Configuring access to websites on iOS MDM devices

Configure Web Protection settings to control access to websites for iOS MDM device users. Web Protection controls a user's access to websites based on lists of allowed and blocked websites. Web Protection also lets you add website bookmarks on the bookmark panel in Safari.

By default, access to websites is not restricted.

Web Protection settings can be configured for supervised devices only.

To configure access to websites on the user's iOS MDM device:

1. In the console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group to which the iOS MDM devices belong.
2. In the workspace of the group, select the Policies tab.
3. Open the policy properties window by double-clicking.
4. In the policy Properties window, select the Web Protection section.
5. In the Web Protection settings section, select the Apply settings on device check box.
6. To block access to blocked websites and allow access to allowed websites:
   1. In the Web Filter Mode drop-down list, select the Limit adult content mode.
   2. In the Allowed websites section, create a list of allowed websites.

      The website address should begin with "http://" or "https://". Kaspersky Device Management for iOS allows access to all websites in the domain. For example, if you have added http://www.example.com to the list of allowed websites, access is allowed to http://pictures.example.com and http://example.com/movies. If the list of allowed websites is empty, the application allows access to all websites other than those included in the list of blocked websites.

   3. In the Forbidden websites section, create a list of blocked websites.

      The website address should begin with "http://" or "https://". Kaspersky Device Management for iOS blocks access to all websites in the domain.

7. To block access to all websites other than allowed websites on the tab list:
   1. In the Web Filter Mode drop-down list, select the Allow bookmarked websites only mode.
   2. In the Bookmarks section, create a list of bookmarks of allowed websites.

      The website address should begin with "http://" or "https://". Kaspersky Device Management for iOS allows access to all websites in the domain. If the bookmark list is empty, the application allows access to all websites. Kaspersky Device Management for iOS adds websites from the list of bookmarks on the bookmarks tab in Safari in the user's mobile device.

8. Click the Apply button to save the changes you have made.

As a result, once the policy is applied, Web Protection will be configured on the user's mobile device according to the mode selected and lists created.
