Abstract: Techniques for auto-starting a VPN in a MAM environment are disclosed. A MAM-controlled application is launched on a computer system. Policy is queried and a determination is made as to whether to auto-start a VPN application based on the policy. Based on the policy, the VPN application is auto-started, and the VPN application initiates a VPN tunnel that is usable by at least the MAM-controlled application. Network communications transmitted to or from the MAM-controlled application then pass through the VPN tunnel.

Abstract: Controlling application behavior in the context of managed accounts. A device includes one or more applications. At least one of the applications is configured to be used with a plurality of user accounts including zero or more managed user accounts. The device includes or communicates with a client component. The client component is configured to identify active user accounts for the applications. The client component is further configured to receive policy from a management system, where the policy specifies application controls a user account basis. The client component is further configured to enforce application configuration based on the policy from the management system and the active user accounts.

Abstract: Embodiments may include sharing application management data between sandboxed applications on a device. A method includes sending application management data from a first sandboxed application in a first sandbox on the device to a sharing service external to the first sandbox. The method further includes receiving at a second sandboxed application in a second sandbox on the device, a representation of the application management data. Based on the representation of the application management data, the method includes performing an application management function.

Abstract: Selectively wiping data. A method includes identifying a plurality of datasets on a device. The method further includes identifying one or more datasets, on a dataset basis, from among the plurality of datasets that are managed datasets associated with a particular user account by being associated with an account identifier for the particular user account at a data structure external to the device. The managed datasets are associated with a particular user account by being associated with an account identifier for the particular user account. The method further includes receiving an indication that managed data associated with the particular user account should be wiped from the device. The method further includes wiping the one or more datasets that are identified as being managed datasets associated with a particular user account while not wiping datasets from the plurality of datasets that are not associated with the particular user account.

Abstract: Determining whether or not a device is managed. A method includes, as part of running a particular application, determining whether or not certain state and/or data (such as a particular specialized font, a particular certificate chain, or particular xml policy setting) is present on the device. When the certain state and/or data is present on the device, the method includes determining that the device is managed, otherwise, determining that the device is not managed.
