What's New in the
BlackBerry UEM Client
 for
Android
 12.45.0.158273

The previous release of the
UEM Client
 for
Android
 introduced a change for enterprise connectivity configured for container wide VPN (see "Enterprise connectivity enhancement" for version 12.45.0.158224). This release modifies the described behavior so that it occurs only if the user is assigned an Intercede user credential profile.
In the previous release, if you did not want the
UEM Client
 to route traffic through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
, or if you used the
UEM Client
 as the authentication delegate for
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, you had to add the package ID of the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list in the assigned enterprise connectivity profile. With the changes made in this release, you no longer need to add the package ID of the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list, but it is still recommended to add the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list if you do not want traffic to go through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
.
For more information, and to verify that VPN traffic is not blocked by firewall or proxy settings, see KB140552.

Android
 12.45.0.158224

Enterprise connectivity enhancement
: If you've enabled BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus for your organization's
Android
 devices, and you selected "Container wide VPN" in the assigned enterprise connectivity profile, by default the
BlackBerry UEM Client
 will route device-wide VPN traffic through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 to
UEM
. If you do not want the
UEM Client
 to route traffic through
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
, or if you use the
UEM Client
 as the authentication delegate for
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, add the package ID of the
UEM Client
 to the restricted apps list in the assigned enterprise connectivity profile.
This change does not impact enterprise connectivity profiles where
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
 is configured for "Per-app VPN", unless the package ID of the
UEM Client
 is added to the list of apps that are allowed to use enterprise connectivity.
Note that if your organization uses
BlackBerry Dynamics
 apps, it is recommended that you restrict the apps from using
BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus
. For more information, see Android: Enterprise connectivity profile settings.
