Mobile device security

Where can I find a listing or description of the features and options for securing a mobile device using the GW Mobility pack? I need info such as remote wipe capability, password policies, encryption, etc. I need to compare this with the features offered with BES.
Thank you.

Does remote wipe work with Android 2.1?

You may find some in the docs.

This much I can tell you. Remote wipe works with iOS and Windows
Mobile, and with the next update the bug preventing it from working
with Android 2.2 should be fixed. I don't know if it's been tested
with WP7, Android 2.3, or Symbian.
I believe some password policies should be included in the next update,
with further enhancement coming later on when Novell updates the
version of ActiveSync used by Mobility.
Finally, communications between the server and devices are encrypted by
default using a self-signed certificate. You can of course replace
this with a "real" certificate or turn off encryption altogether if you
wish.

  • Questions on mobile device management

    Hi All,
    I'm not sure where to post this question since I couldn't find a forum specific to Afaria, so thought someone here might be able to help.
    1. Afaria mobile device management solution claims that data and content is backed up and can be deleted if a device is stolen or lost. Can this deletion be done if the mobile is switched off of the SIM card has been removed? What is the mechanism of the data deletion process when the device is either ON/OFF?
    2. How does Afaria handle online and offline user authentication? If a mobile app is opened, can Afaria be configured to force the user to enter credentials for authentication? Or should there be a separate login page as a part of the mobile app? (The user's credentials are needed to find his role from LDAP and the rest of the app to work properly, which is y the question).
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vaishnavi

    This forum is fine for Afaria discussions and questions, no worries. 
    1.  If mobile device is switched off or not network connected then Afaria is not able to do anything with that device.  The content though would be secured, encrypted etc. so that there should be no risk as long as the device is switched off.  The "kill device" command that can be sent from Afaria will work if device is turned on and connected to a network.
    2.  Afaria can force quite a lot of things and one of them is regarding the device itself, forcing a password/pin type of unlocking.  The mobile app normally has it's own mechanism for authentication, user name and password.  That is a SUP function and has little to do with Afaria, I don't believe Afaria can force that part of authentication. 
    You can get a good overview of the technical part of Afaria here:  [Afaria Technical White paper|http://www.sybase.com/files/White_Papers/Afaria-Technical-WP.pdf]

  • I lost my Sync Key on my Desktop Firefox, but i still have it on my Firefox Home (IPhone 4). Is there a way to restore it/show it on the mobile device?

    I'm trying to resync my newly set-up Firefox on Mac OS X. Somehow it never occured to me, that i'd have to save the key.
    So is there a way, as stated in the title, to restore my Sync key from the mobile device, without deleting all of my Bookmarks etc?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Sorry to read that. Unfortunately, because of security reasons, there's no way to retrieve your Sync key from any mobile device. That's why it's really important to keep a secure back up of it.
    The only remaining option at this stage is to save your bookmarks on the phone and manually migrate them to your computer. Once you have done this, reset your account.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service has stopped working. Vista SP2, iTunes 10.5

    Hi there. I've been having an issue syncing my iPhone to iTunes. Here's a description of the problem:
    -With an up-to-date Apple Mobile Device Service, error windows constantly pop-up saying that it has stopped working. If I close the error window, another one pops up fifteen seconds later.
    -If I plug my iPhone into my computer, it is not recognized in iTunes, because Apple Mobile Device Service is not running.
    -This error does not occur on my desktop PC, so I have been able to sync my iPhone by loading all of my files onto a USB and transferring them onto it. However, I would much rather not.
    Here are the steps that I have taken:
    -Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 10.5 with firewall off
    -Individually uninstalled and reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service with firewall off
    -Stopped and Restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service in Administrative Tools -> Services
    -Extensively searched the internet for solutions
    -Replaced Apple Mobile Device Service for iTunes 10.5 with Apple Mobile Device Service for iTunes 10.1 (This worked PARTIALLY. The error windows have now stopped popping up altogether, but I cannot sync with iTunes because the Apple Mobile Device Service is out of date. It asks me to update it, I agree, and I get the Apple Mobile Device Service that spawns error windows and still does not allow me to sync my iPhone.)
    I am running Windows Vista SP2, and iTunes 10.5. My Internet Security suite is AVG Internet Security 2011. My iPhone is running iOS 5.0.0. Here is a full report of the error:

    Just a shot in the dark, but have you downloaded any program from Megaupload, like MegaKey?  If so then that is your problem. I had been having the exact same problem for the past 2 weeks. I couldn't figure out what it was and tried everything that you have.. Then was on a board and someone mentioned Megakey. Having tried everything else, I uninstalled the program and reinstalled the current ITunes and AMDS. My Ipad and Iphone connected with no problem.

