What is RMS Viewer?
RMS Viewer is a Mac application that allows users to view Microsoft Windows Rights Management protected documents on their Mac computers. The app requires connectivity to an RMS Rendering Server running in the corporate network and is designed to enable employees to consume protected documents on corporate-enabled mobile devices and computers running Max OSX.
1. The RMS Viewer App registers itself to the file types available for RMS and when rights management protection is detected, the mobile app sends the protected document to a RMS Rendering server hosted in the corporate network.
2. RMS Viewer enables Mac computers to consume Microsoft Windows Rights Management protected documents recieved by mail or any other application.
3. Windows Information Rights Management protects typical office documents using strong encryption and allows the use of these documents only on dedicated enrolled Desktop Computers.
4. But because of the nature of these documents it is critical for a corporation to enable its employees to consume the documents also on corporate enabled mobile devices and Computers running Max OSX.
5. The converted document will be received by the mobile app and displayed within an app viewer, which will not allow to print or forward the protected document.
6. IMPORTANT: This application requires connectivity to an RMS Rendering Server running in your corporate network.
7. The RMS Rendering Server will decrypt and convert the document if the user has permissions to view the document.
8. Documents can be stored on the device with strong encryption, in order to be viewed later even when offline.
9. Please read the requirements section below.
