Knox Service Plugin 24.11 release notes

New

New policy for side key SOS calls

By default, pressing the side key five times on a Samsung device sends an SOS call.

With this release, you can configure to enable or disable this feature with the Allow SOS call with side key pressing policy, which allows you to prevent accidental key presses from sending an SOS call.

This policy is under Device-wide policies > Advanced Restriction policies.

New policy to configure DeX open app limit

Previously, DeX only allowed device users to have up to five apps open at once.

With this release of Knox Service Plugin, you can allow up to 15 apps to be open at once with the Configure the number of apps open limit on DeX policy. This feature provides your device users with more flexibility while multitasking using DeX.

This policy is under DeX customization profile.

Support to configure NTP server information

Corporate networks may block access to public servers, including public NTP servers, to comply with security policies.

With this release of Knox Service Plugin, you can configure devices to use a local NTP server for setting date and time. This feature allows your fleet of devices to synchronize date and time while connected to your internal corporate network.

For more information, see Date Time Change policies.

Deprecation
