Configuring Files Advanced on the VSP

Once the Sentry is setup, the App Policy and App Configuration needs to be created for Files Advanced. This is a multi-step process that will include the following steps.

1. Still within the MobileIron VSP Admin Portal, select Policies & Configs and open Configurations.
2. Press Add New, select AppConnect and select Container Policy.

   

   • Name: Enter a name based on your preference.
   • Application: Enter com.grouplogic.mobilecho. This is a Bundle ID from the iOS App Store.
   • Policies: Set whatever MobileIron policies you want to use for managing Files Advanced.
3. Click Save.

1. Still within the MobileIron VSP Admin Portal, select Policies & Configs and open Configurations.
2. Press Add New, select AppConnect and select Configuration.

   

   • Name: Enter a name based on your preference.
   • Application: Enter com.grouplogic.mobilecho. This is the Bundle ID as seen in the Apple store.
   • App Tunnel
     • URL Wildcard: The URL that the client will try to contact the Files Advanced Gateway server on. This must match the "Address for client connections" configured for the Gateway server in the Files Advanced admin interface. This can be a regular expression to match multiple gateways but for the purpose of this document we will enter the exact hostname.*
     • Port: The port the client will try to make connections on (443 by default).
     • Sentry: The sentry created in "Add and Configure the Sentry".
     • Service: The service configured for the Gateway in "Add and Configure the Sentry".
     • Identity Certificate: The SCEP created in "Create a new SCEP".
3. Click Save.

*Address for client connections from the Files Advanced web interface. This address will be used in profiles sent to the mobile client for making file system connections. The sentry URL Wildcard must match this address and port to route those connections through to the sentry.

1. Still within the MobileIron VSP Admin Portal, select Users & Devices and open Labels.
2. Press Add new.

   

   • Name: Enter a name based on your preference.
   • Description: Enter a description based on your preference.

5. Click Apply.

1. Still within the MobileIron VSP Admin Portal, Select Users & Devices and open Devices.

4. Install Acronis Files Advanced from the App Store and Launch it.
5. Select Enroll Now on the Welcome view or go to Settings and scroll down to Enrollment.

   

6. Enter the address used for client connections to the <Files Advanced> Gateway and configured in the AppConnect Configuration. For a true test this URL should not be reachable by the mobile client (use celluar or an external network).
7. Tap continue.
8. Enter Username and Password and tap Enroll Now.

You should see "You are now enrolled with Files Advanced client management."

If the data sources in your profile are all part of the Files Advanced Gateway that has been configured to route through the sentry you should be able to browse those sources via the AppTunnel also at this point.
