Windows Phone and Windows RT device security

There are special considerations to be aware of when securing a Windows Phone or a Windows RT device.

Authentication

IBM Traveler relies on the Domino® infrastructure (HTTP and Admin Client) to authenticate the user. The authentication credentials can be one of the user's allowed Domino® name formats, along with the user's HTTP password, or it can be something defined with the Directory Assistance database. All devices use HTTP Basic Auth, so HTTPS is recommended for security reasons unless using a VPN or a secured network. Please see Windows Phone server administration and configuration for more information.

Account information and passwords

Mail, Calendar, and Contacts are controlled with the Exchange ActiveSync account. Those credentials are controlled by Microsoft.

Data storage

Windows Phone and Windows RT device have device encryption throughout the entire device including the OS and its applications. Encryption kicks in as soon as you power up the device.
