Policy add using Rest API in WSO2 EMM

You can add a policy using REST API given in EMM. For the use the dynamic registration client given.
below sample curl command will return client id and secret


curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"owner":"admin","clientName":"admin_emm","grantType":"refresh_token password client_credentials","tokenScope":"prod"}' https://localhost:9443/dynamic-client-web/register

This will return a response like below

{"client_secret":"YCnfi_jp9Tso0qyRcbGxaQnYctga","callback_url":null,"client_id":"xJvKvUHNYqfK1MeQ_VybtBfF5MAa","client_name":"admin_admin_emm"}

Use the client id and secret by encoding using base64 to generate access token using below command

curl -k -d "grant_type=password&username=admin&password=admin&scope=default " -H "Authorization: Basic eEp2S3ZVSE5ZcWZLMU1lUV9WeWJ0QmZGNU1BYTpZQ25maV9qcDlUc28wcXlSY2JHeGFRblljdGdh" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" https://localhost:9443/oauth2/token

This will return a response like below

{"scope":"default","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":3600,"refresh_token":"97c3c78b8c2c4e2ccd5424ffc7259d3e","access_token":"60a810d5baa3361af9aa5e6d8cf76ea9"}

Use the generated access token to call the policy publishing API. 

Below is a sample curl command to create black list policy

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 60a810d5baa3361af9aa5e6d8cf76ea9" -d @'operation.json' -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/policies/active-policy


Resource path  : /active-policy
URL : /mdm-admin/policies/active-policy
HTTP Method : POST
Request/Response format : application/json

Sample payload in operation.json is 

{
  "policyName": "black list",
  "description": "",
  "compliance": "enforce",
  "ownershipType": "ANY",
  "profile": {
    "profileName": "black list",
    "deviceType": {
      "id": 1
    },
    "profileFeaturesList": [
      {
        "featureCode": "APP-RESTRICTION",
        "deviceTypeId": 1,

            },
            {
              "appName": "app name2",
              "packageName": "package2"
            },
            {
              "appName": "app name3",
              "packageName": "package3"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "roles": [
    "ANY"
  ]
}


After making above curl command you will get successful response as below

What is Application Black List?
Black listed applications are the applications that are not allowed to run on the device.

Application black lists and white lists can be deployed on devices as device policies. Follow the below steps to create black list.

1. Enroll a device on EMM.
2. Create an app restriction policy
  i) Go to the EMM main window by issuing below url to the browser address bar
      https://localhost:9443/emm/
  ii) Click policy add button as shown in below

iii) Choose the platform. ex : I choose android platform.


iv) Click Applications Restrictions profile and click Off toggle button to On the profile



v) Choose black list from select box and add applications as below. Note that to add a description about the application in App Name/Description column and to add the package name of the application in Package Name column. Click continue button.

WSO2 APP Manager(APPM) and WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager (EMM) integration

There are two separate cases for APPM and EMM integration

1. APPM and EMM on a single JVM. ex : EMM standalone pack.
2. APPM and EMM on separate JVMs. ex : clustered scenario

For the first case, EMM standalone vanilla pack should work without changing any configuration.

For the second case, There are some configurations which should be done. Follow the below steps to configure APPM and EMM on separate JVMs.

1. If you run APPM and EMM on same machine change the port offset of one pack. Let's change the port offset of APPM pack.

i) Change the port offset of carbon.xml to 10 which is in <APPM_HOME>/repository/conf directory.
ii) Since APPM default authentication mechanism is SAML SSO change the port of IdentityProviderUrl also in app-manager.xml

 ex : Change the port as shown in light green

<SSOConfiguration>

        <!-- URL of the IDP use for SSO -->
        <IdentityProviderUrl>https://localhost:9453/samlsso</IdentityProviderUrl>

        <Configurators>
            <Configurator>
                <name>wso2is</name>
                <version>5.0.0</version>
                <providerClass>org.wso2.carbon.appmgt.impl.idp.sso.configurator.IS500SAMLSSOConfigurator</providerClass>
                <parameters>
                    <providerURL>https://localhost:9453</providerURL>
                    <username>admin</username>
                    <password>admin</password>
                </parameters>
            </Configurator>
        </Configurators>

    </SSOConfiguration>

iii) Change the port offset to 9453 for all the ports found in sso-idp-config.xml which is located in <APP_HOME>/repository/conf/identity directory.

Now setting port offset is done.

2. Now create a mobile app by going to App Manager publisher. publish it and it will be available in APPM store.
3. Create an OAuth application in EMM by following article How to map existing oauth apps in wso2.
4. Open the app-manager.xml in APPM and find for a configuration called MobileAppsConfiguration. change ActiveMDM property to WSO2MDM.

ex: <Config name="ActiveMDM">WSO2MDM</Config>

Change the MDM properties named as WSO2MDM as follows. Change the port to EMM port of ServerURL and TokenApiURL. Here client key and client secret is which returned from EMM when OAuth application is created.

<MDM name="WSO2MDM" bundle="org.wso2.carbon.appmgt.mdm.restconnector">
                <Property name="ImageURL">/store/extensions/assets/mobileapp/resources/models/%s.png</Property>
                <Property name="ServerURL">https://localhost:9453/mdm-admin</Property>
                <Property name="TokenApiURL">https://localhost:9453/oauth2/token</Property>
                <Property name="ClientKey">veQtMV1aH1iX0AFWQckJLiooTxUa</Property>
                <Property name="ClientSecret">cFGPUbV11yf9WgsL18d1Oga6JR0a</Property>
                <Property name="AuthUser">admin</Property>
                <Property name="AuthPass">admin</Property>
            </MDM>

5. Enrol your device in MDM.
6. Now you can install apps using app manager store to devices enrolled in EMM.
