Auto Device Registration (ADR) with AppConfig

Automatic Device Registration (ADR)

PlayerLync Auto Device Registration (ADR) can automatically register your organization’s devices if you currently use a Mobile Device Manager (MDM). PlayerLync works with an MDM standard called AppConfig that is compatible with most major MDMs. For additional information on AppConfig and which MDM vendors participate, please visit https://www.appconfig.org/

IMPORTANT NOTES

Auto Device Registration is not possible without deploying the app through an MDM. Please see the below tables for information on the keys necessary to register devices in your PlayerLync environment. Once the AppConfig profile has been pushed to your devices along with the PlayerLync App, you should see a screen prompting for a deviceID. If your organization has ADC (Auto Device Configuration) enabled, your device will also have registered that deviceID and you will now be at a login screen for the app.

MDM SPECIFIC VALUES

MDM	Key	Value	Vendor Docs
AirWatch	serial_number	{DeviceSerialNumber}	AirWatch
	location	XXXXX
inTune	serial_number	{{serialnumber}}	inTune
	location	XXXXX
JAMF	serial_number	$SERIALNUMBER	JAMF
	location	XXXXX
Meraki	serial_number	$DEVICESERIAL	Meraki
	location	XXXXX
MobileIron	serial_number	${deviceSN}	MobileIron
	location	XXXXX

NOTES

1. Location is dependent on which key was used to hold this value. If your organization only uses ONE primary org in PlayerLync, you can enter a location ID in the PlayerLync AdminPortal for that primary org then just manually type in that value instead of using a dynamic key-value.
2. MDM specific keys provided above were gathered by PlayerLync. We recommend you double- check your MDM keys to ensure the most up-to-date information is being used.
3. If you see a screen asking for Company Name and credentials after the app is installed and opened, the AppConfig did NOT apply correctly. Check your keys and values.
