As an admin, you can configure the settings on the Peer Distribution Adaptiva settings page to help set up your peer distribution system and to avoid configuration issues, review the network behaviors, the types of communication, the communication channels between components, and license management.

What can you do with the Peer Distribution Adaptiva Settings Page?

The path to the settings page on the UEM console is Groups & Settings > All Settings > System > Enterprise Integration > Peer Distribution > Adaptiva.

The Peer Distribution Software Setup settings page is used to download and configure the peer-to-peer server. Workspace ONE UEM partners with Adaptiva to offer an alternative peer distribution system. In the Adaptiva peer distribution system, installation begins with a specific device in the office or subnet called the rendezvous point (RVP). This initial download takes time. However, installation times improve because devices are not taxing the storage system or the line of communication for the application package. Instead, devices receive the package from other devices in the network. The system also monitors the network for traffic. If the network is busy, installations pause until the network availability increases.

Determine your Organization group hierarchy

Before you review and modify the settings, understand the two types of inheritance/override options for the organization group hierarchy available at the top and bottom of the settings page and determine your choice. For more information about these settings, see Override Versus Inherit Setting for Organization Groups.
  • Current Setting - Select whether to Inherit or Override the displayed settings. Inherit means use the settings of the current organization group's parent OG, while Override enables the settings for editing so you can modify the current OG's settings directly.
  • Child Permission - Select the available behavior of child organization groups that exist below the currently selected organization group. Inherit only means child OGs are only allowed to inherit these settings. Override only means they override the settings, and Inherit or Override means you can choose to inherit or override settings in child OGs that exist below the currently selected OG.

Adaptiva Peer Distribution Software Setup

The following table lists the Adaptiva Peer Distribution Software Setup settings.

Settings Description
Server Name/IP Enter the server name or IP address of the Adaptiva server.

If you put the server on the same machine as the VMware Enterprise Systems Connector, use that name or IP address.
Certificate Enable this feature to configure a secure mutual authentication between AirWatch Cloud Connector and Adaptiva Server.

On enabling this setting, you can upload Adaptiva Public Certificate to the Workspace ONE UEM console.

There are benefits to this setting:

  • AirWatch Cloud Connector and Adaptiva Server can make sure that they are talking to a legit service.
  • Achieve Transport Layer Security (TLS) between AirWatch Cloud Connector and Adaptiva Server.
  • Child Permission – Select the available behavior of child organization groups that exist below the currently selected organization group. Inherit only means child OGs are only allowed to inherit these settings. Override only means they override the settings, and Inherit or Override means you can choose to inherit or override settings in child OGs that exist below the currently selected OG.
