"Custom Settings" (.plist) for IOS MDM (Enforce DNS)

I am working with Apple's Profile Manager on Mavericks Server.  In search of a solution for filtering content on these student ipads while they are off network, I found OpenDNS's cloud based filtering.  Instead of using a HTTP Global Proxy (not an option for a small school of our size due to the price of running aquireing quality upload speeds), OpenDNS with their unique location in network traffic, filters through their DNS service.  This setting could be locked onto my suppervised ipads using our MDM if there are API calls available to "enforce dns" for all networks that the ipads connect to. 
Is it possable to design a .plist to Enforce DNS in this manner? 
Thanks,
Tim Patterson

I wouldn't think so iOS is a user opt in universe were the user is the owner and all powerful, not the institution.
And globally "enforcing DNS" would most likely not be acceptable to Apple in their current user centric model
Things are improving and who knows what ios8 will bring
Stupid question but why worry about filtering iPads when they are off your network, connected to a network you're not responsible for.
iPads on my network are filtered, I don't care what they look off site, it's not on my network not my responsibility.

  • Edit application settings AIR for iOS not working

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a .ipa so I can test my app on my iPhone but my Flash cs6 will no longer let me edit application settings so I can publish the file.
    The first time I did it, it was working fine. I added my certificate and my Provisioning Profile and published a .ipa file.
    Now, when I click the wrench tool icon or go through the file menu and select AIR for iOS settings, nothing happens. All it does is generate an .xml file for me ("filename"-app.xml).
    What is wrong and how can I fix this?
    I've tried rebooting.
    I have the same problem on Flash cs6 and Flash cs5.5 on two different computers.
    I have an iOS development Certificate.
    I have an iOS development Provisioning Profile.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Cheers,

  • Configuring Mountain Lion Server for iOS MDM

    Hi all,
    I am an admitted newbie to the Mac world. That said, I am in the process of setting up an OsX 10.8 server to handle the MDM for our iPad deployment. This is in a school district that runs all Windows in Active Directory.
    I attempted to do the setup with no luck. So, I tried to reset the server back to the defaults and found that the settings I had made previously were still there.
    What I need to know is how should I go about getting back to essentially scratch with this setup? Once I have that, what is the correct setup process to get me to where I can enroll the iPads to do the wireless MDM? We do not need to have access to the server from any other devices. No other services are needed like email, file shares etc. We have several sites on many different subnets but all on the same network.
    A few specifics I do need to know is which network configuration would be preferred for our type of network? I'm thinking Private since everything will be handled internally. Also, regarding the certificates, is an SSL certificate required? And last, I read that there are some TCP ports that need to be opened. Is this required if we are running strictly internal with this?
    Sorry for rambling on and my inexperience. I appreciate any help anyone can give.
    Thanks!

    You can use .private but if there is EVER the possibility that this would be used outside your LAN, then I would use a FQDN.
    You do not need a commercial certificate. A self-signed will work fine.
    The default self-signed has a 1 year expire. If you don't want to deal with updating the cert in a year, I would create a new 5 year cert.
    This option is harder to find now with mountain lion.
    From the Certificates section in Server, first click the gear and choose 'show all certficates', then hit the + button and choose 'Create a trusted certificate'. You will see a button to override defaults. This allows you to have a different expire date.
    You can reset the profile manager data (stored in postgres) with:
    sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh

  • Can I get rid of the red color "1" reminder on the Settings icon for iOS 6 update?

    I have my apps working good on iOS 5.1.1 and I know for sure the update to iOS 6 will mess up more things than worth the upgrade.  I was wondering the red "1" reminder will go away if I uncheck the box for "check for new software updates automatically" in iTunes and do a recovery on my iPad2.  I have backup my iPad2 on iCloud and on my laptop.  Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no legit way at all to go back.
    Have you tried reset?
    Restore from backup?
    Restore as new?

    Hello Rishi,
    the following trsnacttions lead you directly into the correspondent customizing settings valid for 4.6 C and higher:
    <b>QCC0</b> For the entire QM-Settings
    <b>QCC1</b> For the settings of a Quality notification

  • Custom colour palette in Keynote for iOS?

    Is there some workaround that would let me create a custom colour palette in Keynote for iOS? Importing a PPT slide seems to change the palette, so I assume it's possible, but I don't want to have to use PPT just to set up Keynote! Ideally, I'd like to be able to import a Kuler palette into the iOS app using only the iPad (I don't have a Mac).

    FOUND THE SOLUTION:
    I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
    -Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
    -About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
    -Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
    My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things.  Hope it works for you.

  • I want to set Firefox to never remember history. When I do this using the tools tab and click okay, it goes right back to "Use Custom Settings for History". I don't want that.

    I know how to manage privacy using the tools tab at the top of the address bar, or so I thought. I want to choose "Never Remember History". When I do that, and click "OK", the next time I check the privacy settings, the history is right back to "Use custom settings for history". I don't want this. Also, I don't want to use autocomplete for forms, but I can't get those settings to stay, either. I basically don't want info. stored on this computer. My system was hacked several months ago, by some joker who named all my system folders a racist slur (I reported it to Norton, and a technician had a look at it). Anyway, I want to keep things as safe as possible. Please allow me to delete all my history when I close Firefox. I don't really like Google, either, because they have a reputation for not respecting people's privacy. I don't like that I didn't have an option to uncheck google's toolbar when I installed Firefox.
    Thank you.

