Modified on Thu, 11 Jun at 8:06 AM

Overview

Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions can be used to pre-populate configuration settings in the Reserve mobile app, including the SAML context URL, authentication method, and backend instance URL. This simplifies deployment and improves the user onboarding experience by eliminating the need for manual configuration.

Application Identifier

Use the following bundle ID when configuring managed app settings:

<bundleId>com.agilquest.forum.mobile</bundleId> 

Pre-Populate the SAML Context URL

To automatically populate the SAML context URL in the Reserve mobile app, configure the identityProviderUrl setting in your MDM profile.

Example

<managedAppConfiguration>     <version>1</version>     <bundleId>com.agilquest.forum.mobile</bundleId>     <dict>         <string keyName="identityProviderUrl">             <defaultValue>                 <value>ClientInstanceName</value>             </defaultValue>         </string>     </dict> </managedAppConfiguration>
