Configuring access to websites on iOS MDM devices

These settings apply to supervised devices.

Configure Web Control settings to control access to websites for iOS MDM device users. Web Control manages users' access to websites based on lists of allowed and forbidden websites. Web Control also lets you add website bookmarks on the bookmark panel in Safari.

By default, access to websites is not restricted.

To configure settings for device users' access to websites:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
3. Select iOS and go to the Security controls section.
4. On the Web Control card, click Settings.

   The Web Control window opens.

5. Enable the settings using the Web Control toggle switch.
6. In the Operating mode drop-down list do one of the following:
   • If you want to create a list of allowed websites, select Allow only listed websites.
   • If you want to create a list of forbidden websites, select Allow all websites except listed ones.
7. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to add websites manually:
     1. Click Add:
     2. Add websites to which the app will allow or block access, depending on the value selected in the drop-down list.

        The website address should begin with http:// or https://. Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management allows or blocks access to all websites in the domain. For example, if you add http://www.example.com to the list of allowed websites, access is allowed http://pictures.example.com and http://example.com/movies.

        If you want to add an allowed website to bookmarks in Safari on mobile devices, select the Add to bookmarks on device check box below the website address.

     3. Click Add.
   • If you want to upload a TXT file with a list of websites, click Upload.

     The TXT file must be saved with the UTF-8 encoding and LF or CR+RF line breaks.

8. Click OK.
9. Click Save to save the changes you have made.

As a result, once the policy is applied, Web Control will be configured on the mobile devices.
