Deploy Cortex XDR for Android Using an MDM
For ease of deployment, you can use a mobile device management (MDM)
system such as AirWatch, to deploy the Cortex XDR app to your managed Android
devices.
For ease of deployment, you can use a mobile
device management (MDM) system such as Workspace ONE (formerly AirWatch), MobileIron,
or the Google Admin Console, to deploy the Cortex XDR app to your managed
Android devices. Cortex XDR for Android may also work with additional untested
MDM systems that support the following dynamic fields:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
referrer | The distribution ID. To obtain the distribution
ID, Create an Installation Package from
the Cortex XDR and copy the download link. This link contains the
distribution ID required to associate the app with your Cortex XDR
tenant. |
firstName | Dynamic field for user's first name. |
lastName | Dynamic field for user's last name |
email | Dynamic field for user’s email |
If you install Cortex XDR for Android in an
Android work profile, Cortex XDR scans all managed apps in the work
profile.
The
Google Admin Console does not support dynamic values. Instead, you configure
only the distribution ID and deploy your Cortex XDR agent. When
the Cortex XDR app starts for the first time and no user information
is available, the app identifies the current account that is in
use and provides the associated user information to the Cortex XDR.
To
deploy Cortex XDR for Android from Workspace ONE:
- In Workspace ONE, add Cortex XDR for Android to your app list.
- Assign Cortex XDR for Android to a deployment group.
- Edit the Application Configuration to provide value string pairs using the lookup value option or enter in the values.
For the referrer, you can paste the entire download link associated with your installation package. Or you can extract the referrer from the link and paste only the distribution ID. - Add and then publish the configuration to your devices.
