Entering Common Deployment Technology Settings

On the Common tab of the Deployment view, you need to select the deployment technology that App Portal should use to perform user syncing, computer syncing, evaluating collection membership, and other tasks.

You can connect App Portal to multiple deployment technologies: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, Intune, Symantec Altiris, Workspace ONE UEM (mobile applications), and JAMF Pro (Macintosh desktop applications). You can also specify custom a custom connection string to another third-party deployment technology. You are permitted to set up App Portal to perform some tasks with one deployment technology and other tasks with a different deployment technology.

Note:Until you perform these steps on the Deployment > Common tab to sync user and computer data with the selected deployment technology, App Portal will not recognize the logged in user.

To enter common deployment technology settings:

1. On the Admin tab, open the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view.
2. Open the Common tab.
3. If you are using more than one deployment technology, in the Define order for detecting client deployment technology list, specify the order in which App Portal will check them to determine which deployment technology the end user’s computer is a client of.
4. From the Syncing Users list, select the deployment technology you want App Portal to use to sync users using built-in sync queries.

Note:If you are going to specify a custom computer sync connection string in the Custom Computer Sync Settings and Custom User Computer Map Sync Settings areas below, set this field to Not Defined.

5. From the Syncing Computers list, select the deployment technology you want App Portal to use to sync computers using built-in queries.

Note:If you are going to specify a custom computer sync connection string in the Custom Computer Sync Settings and Custom User Computer Map Sync Settings areas below, set this field to Not Defined.

6. From the Evaluating collection membership list, select the deployment technology that you want App Portal to use to evaluate collection membership for standard conditions.
7. From the Inventory/OS Deployment list, select the deployment technology that you want App Portal to use to perform OS deployments and to read inventory data.

Note:Not supported for Altiris unless also using FlexNet Manager Suite.

8. In the Sync Page Size field, enter the batch size to process users and computers. The default value is 100.
9. Click Save, and then click the Sync Data Now button to sync App Portal using the current selections.

Note:By default, the sync also happens at 2:00 a.m. each morning. To configure the time, open the Settings > Timers view and edit the Time of day to sync users and computers field.

10. If you want App Portal to use custom user sync queries, enter those queries in the following text boxes:
Custom User ID Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain user IDs so that App Portal can process them in batch. See example in Custom User ID Sync SQL Query.
Custom User Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain all user columns. Some of the columns and their names are mandatory, as described in the provided query sample. See example in Custom User Sync SQL Query.
Custom User Sync Connection String—If you do not specify a custom connection string, App Portal will default to the connection string of the technology selected for Syncing Users. See example in Custom User Sync Connection String.

Click the Test User Sync Settings button to test the entered queries.

11. If you want App Portal to use custom computer sync queries, enter those queries in the following text boxes:
Custom Computer ID Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain computer IDs so that App Portal can process them in batch. See example in Custom Computer ID Sync SQL Query.
Custom Computer Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain all computer columns. Some of the columns and their names are mandatory, as described in the provided query sample. See example in Custom Computer Sync SQL Query.
Custom Computer Sync Connection String—If you do not specify a custom connection string, App Portal will default to the connection string of the technology selected for Syncing Users. See example in Custom Computer Sync SQL Query.

Click the Test Computer Sync Settings button to test the entered queries.

12. If you want App Portal to use custom user computer map sync settings, enter those queries in the following text boxes:
Custom User Computer Map ID Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain user IDs and computer IDs so that App Portal can process them in batch. See example in Custom User Computer Map ID Sync SQL Query .
Custom User Computer Map Sync SQL Query—Query to obtain all user and computer columns. Some of the columns and their names are mandatory, as described in the provided query sample. See example in Custom User Computer Map Sync SQL Query .
Custom User Computer Map Sync Connection String—If you do not specify a custom connection string, App Portal will default to the connection string of the technology selected for Syncing Users. See example in Custom User Computer Map Sync Connection String.

Click the Test User Computer Map Sync Settings button to test the entered queries.
