Operating Systems & Information Services CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS First look at the Mobile Framework Ivan Deloose, Michał Kwiatek IT-OIS CERN APPS, 21 June 2013

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Why Mobile Framework? 2 Last time we saw that we could sign iOS apps with a CERN enterprise certificate and make them available on any web site Android apps can be made available through any web site, too We now need a central place where apps could be listed and made availble based on certain criteria

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Demo - iOS 3

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Demo – Android 4

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Demo – Android (continued) 5

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Current status Agent-less, 100% pull model: –Soon in production at Recognition of the device based on its IP address Recognition of the device’s OS based on the owners declaration in the network db –Declared OS should be „iOS” or „Android” Grouping of devices based on their owner’s department / group Making packages available based on this grouping –Users can see only the packages published for their organizational unit or specific device list. Powered by CMF –similar logic as for making applications available for PCs 6

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Limitations Limited to CERN wireless network –Not available over 3G Apps listed based on what was „published” for a given device group –but no restrictions for download if someone knows the URL Access security needs to be implemented in the app if required No agent on the device, so: –No reporting of the device’s configuration –No management of updates 7

CERN IT Department CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland t OIS Next steps If you have an app that you want to make available to CERN users, but you don’t want to publish it via the Apple App Store or Google Play, please contact us and we will: –Sign the app with CERN certificate (for iOS) –Create a package for it in the Mobile Framework –Publish it for the machines according to your criteria –Listen to your feedback and learn in the process 8
