    摘要: Disclosed are various examples for enrolling a device in a management service. An enrollment wizard can include a series of user interfaces to facilitate enrollment of a device in the management service. Enrollment data can be obtained from the user and sent to the management service for authentication of the user and device. A user interface object can be instantiated to access a webpage within a user interface of the enrollment wizard for downloading a configuration profile provided by the management service. A user can be redirected to a settings application to install the configuration profile.

    摘要: Examples described herein include systems and methods for dynamically displaying features in a GUI of a portal application that facilitates access to other applications. An example method can include receiving a push notification, from a notification service, at a user device upon which the portal application is installed. The push notification can indicate that a new feature is available for the portal application executing on the user device. The example method can include requesting, from the management server, at least one command for modifying the GUI of the portal application. The management server can provide the command or provide instructions for the user device to retrieve the command. The method can include receiving at least one command. The method can also include modifying the GUI of the portal application based on the received command and displaying the modified GUI.

    摘要: Examples described herein include systems and methods for dynamically determining a server for enrollment with a management system. An example method can include receiving user input at an application executing on a user device, such as a portal application that provides access to and authentication for other applications through a catalogue of application icons. If the user input includes a first URL but that URL produces an error when used in conjunction with extensions associated with a management server, the application can automatically use extensions associated with an application-support server. The application can then retrieve a second URL from the application-support server and use it for performing enrollment steps at the management server. The enrollment steps can include authenticating the user at an identity service and determining the user's group ID for enrollment, for example.
