MDM Satellite Server-Specific Properties

Complete the following steps to configure Satellite-server specific properties:

Note: You can also modify these properties by logging on to the HPCA Satellite Console of the Satellite server that you have identified as an MDM server. Click Configuration tab, and then click iOS MDM Settings in the left-navigation pane.

General Settings
  1. Log on to the HPCA Core Console and click Configuration tab.
  2. Expand Mobile Management in the left-navigation pane and then click Vendor Configuration>iOS. The iOS settings page opens.
  3. Click MDM Configuration tab.
  4. Click the URL for the full-service Satellite server. The Configuration tab view opens.
  5. Click iOS MDM Settings and then click General Settings.
  6. Enter the details for the following fields and click Save:
    FieldDescription
    Socks Proxy: These settings are required only if your enterprise has blocked the ports required to connect to APNS. You can then route the access to APNS using a SOCKS proxy.
    Socks Proxy EnableSelect if the Satellite server connects to the APNS through a SOCKS proxy server. To send notification messages to mobile devices, Satellite servers require access to the APNS.
    Socks Proxy HostEnter the hostname of the SOCKS proxy server.
    Socks Proxy PortEnter the port number of the SOCKS proxy server.
    Key Store: These settings are required to modify the certificate settings that are required to connect the iOS operating system-based devices with APNS.
    Certificate File Path

    Specify the path for the root certificate of the certification authority that you used to enable SSL on the Satellite server. Make sure that the certificate is not a self-signed certificate.

    For example, specify the path in the following format:

    C://Certificates//certificate.crt

    You must store the certificate locally on the Satellite server.

    MDM Certificate Path

    Specify the path to the APNS certificate. Make sure that you provide the certificate in .p12 format.

    For example, specify the path in the following format:

    C://Certificates//certificate.p12

    For more information on how to convert a certificate in .pem format to .p12 format, see Pre Configuration Tasks.

    You must store the certificate locally on the Satellite server.

    MDM Certificate PasswordSpecify the password that you provided while converting the certificate in.pem certificate to a certificate in.p12 format.

Advanced Settings

The MDM server component on the full-service Satellite server manages the iOS mobile devices. This component includes the following sub-modules that aid in managing and processing the jobs for a mobile device:

You can modify the properties for each sub-module by configuring the Advanced Settings of the MDM server.

To modify the Advanced Settings, complete the following steps:

  1. Log on to the HPCA Core Console and click Configuration tab.
  2. Expand Mobile Management in the left-navigation pane and then click Vendor Configuration>iOS. The iOS settings page opens.
  3. Click MDM Configuration tab.
  4. Click the URL for the full-service Satellite MDM server. The Configuration tab view opens.
  5. Click iOS MDM Settings and then click Advanced Settings.
  6. Enter the details for the following fields and click Save:

    FieldDescription
    Server FQDNThe fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Satellite server.
    Server PortThe port that the Satellite server uses for communications. If you select HTTPS in the Server Method list, you must specify the SSL port that you use for HTTPS communications. The default SSL port is 443.
    Server Method

    Select the HTTP/HTTPS protocol for Satellite server communications. If you enable HTTPS, the communication between Satellite Server and the built-in iOS MDM agent on the device is SSL-based.

    The communications between the Satellite server and the HPCA agent are HTTP even if you select the HTTPS method.

    The communications between the Satellite server and APNS are always SSL-based.

    Number of Maximum Concurrent ConnectionsSpecify the maximum number of device connections that the Staging Manager processes at any instance.
    Notifier Interval in MinutesSpecify the time (in minutes) that Notifier module must wait before sending requests to the APNS. The Notifier waits only if it is processing maximum number of permissible requests.
    Number of Notifier WorkersSpecify the number of workers that can send notification request to the APNS. The workers share load based on the current number of device connections.
    Number of Command Processor WorkersSpecify the number of workers for performing post-processing tasks.
    Staging Manager Sleep Period in MinutesSpecify the time (in minutes) Staging Manager must sleep before polling the Persistent Store.
    Staging Maximum Inactivity Time

    Specify the maximum time (in minutes) a job can stay in the Staging Manager without any response from the device.

    After the maximum inactivity time lapses, the job is moved out of the Staging Manager and added to the Persistent Store, with a status flag set to true.

    Persistent Store Polling Interval in MinutesSpecify the time (in minutes) after which the Staging Manager polls the Persistent Store for jobs.
    Maximum Number of Concurrent Jobs to be runSpecify the number of parallel threads that can add jobs to the Staging Manager.
    Maximum Number of Record to be Processed from the Persistent Store per PollingSpecify the maximum number of jobs that the Staging Manager must select for processing from the Persistent Store per poll.
