Adding iOS Devices

Use the iOS platform to enroll and manage your devices running iOS 7.0 or later, including iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches.

You must install the Apple Push Notification Service certificate on SOTI MobiControl before you can create an add devices rule. Once you have installed the certificate and created an add devices rule, you can create an application catalog rule containing the device agent, so that the device agent is pushed to the device immediately after it enrolls in SOTI MobiControl.

You can use LDAP or IdP (backed by LDAP) to enroll your devices. After you have configured your LDAP connection or your IdP connection, enroll devices in specific device groups based on their LDAP or IdP groups. You can also use the LDAP or IdP groups for device authentication.

Apple Device Enrollment Program

The Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) is a program built by Apple that enables you to easily and securely enroll iOS devices to SOTI MobiControl with minimal device user interaction. See Apple's support documentation for more information about the Apple DEP.

Refer to Apple DEP for instructions on how to set up the DEP in SOTI MobiControl. You can combine the DEP seamlessly with other SOTI MobiControl features for iOS, with the exception of IdP as the DEP does not support SAML.

Note: The DEP is part of the Apple Deployment Programs which also includes the Apple Volume Purchase Program.
