Setup
Android Management setup
To manage Android devices with Cerberus Enterprise, you must first connect your organization to Google Android Enterprise.
The setup process usually takes a few minutes and requires a work email address (for example, name@enterprise.com).
What happens during setup
- You will be redirected to Google Android Enterprise.
- You sign in with your work email address.
- Google creates the Android Management account for your organization.
- You are redirected back to Cerberus Enterprise to complete the setup.
Important information
Make sure to use a work email address, not a personal Gmail account. This email is used to create your Google Admin account for Android Management.
Next steps
After completing the setup, create an Enrollment token and choose the appropriate provisioning method for the device.
Apple Management setup (APNs)
To manage Apple devices, Cerberus Enterprise requires the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) certificate.
Use the Apple ID associated with your organization. The APNs certificate is valid for one year and must be renewed annually to continue managing devices.
Step 1: Download the CSR file
In the dashboard, start the Apple Management setup and download the Vendor-Signed Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file generated by Cerberus Enterprise.
Step 2: Create the Push Certificate on the Apple portal
- Sign in to the Apple Push Certificates Portal with your Apple ID.
- Click "Create a Certificate".
- Upload the CSR file from Step 1.
- Download the created Push Certificate.

Step 3: Upload the Push Certificate
Upload the Push Certificate you downloaded from Apple back into Cerberus Enterprise to complete the setup.
If the APNs certificate expires, Apple device management will stop working until the certificate is renewed.
Next steps
After APNs is configured, you can proceed with Apple device enrollment. Continue with Apple provisioning overview.
