Confluence Server App managed app config .plist template Edited

[Ralf Dahmen]

Dear Community,

We are using confluence Server (onPremise) as wiki software and now trying to rollout the confluence server app to the company owned iphones, manged in MobileIron MDM (onPremise).

So provide some more usability to our customers, we are trying to use an managed app config to push the wiki url directly in the app.

Unfortunatelly, it doesn't seem to be working right now.

Can somebody please provide an .plist-Config template?

I tried around with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>title</key><string>My Confluence Site</string><key>baseURL</key><string>https://conf.example.com</string></dict></plist>

And (according to this) 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTF PLISR 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>mdm</key>
<string>[ { "title" : "My Confluence Site", "baseURL": "https://wiki.example.com" } ]</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Sadly, without any success

Thanks

For most people, you'll need to explain what the plist is.  I have a feeling you might be better off asking this on a site that's about deploying things this way, rather than an Atlassian forum.

Hi Nic,

Thanks for the answer.

According this Documentation article it should be possible to use confluence server app with managed app config.

According to our MDM Documentation, managed app configs can only be uploaded in .plist format, so i'm trying to figure out, how to convert the .json syntax from the article to the .plist syntax.

Unfortunatelly, without any success.

This is clearly no issue of the app or config deployment rather than the app-config communication.

Therefore i'm hoping somebody figured out how to to it.

Makes sense, it is worth asking in case some of us have done this sort of thing for an Atlassian system.

I'd guess by the lack of response that not many have enough experience that might be of help to you.  I do hope you've asked in places that might be a bit more familiar with creating plists.  It may be they can give you some generic stuff where we can be a bit more helpful in converting specific bits of it.

I got this to work using the following:

<dict>
<key>sites</key>
<string>[{ "title": "My Jira Site", "baseURL": "https://jira.example.com"}]</string>
</dict>
