M4060: Application Uses Shared User Certificates

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Application Manager

M4060 scans the mobile app to determine if it uses shared user certificates, which enable an application to access software and hardware certificates, such as certificates stored on a Smart card. This capability is typically used for financial or enterprise apps that require a Smart card for authentication.

AdminStudio examines the application’s metadata to determine if the feature is part of the application’s primary functionality, and whether it calls the feature’s APIs.
