Chapter 7 Conguration and management 63
•
Prevent Backup: This restriction prevents managed apps from backing up data to iCloud or
iTunes. Disallowing backup prevents managed app data from being recovered if the app is
removed via MDM but later reinstalled by the user.
iOS 8 adds these management capabilities:
•
Safari downloads from managed domains: Downloads from Safari are considered managed
documents if they originate from a managed domain. For example, if a user downloads a PDF
using Safari from a managed domain, that PDF complies with all managed document settings.
•
iCloud document management: This restriction prevents managed apps from storing data
in iCloud. For example, data created or used by a managed app can’t be stored in iCloud,
however data created by users in unmanaged apps can be stored in iCloud.
Restricting third-party keyboards
iOS 8 supports Managed Open In rules that apply to third-party keyboard extensions. This
prevents unmanaged keyboards from appearing over managed apps.
Managed books
With iOS 8 and OS X Mavericks or later, you can distribute and manage books, ePubs, and
PDFs that you create or purchase using MDM—allowing for seamless management of training
materials and other business documents.
Books, ePubs, and PDFs distributed by MDM have the same properties as other managed
documents—they can be shared only with other managed apps or mailed using managed
accounts. Books purchased through the Volume Purchase Program can be distributed through
managed book distribution, but can’t be revoked and reassigned. A book already purchased by
the user can’t be managed, unless that book is explicitly assigned to the user using the Volume
Purchase Program.
Managed domains
In iOS 8, you can manage specic URLs and subdomains. Any documents coming from those
domains are also considered managed and will follow the behavior of the existing Managed
Open In restrictions. Paths following the domain are managed by default. Alternate subdomains
aren’t included unless a wildcard is applied. Domains entered in Safari with www (for example,
www.example.com) are treated as .example.com.
