The following sections guide you through configuring iOS in WSO2 IoT Server and enrolling an iOS device. This tutorial follows the sample scenario of the Mob X organization of which Chris (the system administrator) is configuring iOS with WSO2 IoT Server for the organization and Alex (the device owner) is registering an iOS device. 

Before you begin

  1. WSO2 IoT Server supports devices on iOS 7, 8, 9, and 10.
  2. Install Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK) version 1.8.* and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. For more information on setting up JAVA_HOME on your OS, see Installing the Product.

  3. Download WSO2 IoT Server and unzip it.

    The downloaded WSO2 IoT Server file is large. Therefore, when unzipping it the OS might extract it halfway through and stop. To avoid this, we recommend that you unzip the file via the terminal.
    Example:

    unzip wso2iot-3.1.0.zip

  4. Start WSO2 IoT Server core profile, which corresponds to the WSO2 Connected Device Management Framework (WSO2 CDMF) profile.

    cd <IOTS_HOME>/bin
sh iot-server.sh

    The default port assigned for the core is 9443.

  5. In your browser, access the IoT Server Console by navigating to https://<IoT_HOST>:9443/devicemgt and log in using admin as the username and password.

  6. Fill in the following iOS form via the WSO2 site. WSO2 will send you an email with the following information.

    • The P2 repository with the iOS features, End User License Agreement (EULA) and the README.txt. 

    • The iOS agent source code. You can use this if you want to customize the iOS agent application in WSO2 IoT Server.

  7. Get your certificate signed by Apple. Register your organization with the  Apple Developer Enterprise Program . Thereafter, follow the steps mentioned in  MDM Vendor CSR Signing Overview . 

Configuring iOS support in WSO2 IoT Server

For the sake of simplicity in this tutorial, we are not setting up the WSO2 IoT Server iOS agent on your device. Therefore, we will not walk through the iOS client configurations. Note that the 'device ringing', 'sending messages', and 'getting the device location' operations require the WSO2 IoT Server iOS agent, so those operations will not be available in this scenario.

For more information on configuring WSO2 IoT Server for iOS, including iOS client configurations, see the iOS configurations guide.

  • Configuring WSO2 IoT Server to install iOS applications

     Click here for more information.

    The download URL for WSO2 IoT Server is configured for HTTP by default. Although you can install Android mobile applications using this default configuration, to install iOS applications, you need to configure it for HTTPS as it's required for the iOS MDM protocol behavior.

    Follow the steps given below to configure WSO2 IoT Server to install iOS mobile applications:

    1. Open the <IoT_HOME>/conf/app-manager.xml file.

    2. Add %https% as the value for the AppDownloadURLHost property.

      <Config name="AppDownloadURLHost">%https%</Config>

      To test WSO2 IoT Server App management features on Android devices, please use one of the following options:

      • Change the value of the AppDownloadURLHost property back to HTTP 
      • Continue using HTTPS to install applications on Android devices by Generating a BKS File for Android.

    Chris has now done the configurations needed to allow users to register and monitor their devices with WSO2 IoT Server. Chris then proceeds to configure iOS support in IoT Server.

  • Configuring the IP or hostname

     Click here for more information.

    Thie script automatically configures the IP and creates the required SSL certificates for the IP or hostname. This method is recommended because manually configuring the IP address includes many steps and if you miss out on a step you will run into errors.

    1. Navigate to the <IOTS_HOME>/scripts directory.

    2. Run the change-ip script.
      Example: Running the script on a Mac or Linux OS.

      Tip: The script will find and replace the IP address given in argument1 (localhost) with the IP address given as argument2 (10.10.10.14), in the necessary configuration files. 

      1. Change the current IP address of the IoT Server core, broker, and analytics profile.

      2. Enter the values for IoT Server core SSL certificate.

  • Installing the iOS features

     Click here for more information.

    If you are facing issues while configuring WSO2 IoT Server for iOS in your testing environment, contact us and we will help you out.

    After obtaining a signed CSR, the P2 repository, and the other files via email, Chris can install the specific features in the P2 repository that are required to enable iOS by following the instructions given below. 

    1. Download and extract the ios-feature-deployer that you received via email. 

    2. Copy the ios-feature-deployer folder to the <IOTS_HOME> directory.  

    3. Navigate inside the ios-feature-deployer folder on the terminal and execute the following command to install the iOS features to WSO2 IoT.  Agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) to complete the iOS configurations.

      cd ios-feature-deployer 
mvn clean install -f ios-feature-deployer.xml

      Tip by Chris

      Tip: To verify successful installation of the iOS features, do the following:

      Open the bundles.info file found in the <IOTS-HOME>/wso2/components/default/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator directory and verify if the following properties have changed from false to true.

      org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.api.utils,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.api.utils_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.apns,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.apns_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.core,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.core_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.payload,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.payload_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.plugin,3.0.5.SNAPSHOT,../plugins/org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.ios.plugin_3.0.5.SNAPSHOT.jar,4,true

      Once the ios-feature-deployer script has finished running, you can see the <IOTS_HOME>/ios-configurator directory that was created.

