What is Mobile Iron Sentry?

Mobile Iron Centry provides access control for email. Sentry connects to Microsoft ActiveSync-enabled email systems such as Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Notes, Google Gmail, and Microsoft Office 365. MobileIron Sentry  is an in-line gateway that manages, encrypts, and secures traffic between the mobile device and back-end enterprise systems. Like the VSP, it may be deployed as a physical hardware appliance or a virtual appliance using VMware ESX. Mobile Iron Sentry is included in the Mobile Iron Advanced Management package, though the hardware appliance is sold separately.

MobileIron’s Mobile@Work App connects your Android device to your company network so that you can easily and securely access email and other work resources. Mobile@Work App works in conjunction with a MobileIron Core server deployed by your company’s IT organization. .

In this post, I am using sentry-mobileiron-7.0.1-29.iso to do installation into Vmware Workstation 10.

The system is going down for reboot NOW!

After reboot, you should be able to access https://192.168.236.101:8443 GUI interface. You will have to reboot once after the configuration to enable GUI access.
