Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling access to resources in a network environment. Methods may include installing a profile on the device and installing a certificate included in or otherwise associated with the profile on the device. A request to execute an application, and/or access a resource using a particular application, is received and determination is made as to whether the certificate is installed on the device based on an identification of the certificate by the application. If the certificate is installed on the device, then execution of the application and/or access to the resource is allowed. If the certificate is not installed on the device, then the request for execution and/or access is refused.