    4. Navigate inside the <IOTS_HOME>/ios-configurator directory and run the ios.sh script. 

      cd ios-configurator
sh ios.sh

    5. Enter the requested information when prompted. Be sure to provide the same information when configuring the iOS platform configurations.

      FieldUsage/Purpose
      CountryThe name of your country. Enter the two digit code for your country.
      StateThe state your organization is at.
      LocationThe city your organization is located at.

      Organization

      The name of your organization. For this scenario, we entered MobX.

      Organization UnitDefined the Team ID as the organization unit.

      Email

      The email is used to identify the existing users. For this scenario, we entered chris@mobx.com as the email.

      Commonname

      Fully qualified domain name of your server.


      This part of the script creates a key pair, generates a signature, and signs the key using the signature.

    6. Uncomment the APNSBasedPushNotificationProvider that is under the PushNotificationProviders configuration in the <IOTS_HOME>/conf/cdm-config.xml file.

      <PushNotificationProviders>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.extensions.push.notification.provider.mqtt.MQTTBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.extensions.push.notification.provider.xmpp.XMPPBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.extensions.push.notification.provider.gcm.GCMBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
    <Provider>org.wso2.carbon.device.mgt.mobile.impl.ios.apns.APNSBasedPushNotificationProvider</Provider>
</PushNotificationProviders>

    Make sure the <EnabledUpdateApi> parameter in the <IOTS_HOME>/conf/etc/webapp-publisher-config.xml file is set to false if you need to restart the server many times after configuring the IP.  This configuration is enabled when you run the ios.sh script.

    By enabling the update API property, the APIs and the respective web apps get updated when the server restarts. This takes some time. Therefore, if you need to restart the server many times after this configuration or when in a production environment, you need to revert back to the default setting.

  • Generating an MDM APNS certificate

     Click here for more information.

    Except for a few operations (ring, message and get location) that are performed by the WSO2 IoT Server agent, all the other device operations, and policies are applied on an iOS device via it's operating system. Therefore, for the WSO2 IoT Server server to communicate with the operating system of the device, you need to generate the MDM APNS certificate.

    The MDM APNS certificate will be referred to as the MDM certificate in the IoT Server Console.

    1. Go to  https://appleid.apple.com/account#!&page=create and get an Apple ID, if you do not have one already. 
    2. Go to the Apple Push Certificate Portal at https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/ and log in with your customer account details. You do not need an enterprise account for this. Your Apple ID is sufficient.
    3. Click Create Certificate and agree to the terms and conditions.

    4. Upload the encoded .plist file got after signing your certificate.

      Didn't get your certificate signed by Apple? Register your organization with the Apple Developer Enterprise Program and follow the steps mentioned in MDM Vendor CSR Signing Overview. 

    5. Download the generated MDM signing certificate, which is a certificate for third-party servers provided by Apple, and rename it to MDM_Certificate.

    6. Get the USERID (TOPIC ID) from the MDM signing certificate (MDM_Certificate.pem), as it will be used later in the configuration. 
      You can decode the MDM signing certificate to obtain the USERID by executing the following command:

      openssl x509 -in MDM_Certificate.pem -text -noout

      The TOPIC ID is assigned to the UID property.
      Example: UID=com.apple.mgmt.External.0dbe5637-8f16-4d9f-bac4-e18cac2f7d4e

    7. Remove the password/pass phrase from your private key file (e.g.,customerPrivateKey.pem).

      openssl rsa -in customerPrivateKey.pem -out customerKey.pem

    8. Merge the customer key file that was derived in the latter step with the MDM signing certificate to generate the MDM Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) Certificate. In this example, Chris merges the customerKey.pem file with the MDM_Certificate.pem file to generate the MDM_APNSCert.pem file.

      Tip: Before you merge the customerKey.pem file and the MDM_Certificate.pem file, make sure both files are in the same directory.

      cat MDM_Certificate.pem customerKey.pem > MDM_APNSCert.pem

    9. Open the APNS Certificate (MDM_APNSCert.pem) and add a line break between the content of the two files. For example, if your content looks as "-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----", add a line break after 5 dashes so that the content looks as follows:

      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

    10. Convert the MDM_APNSCert.pem fileto MDM_APNSCert.pfx file. You need a password for this, which you will need again when configuring the iOS platform configurations.

      openssl pkcs12 -export -out MDM_APNSCert.pfx -inkey customerPrivateKey.pem -in MDM_APNSCert.pem

  • Generating the APNS certificate

     Click here for more information.

    This section guides you on how to generate an APNS certificate.

    Why is this step required?

    You can register an iOS device with WSO2 IoT Server, with or without the WSO2 IoT Server's iOS agent. This certificate is required to carry out operations on the device that need to be triggered via the iOS agent, such as ringing the device, getting the device location, and sending notifications or messages to the device. Therefore, if you are not installing the iOS agent on your devices, you don't need this certificate.

    Further, in iOS, the server passes messages to the client via the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). When doing so in order to establish a secure connection between WSO2 IoT Server and the APNS server, a client SSL certificate needs to be generated and downloaded from Apple Inc. This APNS certificate is used to send an awake message to the iOS agent application.

