Device management#

Introduction#

For DoHzel, devices can be of two different types: * Managed devices are mostly used when administrators manage fleets of devices, or distinct populations of users, with the same security settings. Users cannot change the settings of their managed device. In this case, security settings are managed and applied using a profile. * Freedom devices: users with a freedom device can manage individually their protection settings, and these settings are not managed by the profile settings. Freedom devices also do not share their allowlist or their blocklist with their profile. Furthermore, Freedom devices can also be integrated in a profile (even with managed devices along), in order to collect usage logs for a consolidation at profile level.

Enroll a new device#

In order to enroll a device into a profile: * On the mobile app: go to settings (1) * On a DoHzel proxy: open the “rebound URL” in a Web browser and go to settings (1)

DoHzel app: installation

  • At the bottom of the settings page, click on “Enroll my device” (2):

DoHzel app: Enroll a device

  • Go back to the DoHzel console, go to the Devices tab (3) and click on “Enroll a device” (4):

Enroll a device from the console

  • A window pops up, allowing you to enroll a device either as a managed device or as a freedom device (5). The enrollment process works exactly the same for managed and freedom devices. In this new window:
  • The enrollment code (6) is to be introduced into the application to enroll the device.
  • If needed, a new enrollment code can be generated using the button (7). Note that the enrollment code is related to the current profile you are enrolling the device into (“Home” profile in this example). So, if you want to enroll a device into a different profile, select first the corresponding profile and do the same procedure.
  • Copy the enrollment code (6)
  • You can click on “OK” to close this window.

Get an enrollment code from DoHzel console

  • Back to the application, enter the device name (8) and paste or type the enrollment code (9) and then click on the button “USE” (10):

Enroll your device NB: You may have to click several times on this button

  • Next screen shows that your device has been recognized. Click on the button “Continue”:

Validate enrollment in the application NB: You may have to click several times on this button

  • After that, you shall come back to the application main screen.

Back to the console, you shall refresh the page to see the new device:

Device successfully enrolled

As you can see, the new device is now enrolled and can be managed using the “Home” profile, since it is a managed device.

Hint: At this moment for the first use and since this DoHzel instance has not yet been used to filter traffic, please note that: * The device has no icon; * The device type is temporarily seen as „Web browser“. This case only happens when doing the enrollment of a proxy using a Web browser and the Rebound URL. * This will be corrected once the device is in use.
