An MDM connection links Iru to your mobile device management (MDM) service so devices can enroll and so Iru can recognize them as managed in device-trust decisions. You manage these under Policies → MDM Connections.

Choose a connection type

When you add a connection, you pick how to set it up:
TypeWhat it does
Iru Endpoint InstancePre-populates the connection fields from your Iru Endpoint instance, so there is little to enter by hand.
Custom MDM ConnectionLets you enter the connection details manually for another MDM.

Connection settings

A connection has a display name and covers one or both platforms:
SettingWhat it is
APNs topicThe Apple Push Notification service topic the MDM uses to reach Apple devices.
Check-in URLThe URL Apple devices check in to during and after enrollment.
Not sure where to find these values? Run the Collect MDM details helper scripts on a device already enrolled in your MDM to read them off - the macOS script returns the APNs topic and Check-in URL, and the Windows script returns the Provider ID and Discovery service URL. See Resources.

Enrollment profiles

For Apple platforms, you can download configuration profiles (macOS and iOS) from the connection. These configure Iru Access on a managed device - its privacy permissions and single sign-on extension - for deployment through your MDM; they don’t enroll the device into MDM itself.

Connection secrets

A connection uses a client secret that you can rotate from the connection’s Client secrets list:
  • Rotate issues a new secret while the previous one keeps working for 24 hours, so you can update the MDM before the old secret stops. The previous secret shows an Expires Soon badge until it expires.
  • Invalidate ends a secret immediately - use it if a secret may have been exposed.

How this relates to device trust

A connected MDM is how Iru can tell that a device is managed. Combined with the health signals the Iru Access app reports, your authentication policies can require a known, managed, healthy device before granting access.
