Registration#

Introduction#

To start managing devices, you'll first need to register your WingMDM installation with an Apple ID you manage.

This can be any Apple ID, and does not need to match your WingMDM login or the Apple ID on your devices.

This link will need to be renewed once a year. For this reason we recommend using an Apple ID associated with your vessel, and not any personal Apple IDs.

This is summarised in the following steps:

  • Download a certificate signing request (CSR) from WingMDM
  • Upload it to Apple
  • Download the generated certificate from Apple
  • Upload it to WingMDM

  3. Type in your Apple ID and select 'Download' to generate and download a WingMDM_CSR.plist file.

If you decide to use a different Apple ID, you can go back and repeat these steps and provide a different email address.

Upload CSR to Apple and download the certificate#

  1. Log in to identity.apple.com with your Apple ID.

  2. Select "Create a certificate"

  3. Select "Browse..." to pick the WingMDM_CSR.plist you downloaded from WingMDM.

  4. Download the generated file

Upload to WingMDM#

  1. Go back to the 'Enroll new device' view

  2. Select the certificate you downloaded from Apple.

  3. Select 'Upload'

Once this process has been completed, the registration form will be replaced by a QR code, allowing you to start enrolling devices.
