About this task
MaaS360® is automatically configured to support Android,
Windows Phone, and BlackBerry devices. If these devices are
the only devices that you are using, click Start without iOS to go to the
next tab of the Quick Start wizard and add devices.
If you are using iOS devices, Apple requires that you use an Apple Push Notification Service
(APNs) certificate.
To download the APNs certificate:
-
Click Setup iOS Now.
Use either the Safari, Chrome, or Firefox web browser to download the certificate.
-
Type your corporate Apple ID and click Next.
You must use the same Apple ID every year when you
renew your APNs
certificate. If you do not have an Apple ID, mouse over
Create ID and
click
Apple Website to access a page where you create a corporate Apple ID.
Note: Make sure that you create an Apple ID that belongs to your company, and not to an
individual at your company. The Apple ID that you use to set up your devices is the same Apple ID
that you use to renew your certificate each year. If you use a personal Apple ID and that person
leaves your company, you must create a new Apple ID at renewal time and then enroll all of your iOS
devices again that use that Apple ID.
The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) is automatically generated. This process might take up
to 5 minutes. Stay on this page until the certificate is generated. The CSR is sent by email to the
specified account or click Download to upload the CSR and save the file to
your system.
