Disable "Open In" on mobile devices

The "Open In" feature in iOS to external applications can be disabled. This is one of the measure to prevent residual content residing outside the secure container of EasiShare application. and it is a security leak where documents can reside in other applications.  Can this be done?

 

In the CA Web:

  1. Select the Policy Menu
  2. Select the policy name
  3. Set the "Open In" to False.

    Yes this is possible, as EasiShare has this specific mobile security in mind.

    In the Webservice web.config there is a parameter you can use to control this behaviour:

    <iOSOpenIn>true</iOSOpenIn>

    This is for iOS devices only.  It is not applicable for Android devices as Android app does not have internal viewers/readers and have to be open using another application.

    If it set to true: It will allow the user to open a document with an external   application.

    If it set to false: There will be no option for user to   open files with an   external application using EasiShare.

    Default value is true.

    Corrections.

    It should be in CentralConfig.xml (c:\apps\ws\app_data)

    Policy -> Setting -> iOSOpenIn

    Change the value from true to false for applicable storages.
