KB Highlights & Announcements Week 29-24:

Intelligent Hub on Android wrongly applies custom SDK Profiles configured for third-party managed applications. (6000063)

  • We have discovered an issue where Intelligent Hub on Android wrongly applies the custom SDK profiles configured for third-party applications that are embedded with the Workspace ONE SDK. This causes SDK custom settings targeted for intelligent Hub to be overwritten and no longer applied on the device. The SDK custom setting for Workspace ONE Mobile Threat Defense (MTD) will get overwritten in such a scenario for example and will cause MTD to get deactivated on the devices. 

Integration between Workspace ONE UEM and Access for v2210 and earlier will fail due to Access API Login Endpoint being deprecated (6000011)

  • The Workspace ONE Access login API endpoint which was erstwhile used to enable the Access-UEM integration has been deprecated. An alternate authentication method will now be in place where UEM will redirect to a different endpoint to perform the full authentication as configured for the tenant. Existing integrations will not be affected. However customers on v2210 or lower will not be able to integrate Access and UEM due to this deprecation.

Upcoming Changes to Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android (2024) (97418)

  • Note: The date for deprecated APIs going offline has been extended from June 20th, 2024 to September 20th, 2024.

On June 20th, 2023, Google announced the deprecation of several APIs used by applications to integrate with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), the default push notification service used by Workspace ONE UEM to communicate with Intelligent Hub on Android. Google will begin taking the deprecated APIs offline later this year. By September 20th, 2024, organizations may need to update Workspace ONE UEM are required to continue using FCM for real-time device management.

Workspace ONE Access OAuth2 Client Credentials Grant Flow Change (6000064)

  • This article briefs a change in OAuth2 client credentials grant flow change
  • Current Behavior :

Workspace one Access allows creation of OAuth2client with client_credentials and refresh_token grant together. When requesting access token using client_credentials grant, Workspace ONE Access issues a refresh token also along with the access token. When access token is expired, the issued refresh token can be used along with refresh_token grant to obtain a new access token.

  • New Behavior :

For OAuth2 grant with client credentials grant, since client credentials is already present, there is no need to use refresh token to obtain new access tokens. Going forward Workspace ONE Access will not issue refresh token if access token is obtained using client credentials grant. When the access token expires new access token has to be obtained using client credentials grant.

HW-180740: Login and app launch may fail due out of memory error (92340)

  • This article provides guidance on troubleshooting and resolving the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace errors observed in application nodes. These errors can lead to communication issues between connector and appliance nodes, resulting in timeout and circuit-breaker errors. Restarting the affected appliance node clears the Metaspace memory, resolving the issue temporarily.
