricted to specified websites with defined authentication types.
