This section describes the enhancements included in Mobile Connect 5.0.

  • iOS 11 Compatibility - Mobile Connect has adopted the bold, dynamic new style elements introduced in iOS 11 including large title bars, landscape tab bars and more.
  • Client Certificate Importer - Allows a user to import client certificates for logging into remote servers. These digital certificates are sent from the client to the server at the start of a session. They prove the identification of the user. You can import client certificates from apps such as Mail, Outlook, or web browsers like Safari. Supported starting in Mobile Connect 5.0.4.
  • Network Extension Support - Mobile Connect also leverages Apple's current VPN framework, called Network Extension, to allow for more reliable VPN connectivity on iOS devices.
