Assigning preferences and security settings to devices

There are different ways to assign settings that determine how users work with the IBM Traveler server. You can use the built-in set of default device preferences and security settings that IBM Traveler provides, which is simpler. Or you can create a IBM Traveler policy settings document, which provides greater flexibility and control but is more complex to configure.

Before you begin

If you are using a IBM Traveler policy settings document, the template of the address book on the IBM Traveler server should be at the latest Domino 901 pubnames.ntf template to ensure all the available tabs and settings are available.

Note: IBM Traveler defined device security settings apply to Exchange ActiveSync devices (Apple devices, Blackberry 10, Windows Phone) unless otherwise noted. However, the device preference settings (Sync settings, filter settings, and device settings) do not apply.
Note: IBM Traveler defined device security settings apply to BlackBerry 10 devices that are configured for direct connection to IBM Traveler (and not activated on a BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10.) For BlackBerry 10 devices that connect to IBM Traveler using BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, the BES10 managed security policies take precedence, and the IBM Traveler Exchange ActiveSync policy settings will be ignored.
