Configure InstituteAccessServers with macOS clients #534

Hi! I contacted your support about this already, and was adviced to create an issue here.

I was wondering if there is a way to configure InstituteAccessServers with macOS clients like it is possible with Windows clients?

Here are the Windows-clients instructions: https://codeberg.org/eduVPN/windows/src/branch/master/doc/Customization.md#instituteaccessservers-reg_multi_sz

I could not find anything related to this from the Apple clients github pages, the instructions/docs were mainly about building the app: https://github.com/eduvpn/apple

I can configure some things with configuration profiles, but i could not find any key related to this. I noticed that on macOS, there is added_servers.json (/Users/$USER/Library/Containers/org.eduvpn.app/Data/Library/Application\ Support/org.eduvpn.app/AddedServers/added_servers.json), that contains this information that the application saves after the first login to that VPN. The issue is i cannot prepopulate that information, cause it creates a “local_storage_path” with a guid that always changes. It does not work if i just create it with the “base_url” key.

And the Branding page has instructions for adding "predefinedProvider" (https://github.com/eduvpn/apple/blob/master/BRANDING.md). But when using this option, it only shows the one server that has been predefined, and you cannot see the list of servers anymore (only add by url).

Maybe if it would be possible to add a key via Configuration Profile (InstituteAccessServers - an array of strings?), where you could add urls, and those servers would show up as "defaults" when launching the application?
