    Aerohive Client Management Cloud-Enabled Onboarding and Device Control Application
    Cloud-Enabled Device Onboarding and Management

    For Aerohive HiveManager Classic

     

    Overview:

    AEROHIVE NETWORKS CLIENT MANAGEMENT delivers a cloud-enabled, comprehensive solution to address the iEverything explosion by combining device configuration, management, and monitoring with policy-based network access and an employee self-service portal into a single product for companies desiring to support BYOD in conjunction with CID (company-issued devices). Client Management allows an administrator to clearly differentiate between issued devices and BYOD, giving them the additional layer of context necessary to create granular policies and controls for a mobile first enterprise. Client Management greatly reduces the burden for onboarding Corporate-Issued and BYO devices by auto-provisioning clients with secure profiles, which helps transform the network into a platform for mobility.

    Key Features & Benefits

    Client Auto-Provisioning

    Client Management can automatically create and install a unique client certificate as well as install a secure profile on the device for iOS, OS X, Android, and Chrome. This greatly reduces the burden for onboarding Corporate-Issued and BYO devices by assuring every device connected to the network is redirected to the enrollment page and is automatically provisioned with wired and wireless connection info, device certificates, and even advanced settings like VPN and LDAP configurations.

    Customizable Enrollment Portal

    Users will see a completely customized, self-service enrollment portal which can display their own company logo and details about enrolling their issued and BYO devices, helping to reduce Helpdesk costs by communicating terms of use and policies directly.

    Integrated Certificate Authority

    Aerohive’s certificate management system automates the entire certificate generation, distribution, validation and revocation process. Aerohive Client Management leverages the certificate authority to publish unique credentials that include certificate information as well as user and device data. This means the IT administrator doesn’t have to worry about implementing a certificate authority, and can instead focus on advancing their BYOD and CID initiatives.
