Abstract: A system and methods for allowing an enterprise management system to provision and configure a WWAN communication device on a managed network without incurring the tedious task of manually entering all the configuration information for every WWAN communication device on the enterprise management system. A dedicated communication link is provided with a standard communication protocol so each WWAN device can communicate with a carrier server and have the carrier server acts as a validation point and communication bridge to the enterprise management server until the WWAN communication device is configured for management by the enterprise management server.

Abstract: A method of securing a software application on a mobile device is described. The method includes configuring the mobile device with a management server to allow the mobile device to communicate wirelessly over a wireless network. A listing of applications is transmitted to the management server over the wireless network. The management server generates user credentials data to associate at least one user with an authorization to access at least one application residing on the mobile device. The management server transmits the user credentials data to the mobile device over the wireless network. The mobile device accesses the user credentials data when a user attempts to access the software application on the mobile device. The user is permitted to execute the software application when the user credentials data indicates that the user is authorized to access the software application.
