Andorid Support

[plago]

One more thing... I already went through the effort of documenting the process of importing user certs and priv keys for our customer android devices... why can't the software simply use the cert and keys in the secure store of the android? Having to manually seperate the user cert and priv keys, convert them into DER format, and copy them to the device storage card is pointless and unnecessary when the android platform already provide a secure store for these credentials.

ok so i met with some juniper reps/engineers a few days ago and was informed ( and this made perfect sense to me) the issue is not so much with Pulse as it is with DROID not allowing it root access.  so as soon as its allowed we should see pulse work the way it should.  p.s. rooting your phone wont make a difference right now as the app is not written that way..

I am not aware of any limitations with specific Android devices.

He will need to download the application and test; if there are issues with access, please contact JTAC.

As mentioned earlier, though, please remember that there is no L3 VPN support on Android.

So it still do not support on Andorid platform?

how to use it?

[zanyterp]

Yes, that is correct, there is no L3 VPN allowed on Android (by Google; this feature is just not present).

The Pulse for Android client allows access to intranet-based bookmarks from within the client.

When adding your "vote" for this feature just click on the * to index the count.  This is a technical issue list for the actual developers of Android.  They have requested that we only post TECHNICAL comments to the issue tracker not general requests for the feature in the comments.

Please do vote and let them know we want this functionality but they are finding the non-technical comments annoying and not helpful.

If anyone from Juniper is watching this thread...

Has there been no discussion from Google on this topic? I cannot imagine that they would not have any interest in adding L3 VPN functionality, and if they did, certainly they would be talking to a big player like Juniper.

You would think so; but I don't know and doubt they have. The way the Android development group works is through seeing what people want. In order to do that, bugs/requests are filed and people vote on them to be added (see the link previously provided).
