Abstract:

An organization uses an independent separate authentication system to authenticate users or the organization for access to resources of the organization. The organization also uses an MDM system independent both of the organization and of the authentication system to administer the client devices of the organization's users and to ensure that the client devices handle the resources of the organization in a secure manner. In order to allow the authentication system to consider MDM management status of a client device when authenticating a user, the authentication system and the organization cooperate to establish a mechanism whereby the authentication system can securely determine whether a particular client device requesting access to an organization resource is in fact managed by an MDM system.
