Enforce EMM policies on Android devices, which will validate each device’s compliance after authentication, by asking your EMM Provider of choice to validate Device Trust.

Configure your EMM provider (such as Workspace ONE UEM) as the EMM provider of choice.

The steps to accomplish this are straightforward in the Google Admin console: The solution is to allow unknown Android devices to authenticate into Google Workspaces only for enrollment purposes, and in addition enable policy enforcement for access to the corporate apps. Android devices need to authenticate into Google Workspace to register and enroll, but at that moment they are still unknown and unapproved devices. This flow now enforces Device Compliance for iOS devices.Īs discussed at the start of this article, Android poses a chicken-and-egg problem with Google Workspace. It is important to note that there should not be a fallback authentication option such as Username/Password, as this would allow iOS devices to bypass the Device Trust validations. When the device tries to access any Google Workspace app, the authentication is federated to an Identity Provider – such as Workspace ONE Access – with policies to validate Device Trust by either (a) asking for a certificate during authentication, or (b) asking for device compliance. If the device becomes non-compliant, the certificate can be revoked, and the device marked as “non-compliant.” IOS devices that are registered and enrolled into device management – such as Workspace ONE UEM – can be validated for the device compliance requirements, marked as “compliant” and receive a corporate certificate to present during authentication. Procedure – Steps to deploy iOS Device Trustįor iOS devices, we will rely on Identity Management tool to validate device compliance prior to authenticating. For the below example we will be using Workspace ONE Access, but this solution should work with any Identity Provider that is able to separate authentication policies for mobile traffic (such as Okta Identity products).

The requirement is to federate authentication for Google Workspace to an Identity Provider. To receive the certificate, they need to enroll! It is an endless cycle.įor iOS devices, this is not a problem, as users can enroll their devices into the device management tool by authenticating directly with that tool or with an Identity Provider, without authenticating into Google Workspace.įor this conversation, we will focus on Mobile platforms only: Android and iOS devices. To authenticate, they need a certificate.

To put it another way : For Android devices to enroll, they need to authenticate into Google Workspace.

However, they are unable to prove they are a trusted device when prompted by Google Workspace for registration and enrollment. The issue becomes clear when we understand that Android devices need to authenticate into Google Workspace to enroll into any device management tool. We have already established that all devices need to first enroll into a device management tool to validate device posture. Google Workspace customers are presented with an implementation challenge when enabling Device Trust for Android devices.

These Zero Trust requirements imply that the device first needs to be registered or enrolled into a corporate device management tool which can scan the device and validate the requirements, prior to allowing access to secure resources.Įnforcing Device Trust also ensures that unsecure (or unknown) devices cannot access secure corporate resources through the Google Workspace apps, even though a user may have the necessary password and credentials.ĭevice Trust enables multiple factor authentication: something a user knows (credentials) and something a user has (secure device).īackground – The Android problem with Google Workspace These checks should include device trust requirements such as contain security and compliance policies, approved and trusted corporate certificates, and more. Goal: Only allow compliant devices to access Google Workspace apps.īefore any device is allowed access to company resources on Google Workspace apps, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, the device must pass Zero Trust checks.
