Configuration Tool

Samsung KNOX Tab

Note: The settings on this tab are only available when the KioWare Samsung Support APK (Android Application Package) is installed.

When the KioWare Samsung Support app (KioWareSamsungSupport.apk file) is not installed, the tab only shows a warning with details on how to download the app (see Quick Start Guide, Warnings, Samsung KNOX Detected).  Once the app is installed, the Samsung KNOX tab shows instead of the warning.

• Enable Device Administrator - If checked, Device Administrator mode will be turned on for only the KioWare Samsung Support APK (see Security Tab, General Options, Enable Device Administrator for more information on Device Administrator mode).  When checking this checkbox a popup window appears, telling you that this setting must be disabled before you can uninstall KioWare Samsung Support.  Select “OK”, and a second popup window describes the operations that Device Administrator mode allows (see Quick Start Guide, Device Admin Prevents Uninstall (Samsung Support) for more details about these two popups):
  
  • Erase all data
  • Change the screen-unlock password
  • Set password rules
  • Monitor screen-unlock attempts
  • Lock the screen

  Select “Activate” at the bottom right, and the main tab re-appears with the checkbox checked.  Note: This setting must be turned on for any other Samsung KNOX settings (see below) to work.
• Enable Samsung KNOX - If the slider is red, settings for the Samsung KNOX security platform will become available and can be turned on by checking the checkboxes.  If the slider is gray, they will be disabled.

  2. Permission popups will never show in the Main App.  Missing permissions are logged after the settings are loaded (when required by the remote settings file).
