Abstract: A network environment can include a proxy management server. The proxy management server can have access to multiple disparately located MDM servers. A mobile device receives configuration information including a network address of the proxy management server. The mobile device stores the network address of the proxy management server. In response to receiving a management notification such as notification that one or more of the multiple MDM servers has management information (e.g., commands, data, etc., to be executed by the mobile device) available for the mobile device, the mobile device utilizes the stored network address to communicate with the proxy management server. The proxy management server checks availability of the management information from multiple disparately located MDM management servers. The proxy management server retrieves the management information from the management servers and forwards it to the mobile device.

Abstract: A multi-component control technique includes a first component and a second component. The first component is supplemental code or evaluation engine as specified by a modification to a set of received originally compiled executable code. The modification to the original executable code ensures that, upon execution, the supplemental code (such as an evaluation engine) as specified by the modification is executed upon initial instantiation or use of the application. The second component is a retrievable and executable policy such as a set of rules fetched and used by the supplemental code to control the functionality supported by the originally compiled executable code of the corresponding application. An application administrator can produce the retrievable policy to control functionality of the originally compiled executable code.
