Studio Host Profile Configuration Payload (iOS)

A Studio Host Profile Configuration payload sends a host profile to the Studio Client installed on a Smart device. The payload can be applied to folders that contain both Android and iOS devices, but the payload will only apply to iOS devices. You can send multiple payloads of this type to each device.

Deploying a Studio host profile configuration payload prevents users from manually creating host profiles from the device. After a device retrieves the configuration, the Add Profile button is disabled in Studio and any user-created host profiles on the device are removed. Users can still modify payload-deployed profiles or scan QR codes for new configurations. To prevent users from editing received host profiles, set an Advanced Password through the Studio Client Settings Payload (iOS).

A Studio host profile configuration payload has the following options:

Payload name (Host Profile Name)	The name of the host profile.
IP Address	The IP address or host name of the server to which the Smart device will connect.
Port	The TCP port number on which the host system is listening for emulation requests from Clients. By default, the port is set to 2400.
Use SSL Connection	Enables SSL communication between a device and host profile. If a certificate is not associated with the profile, then selecting this option does nothing.
SSL Certificate	Associates an SSL certificate with a host profile. The drop-down list identifies all Studio SSL Certificate payloads created in Avalanche. To create an SSL certificate, see Studio SSL Certificate Payload (iOS).
Default Auto-Connect Host	Defines whether the Client should automatically connect to the host each time Studio is launched on a Smart device.

To create a Studio host profile payload:

1.From the Profiles tab, click New Payload in the Available Payloads panel.

2.The Payload dialog box appears. Select the iOS and Android option and then click Studio Host Profile Configuration.

3.The host profile options appear. Configure the payload and click Save.

To apply the settings on devices, add the payload to an Application Configuration profile and apply the profile to a folder. Once you perform a deployment, enrolled devices assigned to that folder receive the settings the next time they check in. If a Smart device is unmanaged through Avalanche, print the QR code associated with the folder and scan it with the device to configure the Client. For information on printing the QR code associated with a folder, see Configuring Software on Unenrolled Smart Devices.
