You can add a device policy in XenMobile to specify global HTTP proxy settings for devices running iOS 6.0 or later. You can deploy only one global HTTP proxy policy per device.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.

Prerequisites

Before deploying this policy, be sure to set all iOS devices for which you want to set a global HTTP proxy into Supervised mode. For details, see To place an iOS device in Supervised mode by using the Apple Configurator or Deploy devices through the Apple Deployment Program.

Set deployment rules to enroll devices before sending the Proxy policy to the devices.