  • "Mobile Device helper has stopped working" after installing most recent

    OK. Like a thousand other threads that have been posted over the past week or so on this topic and having tried most of the suggestions, I find myself at a loss.
    After most recent update (which I installed on Monday) from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 all **** has broken loose between my *iPhone, iTunes & Outlook*. This all came to light just hours after the install. . . . I noticed that my phone wasn't syncing - at all, it just "hung" there then I went into my contacts in Outlook - gone. . . UGH, EEK, OK, so they're still on my iPhone BUT I can't get to them in Outlook. After loosing most of yesterday and all of today I am at the mercy of someone who might know how to resolve this issue.
    _*Steps I have taken :*_
    I have un-installed and reinstalled iTunes 5 times, no luck, I've restarted, yada yada yada. I've hidden my Norton's Internet Security, allowed iTunes, etc. *Still no luck*. Take in mind, all was great after months of perfect syncing, etc. no problems whatsoever . . .
    *The two messages that I continue to get when I open iTunes and connect my phone:*
    1) "Mobile Device helper has stopped working"
    2) " Unable to load data-class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later".
    The most recent error message under "Problems Reports & Solutions" on my start menu read:

    Hi,
    I have had the same experience... uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple components only to now be in a position where I can't sync my iphone at all (before I started trying various solutions I could still sync music... now nothing!) and I continually get the messages "mobile device helper has stopped working" and then "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later".
    I even tried reinstalling iTunes 9.0 but somehow I don't have the old library saved - means I lose all the ratings, playlists etc.
    Really frustrating and disappointing.

  • ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

    I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.

    Hi Erik,
    Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
    1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
    2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
    3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
    4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
    5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
    6. REBOOT your PC.
    7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
    8. Plug in your iPhone.
    If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
    Goodluck all!
    Cheers.

  • ITunes reports "Apple Mobile Device" service error

    After much posting and messing around to find a solution to my service crash issues, I have some advice for others to share.
    PROBLEM: If you launch "iTunes" and receive a message indicating that: This i<device> cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started. The iPod/iPhone will not appear, nor will the system allow you to interact with the device.
    CAUSE: There is usually another software installation that is "hooking" into the system and causing issues. These are usually in the form of proxy, firewall, anti-virus, and/or remote control programs.
    SOLUTION: Use the "Computer Management" MMC (right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage") to track down the issue. Please do the following:
    1) Check the "Services" section. You should see an entry called "Apple Mobile Device". This should be started with a startup value of "Automatic". If the status is "Stopped" (or at least indicates that it is not "Started"), then attempt to start the service. if nothing else, this will tell you if the required binary/executable is located in the correct directory for the service entry. If the service cannot start, or if the service reports that the file is missing, attempt to re-install the "Apple Mobile Device" MSI. Worse case, you may need to uninstall iTunes and re-install.
    2) Try crashing the service again. The usual symptoms of this issue are that the service can be started, and will operate fine until iTunes is loaded, at which point the error message appears regarding the service (not being started). If you check the "services" section at this time, you will likely see that the previously running service is now stopped. Doing this will also create a new set of crash events in teh event log. Take note of the time when you "crash" the service and continue to the next step.
    3) Check the "Event Viewer" section. locate the time of the service crash. The entries should be listed with a red "X" icon. now look at the event. This should tell you what the "Faulting module name" is. If you are using a proxy application or firewall, you may see something like "FPServiceProvider.dll" (Foxyproxy), "MPFP.dll" (McAfee Firewall), or even a generic entry like "ntdll.dll" (The Windows user environment). In every case (except "ntdll.dll") you swhould be able to search the web for the "DLL" or "EXE" name and work out what application is causing the issue. in the case of "ntdll.dll", you'll need to look for software that hooks into your system. Software like "DyKnow" remote control and other remote administration tools.
    If you have installed a remote administration, remote control and/or security suite between a working iTunes and one that crashes, you may want to start with removing those as a test. Once I removed our faulty application (and it's hooks into the OS), iTunes funcationality was fully restored.
    This is a "for your information" post. Hopefully it will save the trouble I had to go through to fix this problem.

    Thank you so much for this. This was the most helpful advice I could found and seems likely to be applicable to many other people. I had the problem of my iPhone suddenly not being recognized by iTunes and I couldn't figure out why. Although I didn't have exactly the same scenario as the OP, (no actual crash, just an error message from iTunes saying device could not be used because Apple Mobile Device Service was not started) I used the info above to localise the conflicting software (proxy software - doh!). After uninstalling that and rebooting everything is good again. Thanks once more.

