Communication Systems Between Appthority and VMware Workspace ONE UEM

Appthority integrates with Workspace ONE UEM using scheduled communications and REST APIs over HTTPS to transfer data. Communications include an extra layer of security with the use of the App Scanning Integration Service.

App Scanning Integration Service

This integration uses the app scanning integration service for security. Systems do not communicate with the enterprise's demilitarized zone (DMZ) unless the communication is secured with a signing certificate. You upload signing certificates from both Workspace ONE UEM and Appthority during the initial setup.

Directions of Communication

Communication, in the form of REST APIs, travels between components over HTTPS. Workspace ONE UEM uses port 443 for communication.
