Enforcing device settings for mobile devices
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method comprising;
sending, from a device, a first request to a server, wherein the first request is a request to access data maintained by the server;
receiving a notification indicating that the current device configuration settings are not acceptable for accessing the data maintained by the server;
receiving at least one device configuration setting, wherein the at least one configuration setting comprises a personal identification number (PIN) lock activation setting that imposes requirements for establishing a PIN lock on the device;
applying, by the device, the at least one device configuration setting;
after applying the at least one device configuration setting, sending an indication that the device has applied the at least one device configuration setting and a second request to access the data maintained by the server; and
in response to sending the second request, receiving at least a portion of the maintained data.

Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for enforcing device settings for mobile devices. Generally, a computer system enforces appropriate mobile device settings (e.g., policy and/or configuration settings) prior to permitting a mobile device to access maintained data. The computer system receives a request from a mobile device. The computer system determines that current mobile device settings are not appropriate for accessing the maintained data. The computer system sends device settings, representing a new mobile device configuration that is appropriate accessing the maintained data, to the mobile device. The computer system receives an indication that the mobile device is configured in accordance with the device settings. The computer system permits the mobile device to access the maintained data in response to receiving the indication that the mobile device is configured in accordance with the device settings.

17. A system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and memory encoding computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method comprising; receiving a first request from a mobile device, wherein the first request is to access data; determining that current policy settings for the mobile device are not appropriate for accessing the data; sending, to the mobile device, at least one device configuration setting, wherein the at least one configuration setting comprises a personal identification number (PIN) lock activation setting that imposes requirements for establishing a PIN lock on the device; after sending the at least one device configuration setting, receiving an indication that the device has applied the at least one device configuration setting and a second request to access the data; and in response to the second request, providing access to the data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