  • Errors with Apple Mobile Device Support- won't install!

    I've been grappling with getting iTunes 9 to recognize my iPhone for a month now (BUT iPod mini is syncing fine.) After multiple troubleshooting efforts with this forum, Apple Support articles, and actual Apple employees, I finally realized the error is with AMDS. In the times I've tried reinstalling iTunes, everything except AMDS was fine. For AMDS, it would always say "Rolling back action".
    So I decided to extract the iTunes setup file, access AMDS.msi and repair/reinstall. Didn't work because it rolled back again. Took more tips reading other threads by uninstalling, rebooting, and installing AMDS, but STILL rolling back. I even renamed the Apple file (ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/Apple I believe) and it's still rolling back! I have no idea why.
    Plus in my Common Files I have multiple Apple files. There's Apple, Apple(2) and Apple(5). I tried renaming all of those and still get the rolling back and error message from AMDS. Any ideas?

    Okay ... so it's not (or at least, vastly less likely to be) shonky AMDS installation configuration information that we're dealing with here.
    Right ... let's try making some forward progress again. (Best to print out a copy of the instructions ... you won't be able to use a browser at one point in proceedings.)
    First, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. If it is present, delete the *Mobile Device Support* folder.
    Now, uninstall your iTunes.
    Now, download and save a copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't install from the downloaded file just yet.)
    Reboot the PC. Don't open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Disable your Security Software (antivirus, firewall, antispyware).
    Now start the iTunes install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe you downloaded earlier.
    After the install attempt, you can reenable your Security software and then reconnect to the internet.
    ... Any better luck with that install attempt?

  • "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install with iTunes

    When I install iTunes 11.3 on my pc "Apple Mobile Device Support" doesn't install.
    The installer installs
    Apple Application Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    iTunes
    But it doesn't install "Apple Mobile Device Support"
    My OS is "Windows 8.1 64bit"
    i have ESET Smart Security installed on my PC but when i want to install itunes i disable it .
    i removed and installed itunes completely several times but it didn't help !
    sb help me pls !!!!

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Mobile Device Support, won't install normally.

  • Apple Mobile Device Service Quits repeatedly

    This just started happening a few days ago. When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes,it says "iPhone cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device Service is not started." I followed the instructions found on this site and,by turning the service back on for Bonjour and Apple and it worked. Then next time I tried synching, it did the same thing. Now everytime. Help?

    This can often be caused by security software producing a false positive. Try temporarily disabling your security program if you have one installed. If that fixes the issue, most of these programs have a method for allowing a blocked service or application.
    See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
    If this is not the case or the issue persists, you might try reinstalling iTunes and related components.

  • I've been trying to install itunes on windows 7 but apple mobile device will not install

    I've finally managed to narrow the problem down to the following file:
    C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.119\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi: The archive is corrupt
    this is the file delivered with itunes and it's definitely causing the problem because when I try to install one I downloaded from
    http://www.javakrypt.com/itunes/
    it installed ok, however when I try to run itunes the amd driver is installed the ipod connects but itunes has a version issue with the AMD driver and asks for a reinstallation of itunes.
    My question to apple is where can I download an incorrupted AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi file for the latest release of itunes, and can you pleas everify that the version you are deploying with the current version is not corrupted.(The first file I see when I extract the MSI file has a random character file name with no modified date and a size of 16640. WInrar refuses to extract any files from the msi file.
    I believe many people are having this problem and if they can get this file it may their problem as well.

