Configure the GlobalProtect App for iOS

While a third-party MDM system allows you to push configuration settings that allow access to your corporate resources and provides a mechanism for enforcing endpoint restrictions, it does not secure the connection between the mobile endpoint and the services to which it connects. To enable the app to establish secure connections, you must enable VPN support on the endpoint.
The following table describes typical settings that you can configure using your third-party MDM system. Note that the value in the Setting column may change based on the MDM system you are working with.
