Setting Up Your Device for Secure Secret Server Access
- An active Delinea Secret Server instance or Delinea Platform tenant configured for mobile access.
- A compatible mobile device running iOS 15 or Android 13 (minimum supported versions).
- The Delinea Secret Server Mobile app or Delinea Credential Manager Mobile app downloaded from your device's app store.
- Your user account must be set up within the Delinea platform with appropriate permissions to access secrets.
Accessing Your Delinea Secret Vault on Mobile
- Launch the Delinea Secret Server Mobile or Credential Manager Mobile app on your device.
- At the login screen, enter your Delinea Platform tenant name or Secret Server URL. For Secret Server, the app provides `.delinea.app` as a prompt, which disappears as you type your specific URL.
- Provide your username and password for your Delinea account.
- If Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled for your account, complete the required verification step using your chosen method (e.g., DUO Push, Pin Code, TOTP).
- Optionally, set up biometric unlock (Fingerprint or Face ID) for faster and secure access after initial login.
Key Capabilities for Managing Digital Credentials
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Supports various methods including DUO Push, DUO Phone call, Pin Code, and TOTP authenticators for enhanced login security.
- Biometric Authentication: Utilize fingerprint (Android and iOS) and facial recognition (iOS only) for quick and secure app unlock, replacing traditional passwords.
- Autofill Functionality: Automatically populates username and password fields on specified websites or other mobile applications, streamlining login processes.
- Online and Offline Caching: Securely store secrets on your device for access even without an internet connection, with robust encryption.
- Advanced Secret Workflows: Manage critical operations such as checking secrets in or out, submitting access requests, and handling approvals and denials directly from your mobile device.
- Comprehensive Secret Management: View, create, edit, and delete secrets and folders within your Delinea vault, with an interface similar to the desktop version.
- Search and Navigation: Easily find secrets using search functions or by browsing categories like All, Favorites, Recent, and Shared items.
Resolving Access Challenges for Your Mobile Secret Vault
⚠️ Cannot log in to the app
Cause: Incorrect credentials, MFA issues, or connectivity problems.
Solution: Double-check your username and password. If MFA is failing, ensure your authenticator app is synced or contact your administrator. Verify your mobile device has a stable internet connection. If the issue persists, try resetting your password via the main Delinea web portal.
⚠️ Biometric unlock not working
Cause: Biometrics not enabled, device settings changed, or app requires full re-authentication.
Solution: Ensure biometric authentication is enabled in both your device's settings and the Delinea app. If you've recently disabled biometrics on your device, you'll need to re-enable it. The app may require a full password login periodically (e.g., every 90 days, configurable by administrators) for security.
⚠️ Autofill feature is not populating credentials
Cause: Autofill service not enabled on device or app not registered for autofill.
Solution: Go to your mobile device's Settings, then Passwords (iOS) or equivalent on Android. Ensure Autofill Passwords is toggled on and that Credential Manager (or Secret Server Mobile) is selected as an allowed autofill provider. Remember that autofill currently supports username and password fields.
⚠️ Unable to access cached secrets offline
Cause: Secrets not previously cached or cache expired.
Solution: Ensure you accessed and viewed the desired secrets while online to allow them to be securely cached. Offline caching settings may be configurable by your administrator. Connect to the internet to refresh your cached secrets if necessary.
Fortifying Your Digital Assets with Mobile Security
- 🔒 Always use a strong, unique password for your Delinea account, combining letters, numbers, and special characters, and change it periodically.
