Creating a Linux Enrollment Policy

About this task

Use this procedure to create a Linux enrollment policy.

Procedure

  1. From the SOTI MobiControl main menu, select Policies > Enrollment. The Enrollment Policies view displays.
  2. Select Add Enrollment Policy at the top-right of the panel. The Enrollment Policy window appears.
  3. Select the Linux platform.
  4. On the General view, enter a name and description for the policy. Make the name brief but descriptive, especially if you plan to create more than one enrollment policy. Select Next.
  5. On the Groups view, choose if user authentication is required for enrollment. No authentication means that the device enrolls without user verification. If user authentication is required, select one of the following options:
    Password Type a single password for use across all devices that enroll with this policy. Once the password is set, select a device group destination.
    Directory Select to add directory groups. Choose a directory service from the dropdown and use the Search Groups field to find a group. You can add a new directory service connection by selecting Manage Services. From the dropdown menu, choose Directory. See Identity Management for more information. Once the directory group is added, select a device group destination.
    Note: Only LDAP directory services are supported for Linux devices.
    Important: You can add more than one directory group to the enrollment policy. However, the authenticated device is assigned to the first directory group listed that the user belongs to. Use the up/down arrow buttons to arrange the list in an appropriate order.
  6. Select Next. The Settings view displays.
  7. Continue configuring your enrollment policy per the available settings then select Finish.
  8. Select OK to complete the process.

Results

The new enrollment policy is now created, and the Enrollment Policy Info page displays. This page lists policy details and device enrollment options:
  • Select Manage Emails to email the enrollment URL to a recipient.
  • Select Enrollment URL to view or copy the enrollment URL directly.
  • Select Linux Device Agent to download the Linux installer or INI file.
