Enterprise mobile application developers spend a significant amount of time today building identity management capabilities into their mobile apps - just to enable authentication against existing identity infrastructure, such as Active Directory and LDAP. Slides are from the webinar where you'll learn the challenges associated with building identity into mobile apps today; how to use the new Symplified Mobile Developer SDK component for Xamarin to easily authenticate users into your mobile apps using Symplified or other identity providers (IdP); and have a chance to discuss, with a leading identity and mobile expert, and any single sign-on (SSO), authentication, or identity management challenges you may be facing today as you build your mobile apps. David Hathaway, Enterprise Customer Success Engineer at Xamarin, and Mike Gile, Mobile Strategy & Development at Symplified, for a technical overview of the new Symplified Mobile Developer SDK component in the Xamarin Component Store.

Mobile
Developer
SDK
• New
Symplified
Mobile
Developer
SDK
» Enterprise
mobile
app
developers
today
have
no
easy
way
to
quickly
build
authenTcaTon
into
their
apps
and
connect
it
with
exisTng
idenTty
infrastructure
• What
does
the
SDK
do?
» The
new
Mobile
Developer
SDK
allows
developers
to
quickly
and
easily
build,
test
and
deploy
authenTcaTon
and
SSO
for
their
naTve
mobile
apps
• Where
is
it
available?
» As
an
open

Why
Create
a
SSO
Component?
• No
off
the
shelf
solu7on
today
» Enterprise
app
developers
spend
much
of
their
Tme
building
authenTcaTon
into
apps
just
to
connect
to
idenTty
infrastructure,
such
as
AcTve
Directory,
LDAP
or
other
user
directories
• Need
for
a
common
iden7ty
plaCorm
» Without
a
common
idenTty
pladorm,
implementaTons
can
lead
to
security
vulnerabiliTes,
inconsistent
policy
enforcement,
bad
user
experience,
and
very
liele
visibility
into
user
behavior
• More
7me
for
building
true
app
func7onality
» Using
an
idenTty
pladorm
and
extending
it
to
naTve
mobile
apps
frees
up
developers
to
do
what
they
do
best
-­‐
create
funcTonality
• The
Symplified
Mobile
Developer
SDK
solves
these
challenges
» Allows
developers
to
quickly
and
easily
build,
test
and
deploy
authenTcaTon
and
single
sign-­‐on
(SSO)
for
their
naTve
mobile
apps
» Securely
connects
those
apps
to
exisTng
enterprise
user
stores,
such
as
AcTve
Directory,
LDAP
and
others
