WSO2 EMM Agent configurations to enroll and manage devices
General server configurations
Follow the instructions below to configure general server configurations:
Configuring the monitoring frequency:
Configure the monitoring frequency via the EMM console. For more information, see General Server Configurations.
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.xml
file, 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:
<DeviceMonitorFrequency>60000</DeviceMonitorFrequency>
Configure the following fields that are under the
<APIKeyValidator>
tag in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/api-manager.xml
file.This step is only applicable in the production environment.
Configure the
<serverURL>
field by replacing${carbon.local.ip}
with the hostname or public IP of the production environment.<ServerURL>https://${carbon.local.ip}:${mgt.transport.https.port}${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL>
Example:
<ServerURL>https://45.67.89.100:${mgt.transport.https.port}${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL>
Configure the
<RevokeAPIURL>
field by replacing${carbon.local.ip}
with the hostname or public IP of the production environment.<RevokeAPIURL>https://${carbon.local.ip}:${https.nio.port}/revoke</RevokeAPIURL>
Example:
<RevokeAPIURL>https://45.67.89.100:${https.nio.port}/revoke</RevokeAPIURL>
Enable HTTPS communication.
- 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.
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.<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>
To enable HTTPS redirection for the entire servlet container, configure the
web.xm
l file, which is in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/tomcat
folder, by including the following:<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>
WSO2 EMM email configurations
Configure the email settings to send out registration confirmation emails to new users and invite existing users to register their device with WSO2 EMM.
In EMM, user registration confirmation emails are disabled by default, and the admin needs to provide the required configuration details to enable it.
Create an email account to send out emails to users that register with EMM (e.g., no-reply@foo.com).
Open the
<EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/axis2/axis2.xml
file, uncomment themailto
transportSender section, and configure the EMM email account.<transportSender name="mailto" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender"> <parameter name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.port">587</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.auth">true</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.user">synapse.demo.0</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.password">mailpassword</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.from">synapse.demo.0@gmail.com</parameter> </transportSender>
For
mail.smtp.from
,mail.smtp.user
, andmail.smtp.password
, use the email address, username, and password (respectively) from the mail account you set up.Example:
<transportSender name="mailto" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.mail.MailTransportSender"> <parameter name="mail.smtp.host">smtp.gmail.com</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.port">587</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.auth">true</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.user">foo</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.password">$foo1234</parameter> <parameter name="mail.smtp.from">no-reply@foo.com</parameter> </transportSender>
Configure the email sender thread pool.
Navigate to theemail-sender-config.xml
file, which is in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/etc
directory, and configure the following fields under<EmailSenderConfig>
.MinThreads
: Defines the minimum number of threads that needs to be available in the underlying thread pool when the email sender functionality is initialized.MaxThreads
: Defines the maximum number of threads that should serve email sending at any given time.KeepAliveDuration
: Defines the duration a connection should be kept alive. If the thread pool has initialized more connections than what was defined inMinThreads
, and they have been idle for more than theKeepAliveDuration
, those idle connections will be terminatedThreadQueueCapacity
: Defines the maximum concurrent email sending tasks that can be queued up.
Example:
<EmailSenderConfig> <MinThreads>8</MinThreads> <MaxThreads>100</MaxThreads> <KeepAliveDuration>20</KeepAliveDuration> <ThreadQueueCapacity>1000</ThreadQueueCapacity> </EmailSenderConfig>
Customize the email templates that are in the
<EMM_HOME>/repository/resources/email-templates
directory.The email templating functionality of WSO2 EMM is implemented on top of Apache Velocity, which is a free and open-source template engine.
- Open the email template that you wish to edit based on the requirement, such as the user-invitation.vm or user-registration.vm file.
- Edit the
<Subject>
and<Body>
to suite your requirement. - Restart WSO2 EMM.
If you need to access
HTTP
orHTTPS
base URLs of the server within your custom template configs, use the$base-url-http
and$base-url-https
variables, respectively.
