Mobile Devices - Behaviour of "Require sign-in after the device has been inactive for (minutes):"

Hi

I have a question about the behavior of "Require sign-in after the device has been inactive for (minutes):"

Require sign-in after the device has been inactive for (minutes):

When changing the time settings, the behavior is not the same on all devices. There is differences between the different versions of IOS and different versions of Android phones.

I have tested it on:

IPad with IOS 9.3.5

IPhone with IOS 10.2

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 6.x

Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 6.x

but the behavior is different(time length available to lock phone) on all devices, for how long you can select the default lock time to be.

On IPad IOS 9.3.5
If you set the "require sign-in af.... " to 6 or 8 min. on the exchange server
the effect on the IPad is that you can select 2 and 5

If you set the "require sign-in af.... " to 4 min. on the exchange server
the effect on the IPad is that it is set to 2 min, and is grayed out so you can't select anything.

On IPhone IOS 10.2

If you set the "require sign-in af.... " to 6 or 8 min. on the exchange server
the effect on the IPhone is that you can select 5, 4,3,2,1 min or 30 sec.

If you set the "require sign-in af.... " to 4 min. on the exchange server
the effect on the IPhone is that you can select 4,3,2,1 min or 30 sec.


Android 6.x

If you set the "require sign-in af.... " to 6 min. on the exchange server
the effect on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is that you can select 3,2,1 min or 30, 15, 5 sec.

the effect on the Samsung Galaxy S5 is that you can select 4,2,1 min or 30, 15, 5 sec.

If you set the "require sign-in af.... " to 4 min. on the exchange server
the effect on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is: Have not tested this yet

the effect on the Samsung Galaxy S5 is that you can select 2,1 min or 30, 15, 5 sec.

This seems like a rather strange behavior, but the good thing though is that it is never possible to set it higher than what we set in the "require sign-in af.... ".

Is the behavior supposed to be like this?
