Avaya Vantage - Editing a Black or White List

Access to specific applications
You can determine the availability of certain applications from Google Play by completing a black
or white list section in an XML-based configuration file:
• White list: End users can install applications from the white list only. End users cannot install
any applications that are not in the white list. If the white list section is configured and the list
is empty, users cannot install applications from Google Play.
• Black list: End users cannot install applications that are mentioned in the black list. If the
black list is empty, users can install any third-party application from Google Play.
You can configure either a white list or a black list, but not both at a time.
The APPS_CONTROL_FILE parameter defines the location of the configuration file.
If the configuration file is not specified, users can install any application from Google Play.
Example: XML-based application control file with a white list
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<applicationControl
xmlns="http://xml.avaya.com"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xml.avaya.com applicationControl.xsd">
<allowedUserInstalledAppsUsingGooglePlayStore type="whitelist">
<app packagename="com.avaya.android.flare" />
<app packagename="com.avaya.android.vantage.basic" />
</allowedUserInstalledAppsUsingGooglePlayStore>
</applicationControl>
Editing a black or white list
Before you begin
If you do not already have one, create an XML-based configuration file for third-party application
control.
Procedure
1. Open the XML-based configuration file in a text editor.
2. To add or edit the black list, do the following:
a. (Optional) If the <allowedUserInstalledAppsUsingGooglePlayStore
type=“blacklist”> section is not already present in the configuration file, add the
section:
<allowedUserInstallAppsUsingGooglePlayStore type=“blacklist”>
</allowedUserInstallAppsUsingGooglePlayStore>
b. In the <allowedUserInstalledAppsUsingGooglePlayStore
type=“blacklist”> section, list the applications you want to include.
Use the following format to list the application:
<app packagename=“<Type the package name here>” />