    OK I've fixed the problem and my thanks go to redmars.com.au (link below plus copy of solution)
    http://www.redmars.com.au/blog/itsupport/327
    To summarise what I did I
    0. the pnputil -e uninstallation didn't work for me so 
    1. modified the permissions on the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_hexidecidforyourcomputer folder so that I could access it
    2. I deleted the files in this folder
    3. Retried the install from command line with log file enabled but it still rolled back, but in the log file I noted it wasn't finding the netaapI64 files and when I checked the above folder these files were missing.
    4. I tried copying the files from the msi file using winrar but this failed passing a file corrupted error message and files copied had a zero byte size (i.e. empty)
    5. I copied the files from a friends folder who didn't have this problem files are (netaapI64.cat, netaapI64.inf, netaapI64.PNF, netaapI64.sys and wdfcoinstaller01009.dll)
    6. retried the install from the command line and it worked. Started itunes connected itouch, it installed the drivers and the itouch appeared in itunes.
    I can now access my ipod from itunes.
    The only problem now you face now is how to get the uncorrupted files detailed above. Does anyone have a solution to this? Winrar states files are corrupted. but they obviously aren't otherwis ethe installation wouldn't work.
    text for solution here follows :
    I recently came across a problem on a Windows 7 64bit laptop where Apple's iTunes was failing to recognise a connected iPhone. It was giving a error that the wrong version of iTunes was installed and I should install the 64bit version of iTunes. As I had no idea how what had been performed up until this point I performed a full uninstall of iTunes. I then downloaded the latest version of iTunes 10.5.1 and ran through the installer. At one point during the install I noticed the install gave the message 'Rolling back action' and thought to myself this cannot be good.
    At the end iTunes indicated it had a problem installing and I should try again. The weird thing is if you didn't pay attention to the message you could quite easily click on ok and iTunes will work except it'll fail to recognise any iPod, iPhone or iPad device. To help identify what actually failed to install I checked the windows services management console and found the Apple Mobile Device Service was missing. This makes sense because it's that service which communicates with the iPhone. The question is why was the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) failing to install?
    To find out I needed to capture a log file of the install process. A bit of research helped me identify that the iTunes64Setup.exe contained 5 separate windows installer files:
    AppleApplicationSupport.msi
    AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
    AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    Bonjour64.msi
    iTunes64.msi
    I needed to extract AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi from iTunes64Setup.exe so I could generate a install log. The solution is to install WinRAR which you can download here http://rarlab.com/download.htm. After extracting AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi to c:\temp (you can use any folder you like here) I opened a command prompt and issued these commands:
    cd c:\temp
    msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log
    This will attempt to install the AMDS and generate an installation log c:\temp\AMDS.log. Looking through the log I found the install failed because the format of C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2c bd989eec1514\netaapl64.inf was invalid. I opened the file in question and found it to be completely blank. I coulnd't just delete the files in question because they are protected by the Windows operating system, and anyway the correct method to remove a driver package from the driver store is to use the pnputil.exe tool. However if the driver package didn't complete installation in the first place then it may not work, but it was always worth a try.
    To use pnputil I needed to run a command prompt as an administrator. I Clicked Start, All Programs, and Accessories, then right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator. From the command prompt type I typed in pnputil.exe -e. This produced a list of installed driver packages. Looking through the list I was looking for something like this:
    Published name :            oem30.inf  Driver package provider :   Apple  Class :                     Network adapters  Driver date and version :   07/12/2011 1.8.4.2  Signer name :               Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
    This is the Apple network adapter driver. The important information here is the Published name oem30.inf. To uninstall the driver use the command pnputil -d oem30.inf (replace oem30.inf with the correct published name for your PC). After this try and the install again: msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log. If this fails or as in my case the driver package doesn't show in the list of installed drivers you'll need to take more drastic (and potentially dangerous to your PC's health!) measures.
    By default the files in the driver repository are read only and can only be modified by the Windows Operating System, and this is for a good reason. I needed to change the permissions on the driver package so I could delete the corrupt files. Caution proceed at your own risk, make a mistake here and your computer may stop working and a system restore or rebuild may be required.
    The first thing I needed to do was to take ownership of the folder so I could change the permissions. From windows explorer I clicked on Folder and search options under the organize button. Next I clicked the view tab and clicked on Show hidden files, folders, and drives. By unticking hide extensions for known file types and unticking Hide protected operating system files I was able to view the files I needed to remove. From the windows explorer window I browsed to browse to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\, which was now visible and right clicked the netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2cbd989eec1514 folder and selected properties. I clicked the security tab and then the Advanced button. Under Advanced I clicked the Owner tab and then clicked the Edit button. From the change owner to: box I selected my username, and then ticked Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and clicked OK to set the changes.
    Next I gave myself Full Control to the folder and files. Back on the Security tab I clicked the Edit button, and with Everyone highlighted in the Groups or user names I ticked full control in the Allow column. I clicked OK and accepted the warning message Windows presents about security and access problems. At this point I could delete the contents of the netaapl64.inf_amd64_neutral_dc2cbd989eec1514 folder.
    I tried re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) using msiexec -i AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi -log AMDS.log command and I no longer got the Rolling back action error. All that I had left to do now was install iTunes again and the iPhone was now recognized when I connected it to the PC.

  • Apple mobile device won't restart and it says that I don't have sufficient privileges to start the service.

    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.

    it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled
    3. Reinstall iTunes and related components
    If the Apple Mobile Device Service still will not start, this could be caused by third-party security software. Please follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
