Abstract

A method for providing an administration policy to a user device comprising a plurality of applications, the method comprising centrally generating the administration policy to be implemented in the user device, the administration policy comprising at least one of an application administration policy to be used by at least one of the plurality of applications and a client administration policy for the user device; and providing the generated policy to the user device.

Claims (34)

1. A method for generating administration policies at a server for implementation on a user device, the method comprising:

generating a client administration policy, wherein the client administration policy is to be used, on the user device, to provide management of the user device;

generating an application administration policy, the application administration policy to be used to provide management of at least one application executable by the user device; and

transmitting, to the user device:

the application administration policy; and

the client administration policy.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the client administration policy is to be used, on the user device, to manage the application container.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising basing the generating the client administration policy on type information.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of the at least one application.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of user.

6. The method of claim 1 further comprising basing the generating the application administration policy on type information.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of the at least one application.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of user.

9. A server comprising:

a memory storing computer-readable instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor adapted to execute the computer-readable instructions to cause the processor to:

generate a client administration policy, wherein the client administration policy is to be used, on a user device, to provide management of a the user device;

generate an application administration policy, the application administration policy to be used to provide management of at least one application executable by the user device; and

transmit, to the user device:

the application administration policy; and

the client administration policy.

10. The server of claim 9 wherein the client administration policy is to be used, on the user device, to manage the application container.

11. The server of claim 9 wherein the computer-readable instructions further cause the processor to base the generating the client administration policy on type information.

12. The server of claim 11 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of application.

13. The server of claim 11 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of user.

14. The server of claim 9 wherein the computer-readable instructions further cause the processor to base the generating the application administration policy on type information.

15. The server of claim 14 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of application.

16. The server of claim 14 wherein the type information comprises information about a type of user.

17. A computer-readable memory containing instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor of a server, cause the server to:

generate a client administration policy, wherein the client administration policy is to be used, on a user device, to provide management of a the user device;

generate an application administration policy, the application administration policy to be used to provide management of at least one application executable by the user device; and

transmit, to the user device:

the application administration policy; and

the client administration policy.
