Kaspersky Secure Mobility Management

Adding a contacts account

These settings apply to supervised devices and devices operating in basic control mode.

To let the iOS MDM device user synchronize data with the CardDAV server, add a CardDAV account. Synchronization with the CardDAV server lets the user access the contact details from any device.

To add a CardDAV account of an iOS MDM device user:

  1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices)Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
  2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
  3. Select iOS and go to the Device configuration section.
  4. On the Contacts card, click Settings.

    The Contacts window opens.

  5. Enable the settings using the Contacts toggle switch.
  6. Click Add.

    The Add CardDAV account window opens.

  7. In the Server section, in the Description field, enter a description of the user's CardDAV account.
  8. In the Server address and Server port fields, enter the host name or the IP address of the CardDAV server and the number of the CardDAV server port.
  9. In the Contact URL field, specify the URL of the CardDAV account of the iOS MDM device user on the CardDAV server (for example: http://example.com/carddav/users/mycompany/user).

    The URL must begin with http:// or https://.

  10. In the Authentication section, in the Account name field, enter the account name for authorization on the CardDAV server.
  11. In the Password field, enter the CardDAV account password for authorization on the CardDAV server.
  12. If you want to use the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) data transport protocol to secure the transmission of data between the CardDAV server and the mobile device, select the Use SSL connection check box.
  13. If necessary, in the Per App VPN section, configure Per App VPN.
  14. Click Add.

    The new CardDAV account appears in the list.

    You can modify or delete CardDAV accounts in the list using the Edit and Delete buttons at the top of the list.

  15. Click OK.
  16. Click Save to save the changes you have made.

Mobile device settings are changed after the next device synchronization with the iOS MDM Server.

As a result, once the policy is applied, CardDAV accounts from the compiled list will be added on the user's mobile device.

If you experience problems when adding or updating accounts, check whether the settings you configured are correct.
