Installing via Kaspersky Security Center

The iOS MDM profile is installed to the mobile devices of users whose user accounts have been added in Kaspersky Security Center. For more details about user accounts in Kaspersky Security Center, please refer to Kaspersky Security Center Help.

To install an iOS MDM profile:

1. In the console tree, select the Mobile Device Management → Mobile devices folder.
2. In the workspace of the Mobile devices folder, click the Add mobile device button.

   This starts the New Mobile Device Connection Wizard. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.

3. In the Operating system section, select iOS.
4. At the Selecting iOS MDM Server step of the wizard, select an iOS MDM Server from the list.
5. At the Select users step of the wizard, select one or several users for installation of the iOS MDM profile to their mobile devices.

   If the user is not in the list, you can add a new user account without exiting the Mobile Device Connection wizard.

6. At the Certificate source step of the wizard, select the source of the certificate for protection of data transfer between the mobile device and Kaspersky Security Center:
   • Issue certificate through Administration Server tools. In this case, the certificate will be created automatically.
   • Specify certificate file. In this case, your own certificate must be prepared ahead of time and then selected in the window of the wizard. This option cannot be used if you want to install the iOS MDM profile to several mobile devices. A separate certificate must be created for each user.
7. At the User notification method step of the wizard, select the method to be used to send the QR code for the iOS MDM profile installation:
   • Select Show QR code in wizard to scan the QR code with the camera of the mobile device on which you want to install the profile.
   • Select Send QR code to user to send the QR code with the corresponding link by email to the selected users in your organization. To install the iOS MDM profile, a user must then scan the QR code using the camera of the mobile device or open the link to the profile.

     If you select this method, specify the following parameters in the By email section:

     1. Select the User emails check box. In the drop-down list, select one of the following options:
        • All emails
        • Main email
        • Alternate email

        These email addresses must be specified in the user account settings in Kaspersky Security Center.

     2. If you want to send the QR code to an email address that is not specified in the user account settings in Kaspersky Security Center, select the Another email check box, and then specify the required email address.
     3. Click the Edit message button to configure the subject and the text of the notification message.

        If you selected the Prompt for password during certificate installation check box in the Issuance of mobile certificates section, add the %PASS% macro to the text of a notification message to send a password to the user. Otherwise, a warning appears and the notification message cannot be sent.

     Click the Next button to send the generated email message.

8. The Result step of the wizard displays a summary of the entered information. Scan the QR code if you selected the Show QR code in wizard option at the previous step of the wizard.
9. Finish the Mobile Device Connection wizard.

After installing the iOS MDM profile to users' mobile devices, you will be able to configure the app settings by using group policies. You will also be able to send commands to mobile devices for data protection in case devices are lost or stolen.

On mobile devices running iOS 12.1 or later, you must manually confirm installation of an iOS MDM profile on the mobile device. You must also grant permission for remote management of the device.
