Configuring Microsoft Intune integration

Intune integration allows FortiClient iOS endpoints to connect to EMS. FortiClient iOS 6.2.2 and later versions support integration with Intune.

To configure Microsoft Intune integration:
  1. Add FortiClient iOS to Microsoft Intune.
  2. Add the default instance for iOS using App Config. Supported App Config keys include the following:

    Key

    Description

    mac_address

    iOS device's MAC address.

    udid

    iOS device's UDID.

    group_tag

    This value is used as a group tag for configuration in EMS. For example, you can use the string "field_engineer" as a group tag, which is used when FortiClient iOS initially connects to EMS. See Group assignment rules.

    cloud_invite_code

    This value is used for connecting FortiClient iOS to FortiClient Cloud. Enter the invite code received from FortiClient Cloud.

    user_name

    FortiClient iOS username.

    ems_server

    EMS IP address or hostname.

    ems_port

    Port number for FortiClient iOS to connect Telemetry to EMS. By default, this is 8013.

    ems_key

    FortiClient Telemetry connection key. The EMS administrator may require FortiClient iOS to provide this key during connection.

  3. To enable Web Filter:
    1. Log in to Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center.
    2. Go to Devices - Configuration profiles.
    3. Click Create profile.
    4. Configure the profile:

      4. In the Configuration profile file field, select the Web Filter Mobileconfig profile that you created in Creating a Mobileconfig profile. Click OK.
    5. Click Create.

    6. Go to Assignments, then select the desired groups/users/devices to enable Web Filter for.
    7. After enrolling the iOS device to the Intune portal, ensure that the device receives the Web Filter Mobileconfig profile:
      1. On the device, go to Settings > General > Device Management.
      2. In the management profile, go to Restrictions.
      3. Verify that the Plug-In Bundle ID field contains the following URI: com.fortinet.forticlient.fabricagent.
