iPad 1:1 Deployment Guide
Step-by-step guide for deploying KyberGate on iPad fleets using Jamf, Mosyle, or Apple School Manager.
Prerequisites
- iPads enrolled in Apple School Manager (ASM)
- MDM solution (Jamf Pro, Mosyle, or similar)
- Supervised mode enabled on all iPads
- KyberGate organization account created
- Network access to KyberGate proxy servers (auto-configured via PAC)
Download Your CA Certificate
Download your organization's CA certificate from the KyberGate dashboard (Settings → Proxy → Download CA Cert) or directly from proxy.kybergate.com/api/ca.pem. This certificate allows KyberGate to inspect HTTPS traffic.
Create MDM Certificate Profile
In your MDM console, create a new configuration profile. Add the CA certificate as a trusted root certificate. This must be deployed before the proxy profile to avoid certificate errors.
Create Proxy Auto-Config Profile
Create a second configuration profile with a Global HTTP Proxy payload. Set ProxyType to 'Auto' and set the PAC URL to: https://proxy.kybergate.com/api/pac/YOUR_ORG_ID?email=$EMAIL&udid=$UDID. Jamf will substitute the MDM variables automatically.
Deploy to Device Group
Assign both profiles to your iPad device group. Deploy in phases — start with a test group of 5-10 devices. Verify filtering is working by visiting a known blocked domain (e.g., tiktok.com).
Verify in KyberGate Dashboard
Log into dashboard.kybergate.com and check the Devices page. You should see your iPads appearing with status 'online'. Each device will show its UDID, model, OS version, and current user.
Configure Policies
Go to Policy Manager and apply appropriate filtering policies. Use the built-in templates (Elementary, Middle, High) or create custom policies. Set up schedule-based rules if needed.
Troubleshooting
Certificate errors on websites
Devices not appearing in dashboard
