Prerequisites for Provisioning an Application Using Afaria

Verify that these prerequisites for provisioning an application using Afaria are completed by administrators or application developers.

1. Verify that the application developer includes API calls in the application to retrieve the provisioning data and certificate, and design the application user interface to prompt the user for any missing configuration information.
   Note: For the Hybrid Apps, the certificate is retrieved through an API, but the provisioning file is automatically retrieved from Afaria or from a local file.

   See these topics in the appropriate Developer Guide for your application type.

   • Using Afaria to Provision Configuration Data
   • Using Certificates from Afaria for Authentication
2. Developers must share the application ID and required package names used in the configuration file with the administrator so applications can later be activated.
3. Verify that the administrator has configured a Certificate Authority server for use with the Afaria portal package, and has created the public and private keys, and configuration parameters.
