Because of our internal policy, we are not allowed to access Jira on mobile devices. How can I disable Jira mobile? Jira is hosted on our local server.

It's going to be quite difficult to disable this in Jira itself. The answer really lies in your network infrastructure.

For instance, make it so that Jira is not accessible from the outside internet (vpn only) and make it so only devices that are issued certificates are able to use VPN or connect to the corporate ethernet or corporate wifi.

Then don't issue certificates to mobile devices.

Thanks, Josh it makes perfect sense, much appreciated.

Wondering, how things are with the Jira mobile app?

Would mobile app be able to connect to our locally hosted Jira site, when the device is connected to the local corporate wifi?

If it does, is there any concern, that data might be stored locally on a mobile app/device?

I think this is a good question, it's something that I don't know exactly as the mobile app is still in development. 

 

I am just a customer but I would assume that some local caching of data does take place with the Jira server mobile app.
