About the Supported Deployment Technologies
App Portal supports the following deployment technologies for software distribution:
| • | System Center Configuration Manager |
| • | Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager |
| • | Microsoft Intune |
| • | Altiris Client Management Suite 7.1 |
| • | Jamf Pro 10.36.1 |
| • | Jamf Cloud |
| • | Workspace ONE UEM (Cloud-based for mobile application deployment) |
The purpose of App Portal’s support for multiple deployment technologies is to enable you to:
| • | Present a single App Portal instance to your users even if your organization uses both System Center Configuration Manager and Altiris deployment technologies across your enterprise. |
| • | Present a universal catalog to your users that includes both desktop and mobile applications, and includes both Windows and OS X applications. |
| • | Enable you to provide a universal catalog containing: |
| • | Both desktop and mobile applications |
| • | Both Windows and OS X desktop applications |
| • | Google Android, iOS, and Windows Phone mobile applications |
You enter the deployment technology connection settings by opening the Deployment subview of the Site Management > Settings view, and then entering the settings on the ConfigMgr, SCCM 2012, Intune, Altiris, Workspace ONE UEM, Jamf Pro, or Jamf Cloud tabs.
App Portal can only be connected to multiple servers of the same type if they are set up in a hierarchical relationship, with only the “main” site’s connection information entered on tabs of the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view. The following table describes the acceptable hierarchical relationships for the deployment technologies:
|
Technology |
Description |
|
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager |
Single Primary Site OR Central Administration Site > Child Primary Sites For System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, App Portal only communicates with one site: either a Single Primary Site or a Central Administration Site (which in turn replicates data to all Child Primary Sites). |
|
Altiris Client Management Suite 7.1 or later |
Single Primary Site OR Central Site > Child Primary Sites For Altiris. App Portal only communicates with one site: either a Single Primary Site or a Central Site (which in turn replicates data to all Child Primary Sites). |
Important:App Portal does not support connecting to multiple, disconnected deployment servers that are using the same deployment technology and version.
Note:When using System Center Configuration Manager, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 is required to be installed on the IIS server in order to run the App Portal service and web site. This is not required when using Altiris Client Management Suite.
