Product Overview

OS X Server

Mobile Device Management

Apple has built Mobile Device Management (MDM) into both OS X and iOS, giving

businesses and schools the ability to remotely manage devices in an enterprise

environment. With MDM, IT departments can wirelessly congure and update accounts,

settings, restrictions, and password and PIN code policies; monitor compliance with

corporate policies; remotely wipe or lock managed devices; distribute institution-

licensed apps and books; and more.

Management of OS X and iOS devices takes place via a connection to an MDM server

such as Prole Manager. The device communicates with the server to see if there are

tasks pending and responds with the appropriate actions. These tasks can include

updating policies, providing requested device or network information, or removing

settings and data.

Most management functions are completed behind the scenes with no user interaction

required. For example, if an IT department updates its VPN infrastructure, Prole Manager

can congure a Mac or iOS device with new account information over the air. The next

time VPN is used by an employee, the appropriate conguration is already in place, so

the employee doesn’t need to call the help desk or manually modify settings.

Web-Based Administration

Featuring a web-based console, Prole Manager enables administration from web

browsers such as Safari on Mac or iPad. Admins can dene prole settings for individual

users, groups, devices, and groups of devices. For group-based management, Prole

Manager easily integrates with directory services such as Open Directory, Active

Directory, and LDAP.

Self-Service Portal

To simplify prole deployment, Prole Manager includes a web portal where users can

download and install new conguration proles for their Mac or iOS device. Users can

access this portal in Safari to manage their passcode, set the boot password for their

Mac, or remotely lock and/or wipe devices that have been lost or stolen.
