iOS Configurations

This section will guide you on how to configure WSO2 EMM with the iOS settings. It must be noted that this process requires many configurations, therefore you must follow all the steps carefully.

Prerequisites

You have to be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual or organization before starting the iOS server configurations.
Download and install OpenSSL. For more information, see how to download and install OpenSSL.
Download and install Xcode to build the iOS client application.

Before you begin, let's take a look at the diagram given below to get snapshot view of the steps you need to follow:

Follow the steps given below in the given order:

Step 1: Obtain the signed CSR file, P2 repo and agent source code.

Make a request to WSO2, who is a registered EMM vendor with Apple, and get your certificate signed
When following this approach, carry out the steps mentioned under Obtaining the Signed CSR file. After submitting the CSR file, a WSO2 Account Manager will contact you in due course to evaluate your request.
NOTE
- WSO2 only issues signed certificates to organizations who have successfully passed the evaluation process.
- The signed certificate is only valid for a year. Once the certificate expires, you can renew it and as explained below:
  If you have subscribed to WSO2 to receive production support, raise a ticket to renew your expired certificate and the WSO2 team will get back to you with the renewed certificate.Once the certificate is renewed, you need to add the newly generated certificate under iOS platform configurations in the WSO2 EMM console as explained in step 5 of the iOS platform configuration guide.
Get your own certificate signed by Apple
You can use this method, if you were not successful in the WSO2 CSR evaluation process or if you wish to get your certificate directly signed by Apple. When following this approach, initially, register your organization with the Apple Developer Enterprise Program. Thereafter, follow the steps mentioned in MDM Vendor CSR Signing Overview.

After getting your own certificate, fill the Contact Us form, select IoT as the area of interest, and request for the P2 repository, which you need to configure WSO2 EMM for iOS. If you want to customize the WSO2 iOS agent application, you can find the source code here.

Step 2: Generate the certificate from the Apple Developer Portal

For more information, see Generating Certificates from the Apple Developer Portal.

Step 3: iOS server configurations

For more information, see iOS Server Configurations.

Step 4: iOS client configurations
