Deploy Lightspeed Smart Filter on iOS and iPadOS

What this profile does

Use this recipe to create the supervised Apple Web Content Filter profile required by Lightspeed Smart Filter on managed iPhone and iPad devices. Obtain the customer-specific value from Lightspeed before building the profile.

Requirements

• FileWave Central or FileWave Anywhere with permission to create and deploy profiles

• Supervised iPhone or iPad test devices

• The Lightspeed customer ID and username format for your environment

If a Central-created profile changes the identifier or fails to deploy: recreate the Web Content Filter in FileWave Anywhere, then test it again. Check FileWave Known Issues for the current status before treating this workaround as required.

Create and deploy the profile

1. Open FileWave Central or FileWave Anywhere.

2. Create a new mobile Fileset.

3. Select Profile.

4. Enter the name of the Profile, i.e. Lightspeed Filter

5. Select Web Content Filter (Supervised Only) payload

6. Select and enter the following:

   1. Filter Type: Plug-in

   2. Filter Name: Lightspeed Filter

   3. Identifier: com.lightspeedsystems.iosrelayfilter

   4. User Name: %auth_username%@your.domain.org or %email%

   5. Filter Webkit Traffic: enable

   6. Filter Socket Traffic: enable

   7. Custom Data:

      • Key: UDID - Type: String - Value: %device_id%

      • Key: customerID - Type: String - Value: your_lightspeed_ID

        

7. Click Save

8. Create a Deployment to one or two supervised test devices.

9. Update Model

Verify before expanding the Deployment. Confirm that web filtering works on the test devices and that they still communicate with FileWave. Then expand the Deployment to the intended group.
