Important KB Articles and Release Updates

  • RESOLVED: ESC-28927: iOS 14.7.1 Devices May Incorrectly Display OS Version as Windows 10 (10.0.20348) (85816)
  • With the release of the 14.7 iOS seed script we have become aware of an issue where IOS 14.7.1 devices may in some circumstances have their OS version identified as Windows 10 (10.0.20348). Any compliance policy targeted for iOS 14.7.1 may not function correctly.
  • All SaaS and On-Premise environments will potentially be affected
  • To confirm if a compliance policy is affected, view the device assignment for that compliance policy. The platform for the device will correctly report as Apple, however the OS version will report as Windows 10.0.20348.

  • Discovery.awmdm.com SSL certificate Renewal – 2021 (85798)
  • The current SSL certificate for https://discovery.awmdm.com expired on August 7, 2021. This affects all supported UEM versions.
  • Once the certificate expires, on-premises customers running UEM versions lower than v2105 that have ‘auto-discovery SSL pinning’ enabled will be unable to perform the following:
    • Register new email domains for auto-discovery
    • Sync SSL pinning certificates from Device Services to the Auto-discovery server
  • Workspace ONE UEM SaaS customers will not be impacted, as VMware’s SaaS operations team has updated the primary and backup certificates for all hosted environments. A list of all supported releases of Workspace ONE UEM and their End of General Support date can be found here: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2960922.
  • On-premises customers will have the option if auto-discovery SSL Pinning is enabled at the Global Organization group by navigating to Groups & Setting > All Settings > Admin > Cloud Services 
    1. If customers wish to keep auto-discovery SSL Pinning enabled then upload the new primary cert and new backup certificate by navigating to Groups & Settings > All Settings > Admin > Cloud Services at the Global Organization group.
    2. Alternatively, customers can opt to Disable auto-discovery SSL pinning.
