It's an interesting write up. But I don't think it's valid for one reason, company devices often require a company certificate to be fully trusted so that the company firewall can inspect all traffic transiting it.

So there must be a mechanism that allows corporately managed Android devices to adhere to corporate firewall policies.

Not just corporate, there's some countries that require you to install their certificate before you can use the internet.

Fully managed corporate devices can do this, there's a separate mechanism for that: https://developers.google.com/android/work/requirements/fully-managed-device

This only works when the corporation fully manages the device though - not for normal work profiles. It's only possible to enable that setup when the device OS is initially installed, and the resulting device is controlled 100% by an IT administrator. It's not something you can do for your own device, and even for small companies it's quite complicated and expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a work profile with a cert authority installed in a work profile managed by Intune. If I update to Android 14, I'll lose this?

[–] pimterry 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unless it's a fully managed device (different to a work profile - this has to be configured when the device first boots, it's for phones that are fully corporately owned & managed) then I think that has to be acting as a user-level CA certificate (trusted only by apps who opt in to trust it, which notably includes Chrome) not a system-level CA certificate (trusted by all apps by default). That will keep working just fine.

Ah okay. I trust Microsoft to figure it out then. Thanks!
