Remote Debugging Chrome & SameSite cookies with Chrome DevTools

Image
When developing and delivering use-cases for Android or iOS devices, remotely debugging and inspecting how content is rendered in Google Chrome can be challenging. In the last few years, Chrome introduced a very useful feature that allows remote debugging. This functionality became infinitely useful when working on a use case that leverages cookies in a third-party context. In this blog post, we'll cover why cookies can be a headache (for all platforms), and how Chrome DevTools can be used to isolate issues on mobile devices. Requirements: Android OS with Developer Options enabled USB Debugging enabled USB-C Cable To connect Android device to macOS / Windows device Google Chrome (mobile) Google Chrome (macOS / Windows device) Context: A use case I am involved in hosts content internally on a private cloud using VMware Tanzu (formerly Pivotal Cloud Foundry). This private cloud has its own unique domain. So while the user might be authenticating and viewing content on www.myLearning

Clean up duplicate identities and users from Workspace ONE using REST API's and PowerShell

Workspace ONE gives us a centralized management plane for our users digital workspace. But with the proliferation of identity and access management solutions, it isn't uncommon to find users with multiple identities in our management plane. Especially when you lift and shift from one identity solution to the next.  I have a friend and colleague who is working with a beverage company who have a fairly tedious task ahead of them. They have to clean up duplicate identities, and do it quickly. I thought it would be great to share a solution I put together, and discuss how you can go about cleaning up identities in your environment as well. But before we get to the good stuff; some mood lifting visual stimuli... Entrance to Andaz Maui at Wailea Fun fact: Novell eDirectory still exists. Owned and maintained by NetIQ. Any readers still using eDirectory, send me a email so I can buy you a beer. A lot of organizations start with Workspace ONE by importing identitie

How to use Fiddler Everywhere to inspect Android network traffic to troubleshoot SAML authentication issues

Recently Telerik would release Fiddler Everywhere, a free web debugging proxy, for macOS. Previously, Fiddler was native to Windows, and macOS users would have to resort to using Charles, or using Fiddler in Wine on their macOS. While Charles is great, it also wasn't free. With Fiddler Everywhere being a free offering, it has quickly cemented itself as a must-have tool for developers.  Thanks Telerik, my Hawaii vacation / retirement fund just grew by $50. Today, we're going to cover how to use Fiddler Everywhere to capture network traffic from an Android device. This is useful if you need to review SAML responses when troubleshooting authentication. But before we proceed to the fun stuff....

Blogging has been a real treat. I especially enjoy seeing what posts  receive more pageviews, and what content really resonates with people.  The trend, is your friend; posts covering Zimperium and Workspace ONE integration receive anywhere from 570% to over 900% more views than the rest. With that, let's give the people what they want. This week Zimperium would announce support full support for Workspace ONE Intelligence. Workspace ONE Intelligence is an extension of the Workspace ONE UEM platform that provides new features and capabilities. Some of these capabilities include; Trust Network Automation Dashboards / Reports / Widgets Consumer Apps SDK With this latest release of zConsole from Zimperium, we can now stream threat events to Workspace ONE Intelligence.  Currently, Intelligence is able to use threat events from Zimperium to create dashboards/reports/widgets, and automated workflows.