    That is probably OK.<br />
    You may have changed one of the other history or cookie settings.
    If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

  • Uploading AIR for IOS thru Application Loader I get the following error - The package does not contain an Info.plist.

    I'm publishing an .fla in AIR for IOS.
    I'm in CC 2014 so first I need to know which AIR should I publish in?
    newest is AIR 14.0.0.178 for IOS
    IOS deployment type is App Store
    publishes with no error.
    I see the following files included .swf and app.xml
    I convert the .ipa to a zip file
    Upload that thru the Application Loader I get the following error
    The package does not contain an Info.plist.
    Where is the infoplist for this and do I convert the .ipa and the info to a zip file?
    I converted the .ipa to a .zip and the intoplist file is NOT THERE  how do I generate this?
    Any help here?

    Ok this is becoming very very frustrating as I have been at this for hours now. So the only way to explain this is to write what I did step by step as I have to be doing something wrong, just to recap:
    I was publishing from Flash CC 2014 using AIR 14.0 and getting Digital Certificate is not valid message.
    Was instructed to download new AIR 17 , I did this installed into Flash and used to publish.
    I used my previous p12, app ID and distribution certificates all generated properly.
    The file worked ONCE but I got an app ID error ( I understood I used the wrong app ID)
    I changed it to the right app ID and the very next time and after 10 attempts I got the same error  Digital Certificate is not valid
    SO I then downloaded AIR 16.0
    RE DID ALL MY CERTIFICATES AND P12'S
    went to publish and I STILL GET THE SAME MESSAGE   Digital Certificate is not valid

  • I have selected "Use custom settings for history" and pressed "OK" but it defaults back to "Remember history", how do I stop this?

    I have to enable cookies in order to have an online purchase credited to my mileage account. So, I opened Firefox Tool and selected Options then Privacy. There, I changed "Remember history" to "Use custom settings for history," as, this will achieve what I am trying to do. However, when I press "OK" the box jumps back to the Privacy box and I see that "Remember history" is still the setting. What steps do I take to prevent the Privacy box from defaulting to "Remember history" when I want to change that setting to something else?

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    Do you have a problem with the cookies?
    You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
    *Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
    *Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    *Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

  • My privacy setting is stuck on Remember history, won't stay on Use custom settings for history after I set and click ok

    When I go into Tools, Options, Privacy and set 'Use custom settings for history' and then click okay it will not save. It stays on 'Remember history', though it will save 'Never remember history' as I tested this. This seems to have happened after recent Firefox latest update. Does anyone know why I can't choose 'Use custom settings for history' as this is the setting I want to use?

    It's not that I'm not satisfied with the current settings, it's just that I'm one of those curious people - wanting to know why suddenly I couldn't change my history setting when I could always chop and change it before to a setting of my choice. I noticed this has happened since recently updating to Firefox 6. When things like this just happen I always search for a reason. Anyway, it sounds as though I am a bit of a novice on Firefox compared to yourself, and if you recommend that it's probably best to stay on Remember History and it's not likely to cause any problems, then say no more, I shall accept your advice. Any more tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

  • No custom settings for AAC?

    I am unable to change the custom settings when using AAC encoder.
    I'm fairly sure that there used to be an option to change the bit rate and VBR under the Custom setting (and the Apple website describes this), but now when I select custom it just shows 256kb and does not give any options for custom settings.
    A small thing ... there used to be a little line between Spoken Podcast and Custom. That little line is not there anymore.
    There are still custom settings for MP3 and AIFF and WAV.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • Cannot change setting in privacy from remember history to use custom settings for history. I can set in to change but on closing with the ok button thus closing the privacy tab, it then reverts back to remember history.

    I have been by a web sit that the cookies are disabled in the browser. on looking at the help on firefox help the instuction as i understand was to change the setting under the privacy tab ref history fromthe default setting of rember hhistory to use custom settings for history. I change the setting click ok but it reverts back to rember history. I just cannot change the setting.This also happend in the prevous version.

    To see History and Cookie settings in Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    You need to make at least one change to make "Use Custom settings" stay selected.
    If all history settings are the default then the History and Cookie setting revert to "Remember history" the next time you open Tools > Options > Privacy.
    So it looks that your cookie setting are already correct.

  • Firefox 3.6.16 won't keep the "custom settings for history", thus causing page-load issues - any clue how to make it "stick"?

    Ever since I updated to Firefox 3.6.x I am getting constant page-load errors on apps in Facebook. I've cleared the history, the cache, cookies... and will literally set it for the "custom history settings" in my tools/options/privacy tab, reload the page, it's fine. I go to another page and come back to the app (same window) and get the error message again. Back to tools/options/privacy and "Remember History" is showing, rather than the custom settings. This is happening incessantly.

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.
