Enrollment of Mobile Device Management App Using Microsoft Intune

Step 1: Download the MDM Config File from the Infoblox Services Portal

An app-config file is required to update an app’s configuration in MDM. To download the file from the Infoblox Portal, do the following:

1. Log into the Infoblox Portal.  
2. Go to Configure > Security > Endpoints > Endpoint Groups.
3. Select Download MDM Configuration, and click iOS Config File or Android Config File, depending on the type of the device the file is to be used with.

To assign an endpoint to a specific endpoint group, click the three horizontal bars icon next to the name of the endpoint group and select Download MDM Configuration > Android or iOS Config File:

4. Save the downloaded config file to a directory where it can be located easily.

The MDM app config contains the following parameters: 

• joinToken: The value in the XML file.

• groupName: In the Infoblox Portal, the name of the group to which the endpoint will be moved. If the name is not present in the Infoblox Portal, it will be added to the All Infoblox Endpoints group.
• userId: The unique name that identifies a mobile device. The configured name is displayed in the Infoblox Portal, on the Manage > Endpoints page.
• allowServiceControl: By default, this value will be True. To disallow and hide service control, use the toggle switch to change this value to False. 
• extensionType (only for iOS): By default, this value is “vpn”.

In MDM, the app config can be added manually or by uploading the XML file.
