WSO2 EMM Agent configurations to enroll and manage devices

Table of Contents

...

  1. Configuring the monitoring frequency:

    • Configure the monitoring frequency via the EMM console. For more information, see General Platform Configurations.

      Info

      If you configure the monitoring frequency via the EMM console, it will overwrite the monitoring frequency configuration done by editing the cdm-config.xml file, as shown below.

    • Configure the DeviceMonitorFrequency parameter in the cdm-config.xmlfile, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/conf directory. Specify this value in milliseconds. The EMM server uses this parameter to determine how often the devices enrolled with EMM need to be monitored. By default, this value has been configured to 60000ms (1min).

      Example:

      Code Block
      <DeviceMonitorFrequency>60000</DeviceMonitorFrequency>
  2. Anchor
    carbon.local.ip
    carbon.local.ip
    Configure the following fields that are under the <APIKeyValidator> tag in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml file.

    Info

    This step is only applicable in the production environment.

    • Configure the <serverURL> field by replacing ${carbon.local.ip} with the hostname or public IP of the production environment.

      Code Block
      <ServerURL>https://${carbon.local.ip}:${mgt.transport.https.port}${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL>

      Example:

      Code Block
      <ServerURL>https://45.67.89.100:${mgt.transport.https.port}${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL>
    • Configure the <RevokeAPIURL> field by replacing ${carbon.local.ip} with the hostname or public IP of the production environment.

      Code Block
      <RevokeAPIURL>https://${carbon.local.ip}:${https.nio.port}/revoke</RevokeAPIURL>

      Example:

      Code Block
      <RevokeAPIURL>https://45.67.89.100:${https.nio.port}/revoke</RevokeAPIURL>
  3. Anchor
    HTTPS
    HTTPS
    Enable HTTPS communication.  

    Info
    • This step is only required for the production environment. Once enabled, the HTTP requests will be redirected to use HTTPS automatically.
    • You will need to setup the BKS file in the android agent once HTTPS is enabled.
    1. To enable HTTPS redirection for a specific web application, uncomment the following code in the respective web application's web.xml.
      Example: Enable HTTPS redirection for the mdm-android-agent web app by navigating to the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/webapps/mdm-android-agent/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

      Code Block
       <security-constraint>
         <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>MDM-Admin</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
         </web-resource-collection>
         <user-data-constraint>
            <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
         </user-data-constraint>
      </security-constraint>
    2. To enable HTTPS redirection for the entire servlet container, configure the web.xml file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat folder, by including the following:

      Code Block
      <security-constraint>
         <web-resource-collection>
            <web-resource-name>MDM-Admin</web-resource-name>
            <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
         </web-resource-collection>
         <user-data-constraint>
            <transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
         </user-data-constraint>
      </security-constraint>

...

  1. Enable SSO in the following configuration files, under the ssoConfiguration section:

    • config.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/emm/config directory.

    • store.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/config directory.
    • publisher.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/config directory.

      Code Block
      "enabled" : true,
  2. Configure the Identity Provider (IdP) in the following configuration files, under the ssoConfiguration section:

    Tip

    For example, you can use the following steps to configure WSO2 Identity Server (IS) as an Identity Provider (IdP). For more information on configuring IS, see enabling SSO for WSO2 servers.

    • config.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/emm/config directory.

    • store.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/config directory.
    • publisher.json file, which is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/config directory.

    Note

    By default, an Identity Provider (IdP) has been bundled with the EMM binary pack. If you wish to use this default IdP in EMM, modify the host/ip to the Server IP. If you wish to use your own IdP, modify the host/ip to your own IdP's host in the following files:

  4. Enable authentication session persistence by uncommenting the following configuration in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/identity.xml file, under the the Server and JDBCPersistenceManager elements.

    Code Block

        <Enable>true</Enable>

        <Temporary>false</Temporary>
    </SessionDataPersist>
    Expand
    titleClick here for more information on the configurations.
    Configuration elementDescription

    Enable

    This enables the persistence of session data. Therefore, this must be configured to true if you wish to enable session persistence.

    RememberMePeriod

    This is the time period (in minutes) that the remember me option should be valid. After this time period, the users are logged out even if they enable the remember me option. The default value for this configuration element is 2 weeks.

    CleanUp

    This section of the configuration is related to the cleaning up of session data. The cleanup task runs on a daily basis (once a day) by default unless otherwise configured in the Period tag. When this cleanup task is executed, it removes session data that is older than 2 weeks, unless otherwise specified in the TimeOut tag. 

    Enable

    Selecting true here enables the cleanup task and ensures that it starts running.

    Period

    This is the time period (in minutes) that the cleanup task would run. The default value is 1 day.

    TimeOut

    This is the timeout value (in minutes) of the session data that is removed by the cleanup task. The default value is 2 weeks.

    Temporary

    Setting this to true enables persistence of temporary caches that are created within an authentication request.

Dashboard Server Configurations

The WSO2 EMM administrators can monitor devices by accessing the portal dashboard. Before accessing the dashboard you need to do the following configuration as the Dynamic Client Registration (DCR) approach is used to create an OAuth application. This is a one-time process that needs to be done despite configuring SSO in WSO2 EMM.

Configure the designer.json file that is in the <EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/configs directory by adding the following.

Code Block
  "authorization":{  
   "activeMethod":"oauth",
   "methods":{  
      "oauth":{  
         "attributes":{  
            "idPServer":"%https.ip%/oauth2/token",
            "dynamicClientProperties":{  
               "callbackUrl":"%https.ip%/portal",
               "clientName":"portal",
               "owner":"admin",
               "applicationType":"JaggeryApp",
               "grantType":"password refresh_token urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:saml2-bearer",
               "saasApp":false,
               "dynamicClientRegistrationEndPoint":"%https.ip%/dynamic-client-web/register/",
               "tokenScope":"Production"
            }
         }
      }
   }
}
