Description

We have 1:1 equipment at the school with iPads and are using Nextcloud for the next school year. It would save us a lot of work if the server URL and login data could be transferred with the Managed App Configuraiton.
The login data is available in the MDM system through an LDAP connection.
Does this interface already exist and an example of a plist file.

Research direction

Start by investigating whether the iOS app already supports Apple's Managed App Configuration and whether a plist example exists. Define the scope for passing the server URL and LDAP-provided login data through an MDM system, then document or implement the interface and verify the resulting configuration on iPad.
