You can configure App Shielding to fit your application security needs. To do so, create a configuration for your project where you specify the configuration options for your shieldings to fit your application’s security needs. Configurations are platform-specific.
For testing purposes, the OneSpan Mobile Portal offers the Debug mode. When enabled, a number of security features are disabled to facilitate app testing during development. The Debug mode must be disabled for production apps!
To create a project configuration and shield your application
On the Details page of your project, in the Configuration section of the project details side bar, click Create configuration.
The OneSpan Mobile Portal opens the Create configuration page and displays the available configuration options for the platform and App Shielding version you selected for your project.
Enable the options you require for the shielding of your app.
For details about these options, see Configuration options for Android and Configuration options for iOS.
Click Create.
If you need to change the configuration options, you can always edit these by selecting the relevant project.
After you have created your configuration, you are taken back to the project’s Details page.
Add a file and proceed with the shielding of your app.
You can add your files to be shielded to your project by selecting a file and adding it via a dialog window, or simply via drag and drop.
As soon as you add the file, the shielding process is triggered automatically. For more information about shielding your application, see the sections on shielding in the Integration Guides for Android and iOS, respectively.
Once created, a configuration can be updated, duplicated, or deleted.
For production purposes, a configuration can be frozen (i.e. it can no longer be updated) by generating the configuration key which is an API key. If the configuration needs to be updated, the configuration key must be removed.
The configuration key is required to access the OneSpan Mobile Portal via REST Web services.
The configuration key is sensitive data that must be stored securely.
