Password protection
After a specified period of inactivity, users are prompted to reenter their device password and there may be a limit on the number of times they can try to enter a password. When the limit is reached, the mobile device is reset, removing all data from the device. The user must then take the appropriate actions to restore the data on the device.
You can store IBM® Cognos® credentials for users on their mobile devices so that they need to enter their credentials only the first time they access Cognos Mobile. After that, they are still asked for their credentials each time they log on, but Cognos Mobile automatically enters their passwords for them. Only when the time limit is reached on the stored credentials, users need to reenter their credentials.
If a device PIN is configured on an iOS device, the IBM Cognos Mobile application encrypts the manually imported Cognos active reports that are stored on the device. This feature applies to active reports that are manually imported through email, iTunes, or a file server.
For information about how to enable or set password policies for a mobile device, see the documentation for the device.