    Prerequisites

    • You have to be enrolled in the  Apple Developer Program as an individual or organization before starting the iOS server configurations.
    • A valid distribution certificates that you obtained from Apple.

    Follow the steps given below:

    1. Clone the emm-agent-ios repository to a preferred location.

      git clone https://github.com/wso2/emm-agent-ios
    2. Open the emm-agent-ios from X-Code and follow the subsequent steps:
      1. Change the org.wso2.carbon.emm.ios.agent  Bundle Identifier so that it matches your organization details.
        Example: org.<ORGANIZATION_NAME>.emm.ios.agent

      2. Select the development team, provisioning profile and sign certificate from Xcode.

        If you are unsure of how to select the development team, or add the provisioning profile or sign the certificate via Xcode, see the blog post on How to export “in-house” developed iOS app as an enterprise application.

    3. Log in to the Apple Developer program and follow the subsequent steps:

      Before you follow the steps, confirm that your machine is connected to the Internet and that Xcode has a valid developer account.

      1. Navigate to Certificates, IDs & Profiles that is under Identifiers.
      2.  Click App IDs and see if the Bundle ID that you defined under Xcode is listed here.
    4. Click the Bundle ID, and click Edit.
    5. Creating an APNs SSL certificate:
      1. Select Push Notifications to enable the setting.

        Once push notification is enabled, you are able to generate the development and production certificates.
      2. To try out the create certificate use case, let's create a development SSL certificate.
        Please note that the development SSL certificate is created only as an example. You can create a production SSL certificate if you have registered with the Apple Developer Program as an Organization.

        Click Create Certificate that is under Development SSL Certificate.
    6. Creating a CSR file using the keychain access tool in the Mac OS:
      1. Launch the keychain access application.
      2. On the menu bar click KeyChain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from Certificate Authority.
      3. Define the email address, common name, select Saved to disk, and click Continue.
        Example:
    7. Go back to the Apple Developer Portal, upload the generated certificate, and click Continue.
    8. Exporting the certificate to the pfx format.
      1. Click Download to download the file.
      2. Double-click the downloaded file to open it with the Keychain access tool.
      3. Right-click the certificate and select export.
      4. Define the location where you wish to save the file and set a password for the exported file when prompted.
      5. Rename the p12 extensionof the file to pfx.

    What's Next?

    You need to configure the WSO2 IoT Server iOS client configurations. 

  • Configuring the iOS platform

     Click here for more information.

    Multiple tenants can use WSO2 IoT Server while maintaining tenant-based isolation. The iOS platform configurations page enables tenants to customize the iOS settings based on their own requirements.

    Chris proceeds to configure the iOS platform configurations by adding the generated MDM APNS certificate.

    1. Log in to the device management console at https://<IoT_HOST>:9443/devicemgt using admin as the username and password if you haven't previously logged in.

    2. Click > CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT > PLATFORM CONFIGURATIONS > iOS Configurations and fill in the form.

      Use the generated MDM-APNS certificate for both the MDM certificate and the generated APNS certificate for the APNS certificate.

      • MDM Certificate Password: Give the same password you gave when converting the MDM_APNS certificate from the pem tothe pfx format. 
      • MDM Certificate Topic ID: Give the topic ID of the certificate. If you are unsure of the topic ID, refer step 6 under generating the MDM APNS certificate.
      • APNS Certificate Password: Give the same password you gave when converting the APNS certificate to the pfx format. 

      Tip: To learn more about each platform setting, hover your mouse pointer over the help tip.

Make sure to configure the <EnabledUpdateApi> property in the <IOTS_HOME>/conf/etc/webapp-publisher-config.xml file back to  false  if you need to restart the server again after the configuring the IP. 

By enabling the update API property, the APIs and the respective web apps get updated when the server restarts. This takes some time. Therefore, if you need to restart the server many times after this configuration or when in a production environment, you need to revert back to the default setting.

Creating users and a sample policy

Follow the steps given below to create two users, Alex and Chris, and a configured passcode policy. This will make it easy for you to try out the IoT Server quick start guide.

Tip by Chris

Have you run the sample script previously when trying out the Android quick start guide? If yes, delete the two users alex and chris, the role iotMobileUser and the sample policies that were created for Android, iOS, and Windows. 

  1. Navigate to the mobile-qsg directory located in the <IOTS_HOME>/samples directory on the terminal window. 

  2. Run the mobile-qsg.sh script to configure the iOS server settings in WSO2 IoT Server. 

    cd <IoT_PRODUCT_HOME>/samples/mobile-qsg
sh mobile-qsg.sh

    When you add a new user to WSO2 IoT Server, the user receives an email with the username and password that needs to be used to log in to WSO2 IoT Server. In this quick start guide, we have not configured WSO2 IoT Server to send emails. Therefore you will get an error in the terminal where the core profile is running. If you don't want to see this error, you need to configure the email settings. For more information, see Configuring the Email Settings.

     Click here to see the error you get.
