Network proxy MDM settings for Apple devices
You can configure network proxy settings for Apple devices enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Network proxy settings permit the device to use a proxy server for access to websites.
Setting | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Hostname | The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the proxy server. Used for manual configuration. | Yes |
Port | The port number of the proxy server. Used for manual configuration. | Yes |
Account username | The username for the manual proxy connection. | Yes |
Account password | The password for the manual proxy connection. | No |
PAC-based auto-proxy configuration | Choose Automatic from the pop-up menu, then enter the URL of a PAC file — for example, http://www.example.com/filename.pac. | Yes |
Web Proxy Autodiscovery (WPAD) configuration | Choose Automatic from the pop-up menu. If you leave the Proxy Server URL field empty, the device requests the wpad.dat file using DHCP (using a 252 entry) or DNS (using an A Record with the name WPAD). | No |
PAC fallback | Specify whether to allow the device to connect to websites if the proxy is unreachable. | No |
