LANDESK MOBILITY MANAGER Introduction to the LANDesk Mobility Manager 9.5 installation The LANDesk Mobility Manager 9.5 allows you to discover, enroll, and manage mobile devices. The setup process consists of running the installer for the Mobility components, logging in to Mobility, and configuring the Mobility server. It requires some familiarity with LANDesk Management Suite concepts and tools. This Installation Guide provides detailed instructions on how to perform each of these steps. After installation and configuration is complete, go to the LANDesk Mobility Manager Users Guide for information on how to use the tool's features. Scope The scope of this guide is to walk LANDesk Administrators through the setup of LANDesk Mobility Manager premise services on the LANDesk core server. After installing the premise services and performing the initial configuration, users who are members of the Windows "LANDesk Administrators" user group can log in to the Mobility tool from the LDMS console. Assumptions This document assumes the LANDesk Administrator has a working knowledge of LANDesk Management Suite. 4
INSTALLATION GUIDE LANDesk Mobility Manager overview and prerequisites See the following topics for more information on LANDesk Mobility Manager features, components, architecture, and prerequisites for installation and configuration. Mobility Manager components and architecture The diagram below shows the components that interact when you use LANDesk Mobility Manager. Mobility Manager components 1: Android devices, 2: GCM (Google Cloud Messaging for Android),3: Mobility cloud server, 4: firewall, 5: LANDesk Cloud Services Appliance (CSA), 6: LDMS 9.5 core server with LANDesk Mobility Manager 9.5, 7: APNS (Apple Push Notification Service), 8: Apple ios devices. When devices enroll, they communicate with the Mobility server in the cloud, which sends device details to the LDMS core server through your existing CSA. When you send profiles or commands to the devices, the traffic goes to the Mobility server in the cloud, which sends the information to the devices using the appropriate protocol (GCM for Android devices or APNS for ios devices). You have the option to set up Mobility Manager without a CSA. Configure port forwarding to send traffic from the Mobility cloud server to the LDMS core server. Installation prerequisites This section describes the hardware and software requirements for the premise services and the firewall settings. You must comply with the following prerequisites in order to install, configure, and use LANDesk Mobility Manager. Premise Server/LDMO prerequisites Have LDMS 9.5 core server installed Have LDMS SP1 installed 5
LANDESK MOBILITY MANAGER IMPORTANT: You must install the premise services on the LDMS core server Ensure the service account for your core server is a member of the LANDesk Management Suite user group Know the credentials for a service account for the LDAP server Allow traffic on port 443 between the LDMS core server and the CSA/cloud server CSA prerequisites CSA MUST be updated with the latest patches. (Check in Reports > Software packages to make sure you have openssl patch 0.9.8k-1.18 and openssh patch 5.8p2-1.19.) The CSA hostname (configured in the CSA) must be an external DNS name The CSA public name in the core CSA settings should be lowercase LANDesk Mobility Manager discontinued features If you migrate from a previous version of Mobility Manager to version 9.5 SP1, there are several new Android payloads, but also some payloads that have been removed or renamed. For ios, the devices must be removed from management by the previous version before they can connect to the new version. The devices can be automatically unenrolled during Mobility Manager setup, or each device user can manually remove the existing MDM profile on his device. Payloads that have been distributed are deleted from the device when they unenroll from the previous version. Mobility Manager no longer supports the following ios payload types: Advanced CalDAV CardDAV LDAP SCEP Subscribed calendars Provisioning For Android devices, the options for the Device Options payload are included in the new Restrictions payload. 6

NOTE: Using the LANDesk Mobility Manager tool For information about specific features and how to enroll and manage mobile devices with the LANDesk Mobility Manager tool, see the Mobility Manager 9.5 Users Guide. Enable users to see content in the LANDesk Portal The LANDesk Portal app for ios or Android allows you to make content such as documents, videos, links, or apps easily accessible to device users. For example, you could distribute a shortcut to a frequently used corporate web site. To make content available through the LANDesk Portal, create payloads that contain the content, add them to a profile, and apply the profile to the user (or the location where the device shows up in the Navigation Tree). When the device is updated, the user can use his network credentials to log in to the LANDesk Portal app and view the content. Depending on the type of content, use a Document/Media payload, Link payload, or Software payload. For more information on creating payloads and profiles, see Managing Smart Mobile Device Profiles in the Avalanche help. 10
