Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring policy settings on client computing devices are provided. In some aspects, a method includes transmitting login credentials to one or more server machines. The method also includes receiving, on the client computing device, policy data and a public key from the one or more server machines in response to the login credentials. The method also includes authenticating the policy data based on the public key. The method also includes automatically installing policy settings based on the authenticated policy data on the client computing device. The policy settings identified by the policy data include four or more of: compliance settings, behavioral settings, software applications, permission to access one or more websites, restrictions on accessing one or more websites, read permission in a remote document storage unit, or write permission in a remote document storage unit.
