The Files Advanced mobile supports iOS 7's Managed App Configuration features. If the prerequisites listed below are met, you can add certain keys to your MDM configuration and they will affect the Files Advanced mobile.
Your device must be managed by a MDM server.
The Files Advanced application binary must be installed on the device by the MDM server.
The MDM server must support the ApplicationConfiguration setting and ManagedApplicationFeedback commands.
We support the use of the following keys:
enrollmentServer - The value of this key should be set to the DNS address of the Files Advanced Server that the user should enroll with.
enrollmentPIN – This key is optional. If your Files Advanced Server requires a PIN number for client enrollment, you can auto-complete the PIN number field in the Files Advanced enrollment form with this value. This PIN requirement is configured on the Settingspage of the Files Advancedweb console.
userName – This key is optional. The value of this key will be inserted into the Username field in the Files Advanced enrollment form. You can use a variable to autocomplete this value with the specific user’s username.
Creating a plist file
plist is a format for storing application data. It was originally defined by Apple, for use in iPhone devices and later spread to other applications. Since plists are actually XML files, you can use a simple text editor to create and edit them.
Creating the plist file
Open a text editor of your choice.
Enter the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
Enter your desired keys here
</dict>
</plist>
Example:
<dict>
<key>enrollmentServer</key>
<string>server.example.com</string>
<key>userName</key>
<string>username</string>
<key>enrollmentPIN</key>
<string>11Y9KL</string>
</dict>
Save the file as plist.xml.
Uploading the plist file to MobileIron
Open your MobileIron administration portal.
Navigate to Policies & Configurationss > Configurations > Add New > iOS and OSX > Managed App Configuration and upload the plist file.
In the Microsoft Intune administration console, choose Policy > Overview > Add Policy.
In the list of policies, expand iOS, choose Mobile App Configuration, and then choose Create Policy.
In the General section of the Create Policy page, supply a name and an optional description for the mobile app configuration policy.
In the Mobile App Configuration Policy section of the page, in the box, enter or paste an XML property list that contains the app configuration settings.
Click Validate to ensure that the XML that you entered is in a valid property list format.
