Lock down iOS devices

[MischaB]

is there a way to remotely lock down a iOS devices with a different passcode??
or does apple not approve this in the mdm features???

this would be a great feature!!

If your device is in JSS/DEP there is a Lock Device button in JSS

I know about the lock device by management but the end user can open de device with there own user passcode. i want to change the code for a total lockdown with out wiping the device.

I hadn't tried it until you posted that. If they don't have a passcode on the device a swipe will unlock it also. So thats a feature.
Maybe this should be a feature request, like the lock on a OS X device.

You could also just clear the passcode and then do lock device with a new passcode.

@rhoward how do i lock the device with a new passcode??

[wdpickle]

I also do not see a way to "push" a new passcode, it deletes the old passcode just fine

There is a feature request under review:
https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/featureRequest.html?id=1049
this looks like it might be the answer

edit or https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/featureRequest.html?id=191 is the real answer

maybe a idea to make a simple (in-house) app with text that the ipad is locked, pushed them to the devices and then set them on single app modus with this app. (disable al buttons)

does any now a nice tutorial to make a simple (in-house) app????

This would be great for our teachers. They are always too slow to catch student's up to no good. By the time they have walked to the student, the student has closed all of the programs they weren't supposed to be on.

@jgwatson for your teachers use "Casper Focus" they see what the students are doing on the devices and expose the student on the Apple TV when the are messing around ;-)

[jgwatson]

Casper Focus is too hard to configure for us (AKA me) at this time. We have a rolling block tumbling schedule. But thanks for the suggestion.

@jgwatson i have made simple universal app, tested this and it works great. (for work around)
if you want i can send you the xcode project.

[jgwatson]

That would be great. Yes please.
