Abstract
A managed container may have a managed cache storing content managed by or through an application gateway server computer. The managed container may receive a request for content from an application running in a secure shell provided by the managed container on a client device. The managed container may determine whether the client device is within a specified geographical location. If not, the managed container may deny or restrict the application access to the requested content. The access denial or restriction may continue until a connection is made to the application gateway server computer or until the client device has returned to within the specified geographical location. If the client device is within the specified geographical location, the managed container may provide or restore access to requested content. Embodiments of the managed container can therefore perform geofencing by disabling or limiting access to content based on predetermined secure/insecure designations.
