Global HTTP Proxy MDM payload settings for Apple devices
Use the Global HTTP Proxy payload to specify a proxy for all HTTP traffic to and from an iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV device that’s enrolled in an MDM solution.
If you choose Manual proxy type, you need the proxy server address—including its port and optionally a user name and password—for logging in to the proxy server. If you choose Auto proxy type, you can enter a proxy auto-configuration (PAC) URL.
