1. A method, comprising:

  • displaying, by one or more computing devices and via a user interface, at least one first setting of policy settings for a managed application that is to be made available for download to a mobile device, wherein each of the policy settings provides a constraint to be enforced by the mobile device prior to the managed application being provided access to at least one resource that is accessible through an access gateway, wherein the at least one first setting instructs that a private secure container, which is to be private to the managed application, is to be configured on the mobile device such that a first read or write operation from the managed application is to be redirected to the private secure container;

    displaying, by the one or more computing devices and via the user interface, at least one second setting of the policy settings, wherein the at least one second setting instructs that a shared secure container, which is to be accessible by at least one other managed application, is to be configured on the mobile device such that a second read or write operation from the managed application is to be redirected to the shared secure container;

    displaying, by the one or more computing devices and via the user interface, at least one third setting of the policy settings, wherein the at least one third setting instructs that a ticket is to be used by the mobile device in connection with accessing the at least one resource via a per-application policy controlled virtual private network (VPN) tunnel that is inaccessible to other applications of the mobile device, and wherein the ticket is configured to provide authentication in connection with establishing and re-establishing the per-application policy-controlled VPN tunnel to the at least one resource;

    modifying, in accordance with input received via the user interface, the policy settings, resulting in modified policy settings;

    producing a policy file for the managed application that includes the modified policy settings; and

    providing the policy file such that the policy is available for download to the mobile device.
