mobilEcho 5.0
ENHANCEMENTS
The mobilEcho Client Management Server is integrated with Acronis Access Server and built on
Apache Tomcat and PostgreSQL database for improved scalability and resilience.
The mobilEcho Administrator previously used to manage individual mobilEcho servers has been
removed; Access Gateway Servers (formerly mobilEcho File Access Servers) are now managed
directly within the Acronis Access Server web administration user interface.
mobilEcho Client Management Server configuration file has been removed; configuration
settings previously in the configuration file are automatically migrated and are now managed
through the Acronis Access Server web administration user interface.
Configuration of data sources (formerly assigned "Folders") to be shared to mobile devices has
been redesigned.
New "Assigned Sources" capability allows administrators to get a report of all of the assigned
resources that a particular Active Directory user or group will receive.
Audit logging can be enabled to report on mobile user activity across multiple Acronis Access
Gateway Servers.
Administrators can now be granted different permissions for administrative activity, including
managing users, data sources, mobile policies or viewing the audit log. This can be based on
individual users and/or membership in Active Directory groups.
Devices operations such as remote wipe or removing devices from the device list can now be
performed in batches.
A catch-all "default" policy can be configured which applies to all users that don't match
configured Active Directory user or group policies.
New policy options allow specification that content on the device within the "My Files" and
"File Inbox" folders expires and is removed after a certain amount of time.
When sending an enrollment invitation to an Active Directory group, users who are already
enrolled through another group can be filtered out.
A warning is presented if a user is invited for enrollment but does not match any existing
user/group policy.
The devices table now lists the user or group policy in use for each device.
Cached Active Directory / LDAP information about users is now updated periodically in the
background.
Content searching is now available against remote Windows file shares running Windows Search.
A policy cannot be be deleted if a device is being managed by it
mobilEcho enrollment invitation templates can be modified directly from within the web
administration console. Multiple languages for each template are supported.
A new token is available in the enrollment invitation templates to include the Active Directory
user's Display Name.
Devices list and device details screen now show whether devices are managed by Good Dynamics
or MobileIron AppConnect.
Support for authenticating to the web administration console using SSLv2 has been deprecated
by the transition to the Apache Tomcat web server.
Support for trace logging and performance monitoring via New Relic.
