Restricting Access on Mobile Browsers Using Authentication Policies

Does anyone have a creative solution for restricting access to applications on mobile browsers (as opposed to native iOS/Android Apps)? My initial thinking was using an expression. And while I can use request.userAgent to specific specific browser User Agent strings, there are too many options for individual matches.

 

So I was going to use request.userAgent.contains, which is references in several places, but it appears to not be supported by basic authentication policies.

 

Anyone thoughts on a good approach?

    Hi @User16941767811476136814 (Customer)​ , Thank you for reaching out to the Okta Community! 

     

    Judging by the way you formulated the question, I assume you have reviewed currently available options, but for clarity in case anyone else in the Community is looking into this as well - unfortunately , there currently is no easy way to do this. 

    The Authentication policy configurations would allow for restricting the platform. For example: Android, iOS, Other mobile.  

     

    That being said, we’ll leave this question open in case someone else has additional insight into the matter. 

     

     

    Regards.
