Configure and manage certificates for iOS devices



As an administrator, you can create and upload an Apple push notification certificate that allows you to use the inSync Data Loss Prevention features on all enterprise mobile devices.

The DLP feature helps prevent data loss from user devices. If a device is lost or stolen, you can decommission the device and remotely wipe out data from the backup folders and inSync Share folder of the device. If you want to use DLP with iOS devices, you must upload the following certificates on inSync Master:

  • Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate: This certificate ensures secure transactions between Web servers and browsers.
  • Apple Push Notification (APN) certificate: This certificate ensures that iOS devices trust the DLP instructions from inSync Master.

For detailed instructions on how to generate and install an Apple Push Notification Certificate, see KB Article.

Note: DLP is not supported on Windows Phone 8 platform devices.
