            Certificate-Based Authentication

            Using certificates to authenticate simplifies provisioning your mobile users, and your day-to-day mobile administration tasks by eliminating usernames and passwords.

            Salesforce uses X.509 certificates to authenticate users more efficiently, or as a second factor in the login process.

            MDM Settings for Certificate-Based Authentication

            To enable certificate-based authentication for your mobile users, you configure key-value pair assignments through your MDM suite.

            Here are the supported keys:

            Key Data Type Platform Description
            RequireCertAuth Boolean Android, iOS

            If true, the certificate-based authentication flow initiates.

            Android: Uses the user certificate on the device for authentication inside a webview.

            iOS: Redirects the user to Safari for all authentication requests.

            ManagedApp​CertAlias String Android Alias of the certificate deployed on the device picked by the app for user authentication. Required for Android only.

            After you save your key-value pair assignments, you can push the mobile app with the updated certificate-based authentication flow to your users via your MDM suite.
