4.8.20 is here
DuoSTATION® MDM v4.8.20 contains new features, optimizations and bug fixes. Here are the most important.
2-factor authentication
To make the login process more secure it’s now possible to use 2-factor authentication. It’s handled on user level in the system by entering a mobile phone number in the field “Phone” and selecting “Send 4 digit PIN code by SMS”:
After a valid user name and password has been entered at login, a new web page is displayed where the user is prompted to enter the correct PIN-code:
Android
We have improved the handling of ‘lost mode’ on devices running Android 8+.
The handling of push-notifications has been improved, so commands – like ‘wipe’ and ‘lock’, are sent with higher priority.
Now it’s possible to delete messages sent to Android devices within the app.
Configurations
Single-app mode
Before it was possible to use “Single app mode” for devices running iOS and tvOS. Now it’s also possible to use this feature for devices running Android 9 (or later) that also have “device owner mode” activated:
We have also made this configuration easier to handle for iOS devices and tvOS devices, by adding more system-apps and links to pages with system app identifiers.
App blocking
We have made “App blocking”-configurations easier to handle for iOS devices and tvOS devices, by adding more system-apps and links to pages with system app identifiers.
Exchange
For devices running iOS 13+, it’s now possible to configure which features in Exchange/Outlook to sync:
iOS 13
Fixed so devices running iPadOS 13 no longer are identified as Mac when enrolling manually.
Added new steps in the DEP-profile:
Other
The links to the old sites for DEP and VPP are now removed.
We have added the following configuration variables:
| Variable | Explanation |
| %DEVICE_PHONE_NUMBER_SWEDISH% | Replaces +46 of the phone number of the device with 0. |
| %USER_PHONE_NUMBER_SWEDISH% | Replaces +46 of the phone number of the user with 0. |
