MobileIron

When a connection is established between FortiNAC and MobileIron Mobile Device Management (MDM) mobile devices connecting to the network can be registered in FortiNAC based on information stored in the MobileIron database. FortiNAC periodically polls MobileIron to update records for those devices that are registered in FortiNAC. This integration speeds up the registration process and eliminates the need to install both the FortiNAC agent and the MobileIron Agent on a mobile device.

This implementation list assumes that MobileIron is in place and managing mobile devices. The list below outlines the requirements for integrating MobileIron and FortiNAC.
