The Passwordstate native Mobile Client apps for Android and iOS were introduced in V9 Build 9000. These replaced the old Mobile Client support providing remote access to managed credentials while away from your normal place of work (desk).
The native apps are designed to work with the Passwordstate App Server, which brokers the connectivity between the client device and your Passwordstate instance. It allows for storing password records that a user is authorized to access, locally on the smartphone, within an encrypted cache. Users have the ability to use the biometric capability of the smartphone when accessing the data within the encrypted cache. All authentication and access of credentials is audited and synced back automatically with Passwordstate on next connection.
But how do you know when your users are using the offline copy of their passwords. How do you ensure that they are using them when and where required?
We Have a Report for That!
Passwordstate has over 100 different Audit events, including those relating to usage of the Mobile Apps. As stated above all access to stored credentials within the encrypted cache, and all synchronizations of credentials between your Passwordstate instance and a Mobile Client, are audited. These audit records are uploaded automatically each time the Mobile App successfully synchronizes with the App Server.
This ensures you can report on the activity of your users that have been setup for Mobile Client usage. To be able to do this Navigate to Administration->Reporting
And select the Activity Report called Mobile Client Activity,
You can now filter the report based on User Account, Site Location and Duration in terms of the reporting period you select from the drop-down list,
and once you’ve clicked Run Report button the audit records matching the selected filters will be shown within the display grid.
You can now export the results to Excel for further manipulation as required,
Make the report a Scheduled Report
Don’t forget you can setup the Mobile Client Activity report as a scheduled report and have it emailed through on a regular basis. Simply navigate to Reports->Scheduled Reports and add a report like in the image below.
