Overview

This section describes how to use Microsoft Intune to manage mobile devices connected by VPN.

To manage VPN-connected mobile devices, these configurations are required in Microsoft Intune:

VPN-connected android device settings in Microsoft Intune

  1. Configure settings for VPN-connected Android endpoints according to the requirements detailed in Android enterprise device settings to configure VPN in Intune.

  2. Create an app configuration policy in Microsoft Intune for endpoints that use the Cisco Secure Client-AnyConnect app. Include the Device Identifier configuration key in the Configuration Settings for this policy.

VPN-connected iOS device settings in Microsoft Intune

For VPN-connected iOS devices, you can find the required VPN settings for Microsoft Intune in Add VPN settings on iOS and iPad OS devices in Microsoft Intune.

When you create a VPN profile for iOS or iPadOS devices, you must choose the Enable network access control (NAC) setting to allow Microsoft Intune to include a device ID for the endpoint.

After you complete these configurations, Cisco AnyConnect logs the device identifier in the format ID:Intune:DeviceID:<device id>. Cisco ISE APIs retrieve this device ID for the endpoint. The system uses the device ID instead of the endpoint’s MAC address to check compliance.