WSO2 EMM Jaggery apps configurations to enroll and manage devices
In WSO2 EMM, only Android and iOS platforms uses the agent to enroll devices with the EMM. The Windows platform uses the native workplace application to enroll devices with WSO2 EMM. Therefore, the following configurations steps are required only if you are registering or enrolling Android or iOS devices.
Follow the steps given below:
Open the
config.json
file that is in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/
emm-web-agent/config
directory.Configure the
host
attribute that is undergeneralConfig
by providing the entire server address.You are required to configure this file as it is used to handle device enrollments.
- To download the EMM Android agent in a testing environment configure the host attribute using a HTTP URL, because the Android browser does not trust hosts with self signed certificates.
- To download the EMM Android agent in a production environment configure the host attribute using a HTTPS URL as the production server has a Certificate Authority (CA) installed with a valid SSL certificate. For more information on enabling HTTPS communication, see here.
Example:
"generalConfig" : { "host" : "http://10.10.10.182:9763", "companyName" : "WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager", "browserTitle" : "WSO2 EMM", "copyrightText" : "\u00A9 %date-year%, WSO2 Inc. (http://www.wso2.org) All Rights Reserved." }
- Open the
config.json
file that is in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/emm/config
directory. Configure the
host
attribute that is undergeneralConfig
by providing the entire server address.You are required to configure this file as it is used to manage the devices.
In a clustered environment, configure the host attribute by providing the entire server address (by changing only the protocol to HTTPS and the port to the HTTPS port) that was given for the host attribute in the emm-web-agent's
config.json
file. This is required because the EMM configurations refer to the emm-web-agent app as it is used to handle device enrollments.Example:
"generalConfig" : { "host" : "https://10.10.10.128:9443", "companyName" : "WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager", "browserTitle" : "WSO2 EMM", "copyrightText" : "\u00A9 %date-year%, WSO2 Inc. (http://www.wso2.org) All Rights Reserved." }
WSO2 App Manager configurations to mange applications in WSO2 EMM
Follow the steps given below to configure WSO2 App Manager for the EMM:
- Open the
carbon.xml
file that is in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/con
f directory. Uncomment the
HostName
attribute and provide the server IP.
Default:<!--HostName>www.wso2.org</HostName-->
An example after the configuration:
<HostName>10.100.7.35</HostName>
Uncomment the
MgtHostName
attribute and provide the server IP.
Default:<!--MgtHostName>mgt.wso2.org</MgtHostName-->
An example after the configuration:
<MgtHostName>10.100.7.35</MgtHostName>
- Comment the uncommented ServerURL and uncomment the ServerURL attribute that was commented by default.
Configure the uncommented ServerURL as follows:- Provide
localhost
as the value for{carbon.local.ip}.
- Provide the
https
port as the value for{carbon.management.port}
.
By default the port is 9443. - Remove ${carbon.context}.
By default:
<ServerURL>local:/${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL> <!-- <ServerURL>https://${carbon.local.ip}:${carbon.management.port}${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL> -->
An example after the configuration:
<!--ServerURL>local:/${carbon.context}/services/</ServerURL--> <ServerURL>https://localhost:9443/services/</ServerURL>
- Provide
- Restart the WSO2 EMM server.
Login to the WSO2 App Manager publisher to publish application or WSO2 App Manager store to install apps on mobile devices.
- Access the WSO2 App Manager publisher:
- http://localhost:9763/publisher
- https://localhost:9443/publisher
- Access WSO2 App Manager store
- http://localhost:9763/store/
- https://localhost:9443/store
- Access the WSO2 App Manager publisher:
SSO configurations
Follow the steps given below to configure single sign-on (SSO) for EMM:
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."enabled" : true,
Configure the Identity Provider (IdP) in the following configuration files, under the
ssoConfiguration
section: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.
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 thehost/ip
to your own IdP's host in the following files:Update the SSO related IDP configurations in the
sso-idp-config.xml
file, which is in the<EMM_HOME>/repository/conf/identity
directory, by updating all the entries that statelocalhost
