iPhone Enterpise Deployment: Mobile Device Management

I was reading up on iPhone in the enterprise and saw something about Mobile Device Management servers. As far as I can tell, there are a few 3rd party MDM vendors, but Apple says that one could implement their own.

The iPhone Configuration Utility allows you to set up a Server URL, Check in URL, Topic, Identity, and some other things for an MDM, but there's little information on how to build a server that hooks in with these.

I've looked in the Enterprise Deployment, iPhone Configuration, and even the iPhone Mobile Device Management docs, but have found little aside from vague mentions or the occasional diagram. Is there a documented protocol somewhere?

There are a lot of MDM products that serves the iOS device management purpose. There are a lot out there like Airwatch, Mobileiron, Meraki, SimpleMDM etc. I've tried out Hexnode MDM and it is worth checking out. Hope this helps.

You better follow the apple provided ruby code. Set it up and make it working. After that you can simply convert that to any language. That worked for me.
