Configuring an iOS MDM Server installation package

Before you install iOS MDM Server, you need to configure the iOS MDM Server installation package properties.

The iOS MDM Server installation package is an archive that contains the files required for the installation of the iOS MDM Server depending on the package manager and architecture: kliosmdm-<architecture>-<version>-<package manager>_<language>.tar.gz

To configure an iOS MDM Server installation package:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center We Console, select Operations > Repositories > Installation packages.
2. In the window that opens, click the iOS MDM Server installation package you want to configure.

   The installation package properties window opens.

3. In the Settings tab, specify the iOS MDM Server properties.
   1. In the Connection settings group of settings, configure the following properties:

      It is recommended to use the default values.

      • iOS MDM external connection port. In this field, specify an external port for connecting mobile devices to the iOS MDM service.

        External port 5223 is used by mobile devices for communication with the APNs server. Make sure that port 5223 is open in the Firewall for connecting with the address range 17.0.0.0/8.

        Port 443 is used for connecting to iOS MDM Server by default. If port 443 is already in use by another service or application, it can be replaced with, for example, port 9443.

        Port 2197 is used by iOS MDM Server to send notifications to the APNs server. APNs servers run in load-balancing mode. Mobile devices do not always connect to the same IP addresses to receive notifications. The 17.0.0.0/8 address range is reserved for Apple, and it is therefore recommended to specify this entire range as an allowed range in Firewall settings.

      • Network Agent connection port. In this field, specify a port for connecting the iOS MDM service to Network Agent. The default port number is 9799.
      • iOS MDM local connection port. In this field, specify a local port for connecting Network Agent to the iOS MDM service. The default port number is 9899.
   2. In the iOS MDM Server address group of settings, specify the address of the workstation on which iOS MDM Server is to be installed. This address will be used for connecting managed mobile devices to the iOS MDM service. The workstation must be available for connection of iOS MDM devices.

      Choose one of the following options:

      • Use FQDN device name. The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the device will be used.
      • Use specified address. Specify the specific address of the device manually.

        Do not add the URL scheme and the port number in the address string. These values will be added automatically.

4. Click Save.

The iOS MDM Server installation package properties are configured. Now you can install iOS MDM Server with the specified settings.
