Onboarding and Prerequisites

Configure Secret Server

Before you can use Secret Server Mobile, an administrator must enable webservices on Secret Server and set time limits for offline caching.

Enable Web Services with Time Limits in Secret Server

To allow communication via RestAPI between the mobile application and Secret Server, Webservices must be enabled in Secret Server. For maximum security, do not set session timeout to "Unlimited." See Enabling Web Services in the Secret Server documentation for more information.

Set Time Limits for Offline Caching in Secret Server

To use offline caching in the mobile application, an administrator must configure offline caching Time to Live (TTL) in Secret Server. Administrators can disable offline caching globally by setting the TTL to zero. For maximum security, restrict offline access to no more than a few days. See Setting Maximum Time for Offline Caching in the Secret Server documentation for more information.

In Secret Server 10.9 and newer, an administrator can send an email directly from the Secret Server UI to new Secret Server Mobile users, inviting them to connect to Secret Server and providing detailed instructions to help the user with initial setup and onboarding tasks. Secret Server administrators can check the mobile application onboarding progress in Event Pipelines. See Event Pipelines in the Secret Server documentation for more information.
