Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management

Selecting the download manager for Android devices

If you use a Web Server with a self-signed certificate instead of a certificate signed by a certification authority (CA), the standard Android download manager lets you download files, apps, and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android installation packages from your Web Server to devices only via HTTP.

To securely download files from a Web Server with a self-signed certificate to devices, you can use the built-in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android download manager that always downloads files via HTTPS.

The built-in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android download manager is enabled by default.

To change the download manager used by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
3. Select Android and go to the KES for Android settings section.
4. Do one of the following:
   • To use the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android download manager, turn on the Built-in download manager toggle switch.
   • To use the standard Android download manager, turn off the Built-in download manager toggle switch.

The download manager used on devices is configured.

Mobile device settings are changed after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.
