macOS/iOS configuration profile not in documentation

Open tflidd opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

There is a configuration file to set up apple devices for quite some time: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/10068

but nothing is mentioned in the documentation (https://help.nextcloud.com/t/why-is-there-a-macos-ios-configuration-file-in-nextcloud/80914).

For the automatic setup, there are still some points open: https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues/70

My question would be regarding 2FA, so you would have to login first via browser on your mobile to install the profile. Then this installs probably the links and then you would have to generate manually an app password? Can we streamline this a bit? And for the moment, we just document the linked file? On the other hand, just installing everything manually isn't that difficult if the .well-known redirections are set up correctly.

Verified on iOS 17 that indeed an app password works. Would be great to document that this is the password expected, and not the user password.

Even better would be to automate the app password generation and maybe even pass it to iOS, but not sure how easy that would be.
