Configuring an Option to Force Users to Change their Device Lock PIN

Historically, users have always been provided with an option to lock their device, but in addition, admin can configure an option to force users to change their device lock PIN.

To force users to update their device lock PIN admin must:
1. Configure the configuration file parameter ‘forceChangePIN’.
System Config
Lock PIN: 123445
Device Lock Timeout: 600
Date Time Config: test

 

The same principle applies across all phone models, only the screen dimensions change.
The configuration option is received as part of the configuration profile settings assigned to the device.
Once timeout configured by admin lapses, firmware locks the device.
2. When the Teams app detects a PIN lock configuration where a force PIN configuration is toggled, a popup is displayed allowing the user to navigate to device lock settings to change the PIN.

3. If the user clicks CHANGE PIN, they can navigate to Device Settings to reset the PIN.
4. If the reset PIN configuration times out and the user has not changed their PIN, the device is locked by the Teams app and the user is restricted to emergency calls along with the set PIN notification.
