Apple Device Enrollment Program


The Apple Device Enrollment Program dialog box enables you to link a MobiControl deployment server to a virtual MDM server you have created to enroll devices in the Apple Device Enrollment Program. Once this trusted link has been established, devices that have been assigned to the virtual MDM server can be managed using MobiControl.

See Chapter 3 in the Apple Device Enrollment Program Guide for more information.

Use the following steps to link a MobiControl deployment server to a virtual MDM server:

  1. In the MobiControl Web Console, click on the All Platforms tab to open it.

  2. On the All Platforms tab, click on the Servers tab to open it.

  3. On the Servers tab, in the Global Settings list, click on the wrench icon next to Apple Device Enrollment Program to open the Apple Device Enrollment Program dialog box.

  4. In the Apple Device Enrollment Program dialog box, click the Download Public Key button to download a public key that is specific to the deployment server.

    You will be asked to upload this public key when you create the virtual MDM server on the https://deploy.apple.com site.

  5. When you are creating the virtual MDM server on https://deploy.apple.com, after you upload the MobiControl public key you will be able to download a Device Enrollment Program server token. Upload this server token to the same MobiControl deployment server from which you downloaded the public key in the previous step.

    The Device Enrollment Program server token issued by Apple is valid for one year. When the token is about to expire, you will receive a warning in the MobiControl Web Console saying that you must download a new token.

When you have completed the above steps, a trusted link is established between the MobiControl deployment server and the virtual MDM server. MobiControl is now authorized to manage the devices that have been assigned to the virtual MDM server.

Note:

MobiControl automatically updates the list of DEP devices that are assigned to a particular instances of MobiControl every 24 hours. If you need to update the list immediately, you can sync DEP devices in the Apple Device Enrollment Program dialog box. Click Sync DEP devices
