Review device configuration settings to confirm that Knox CC Mode is enabled.
This procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Samsung Android device.
On the MDM console, for the device, in the "Knox restrictions" group, verify that "enable CC mode" is selected.
On the Samsung Android device, to verify that CC Mode has not failed, do the following:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "About phone".
3. Tap "Software information".
4. Verify that the Security software version for MDF does not display "Disabled".
For Samsung Android devices prior to Galaxy S10, to verify that CC Mode is enabled, do the following:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "Biometric and security".
3. Tap "Secure startup".
4. Verify that "Do not require" is disabled.
For Galaxy S10 (or newer devices), to verify that CC Mode is enabled, do the following:
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "Biometric and security".
3. Verify that "Strong Protection" is enabled and cannot be disabled.
If on the MDM console "enable CC mode" is not selected, or on the Samsung Android device the software version for "MDF" displays "Disabled", or on a Galaxy S10 (or newer device) "Strong Protection" can be disabled, or on a device older than a Galaxy S10 "Do not require" is not disabled, this is a finding.
