Managed App Configuration

[rkscon]

Expected behaviour

Deploy Config via Apple MDM

Actual behaviour

Does not accept config. App without config

Steps to reproduce

Use Apple MDM Server, use provided specfile.xml (and insert config), deploy

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

Better handling of IOS app for Business Customers

In my oppinon, the Managed App Configuration should also be able to manage all features that can be configured in the app, e.g. the autoupload

iOS version

13.6.1

App version

3.0.6.8

Yes it seems someone had this as feature request, because of the provided specfile i thought this would be a avaliable feature.

Should the spec file work (https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/blob/master/MDM/AppConfig/specfile.xml)? For me it doesn't. The MDM pushes the spec to the app, but it doesn't change any Server URI. Maybe a Provider Spec would be good to have?

The next 4.4 will be available.

Thanks for adding this issue to the 4.5 milestone.

Refering to this https://developer.jamf.com/developer-guide/docs/managed-app-configuration I also tried a config file like this:

<plist>
<dict>
    <key>serverUrl</key>
    <string>https://nextcloud.example.de</string>
    <key>username</key>
    <string>%Username%</string>
    <key>password</key>
    <string>%Password%</string>
</dict>
</plist>

The Jamf-School MDM pushes the config to the device with this log message: Change Settings (Set config for it.twsweb.Nextcloud using managed config: jsp)

This shows that the App Bundle ID is correctly transferred in the Config, so it does not have to be configured by the Admin.

But in the iPad OS app the NCAppConfigView doesn't appear. Do I need to set some values for this: NCBrandOptions.shared.use_configuration?

Use V 4.5

Unfortunately it doesn't work with version 4.5 either. I work for a school authority and we manage 15000 IOS devices via our MDM. It would be great if we could pre-configure Nextcloud via our MDM. Thanks

Hi @Schunk1337 you can contact our sales department for this kind of request.

This is a very important feature for any company with perhaps more than 40 smartphones. We have 150 Android devices, and they all need to be managed without user interaction.

We support this via our branding: https://nextcloud.com/branding/

Tried the config above with my ten user Installation - doesn’t work eather. Can’t find the config file in the GitHub project?

@Schunk1337 Hello, do you have a solution to your problem in the meantime, because we have it too.

[DocSnyderLiMA]

@Schunk1337 or @heinrich-foto: have you managed to get the Jamf payload for "Server and Login credentials" to the iOS Nextcloud Client (higher than version 4.5) within the Community Version?

@tobiasKaminsky: or is this request not possible within the free plan of nextcloud?

Thanks for any reply.
