# Managing Safe Share for iOS through MDM software

If your organization is an enterprise that manages (or intends to manage) the deployment of Safe Share for iOS through Mobile Device Management (MDM) software, then the information in this section can assist system administrators manage such a deployment scenario.

## Step 1 - Install Safe Share for iOS via MDM software 

There are two methods for deploying/installing the Safe Share for iOS application to mobile devices using MDM software:

* If you have an enterprise build of Safe Share for iOS (i.e. an `.ipa` file), then select it within (and upload it to) your MDM software, which can then push the `.ipa` file out to the required mobile devices.
* Otherwise, within your MDM software, choose the relevant option to install an 'external' or 'App Store' application (the exact terminology may differ depending on the particular MDM software you use). In such a scenario, you are likely to be asked to search for the Safe Share for iOS application, which can be found here: \

  **Safe Share By Covata** (iTunes URL: [https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/safe-share/id874127973](https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/safe-share/id874127973))

> [!WARNING]
>
> Ensure that Safe Share for iOS is installed to the required mobile devices under the management of your MDM software before proceeding.

## Step 2 - Configure Safe Share for iOS via MDM software 

Within your MDM sofware, enter the Safe Share for iOS application's bundle ID, which is:

* `com.covata.safeshare` (for the Apple App Store build of Safe Share for iOS) and
* `com.covata.safeshare.enterprise` (for the enterprise build of the application).

Configure an Apple Property List file (`mdm-configuration.plist`) for Safe Share for iOS:

1. Create the `mdm-configuration.plist` file by doing either of the following:

   * Use an appropriate software application to create this file for you (e.g. XCode); this file must contain the key `accessServiceUrl`
   * Create your own `mdm-configuration.plist` file, by copying the code snippet below and pasting it into a text editor.
2. Modify the value of the `accessServiceUrl` key to the URL of your Covata Platform's Access Service.
3. Upload this modified `.plist` file using your MDM software.

## The 'mdm-configuration.plist' file 

```text theme={null}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>accessServiceUrl</key>
    <string>https://covata-platform.xy-company.com</string>
</dict>
</plist>
```
