Abstract

In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to cause a processor (e.g., on an enterprise server) to receive, from a communication device, a request for a client application, and in response to the request provision the installation file data associated with the client application to include an application token associated with the client application. The code is to cause the processor to send the installation file that includes the application token to the communication device such that the communication device uses the installation file to install the client application that authenticates to an application module using the application token extracted from the installation file.
