9.3.1 Registering iOS Devices

Send your users an email with the URL to Identity Server including the correct port number. Users specify the Identity Server URL in MobileAccess by tapping the menu in the upper left corner of the app, then tap Accounts > + to specify the URL of Identity Server in the Account Providers field. The URL is https://Identity_server_dns_name:port.

For example, https://idp.acme.com:8443

The app supports registering iOS devices using a QR code. Instead of typing the Identity Server URL, users can scan a QR code, and the URL gets populated. Along with the Identity Server URL, you can also provide a QR code to the users.

To generate the QR code, launch the QR Code Generator application and perform the following steps:

  1. Specify the Identity Server URL and port in the QR code generator. For example, https://idp.acme.com:8443

  2. Save the QR code.

  3. Copy the QR code in the email that you will send to the users.

NOTE:You can also use other application to generate the QR code.

A user performs the following steps:

  1. Launch the MobileAccess 2 app.

  2. Tap the + button on the Sign In page.

  3. Click Use QR Code to Register.

  4. Scan the QR code.

  5. Click Sign In to complete the registration process.
