Complete list of settings in Profile Manager

Hi!
I'm looking for a complete list of the settings available in the Profile Manager for iOS devices.
Restrictions
Push Apps
Push books and PDF's
Passcode policy
etc. etc.
So, is there a list out there with all the settings and features of Profile Manager with iOS?
Thanks!

Apple has a good developer page on most of the payloads:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iphoneconfigurationprof ileref/introduction/introduction.html
Sadly, Apple does not provide many examples nor a clear explanation of the management levels.  But this is a great reference and now it includes OS X payloads, despite the URL name.  Sadly, not all profiles are listed yet but Apple seems to be revising the document.

  • How to deploy settings in Profile Manager through Device Groups

    When I go to the Profile Manager web page and create a device group and configure the payload settings it doesn't seem to send the profile settings to the Mac devices that are in the group. How do I go about getting this to work so when I get a new device that is enrolled all I have to do is throw it in the group so it will automatically push out the correct payload settings that I configured?

    What you're asking should work.  You should be able to create a Device Group and adjust the setting for that group.  Then when you add a device to that group, the settings will be pushed to the device automatically.  So, it leaves me with a few questions for you:
    Why don't you think it sends the payload?  When you look under "Activity" do you see tasks in the "Active" area or in the "Completed" area... or something else?
    What are you trying to change?  Setting up email accounts on iPhones will appear right away, but there are other changes (especially on computers) that don't take affect until it restarts (or the user at least logs out and back in).
    Are you sure you have devices in your device group?  Sorry, probably a really silly question, but under your device group, do you see the devices under the "Members" section?
    Are your devices "trusting" your server?  Did you add the trust profile to the device when you enrolled it? 
    Sorry I can't be more help... but I can tell you that you can do what you are asking.  We have it set up in our office, and it works really well.  We just add the new device to the device group and it does the rest.

  • Is there an easier/more-automated way to create user settings in Profile Manager?

    I'm setting up a Mavericks Server and am setting up the settings for each user within the Profile Manager. I'm finding somewhat tedious to have to enter all of the server and account information per service per user. Seeing that it knows the details of the server it's running on – and the user for whom I'm setting up the profiles, is there no automatic way to produce a settings bundle for each user? At the very least, the server hostname and username should be prefilled.

    What settings are you setting in the profiles? You can set a general setting that is available to all users, and also create various device configurations and add devices to them. I personally have not found much use for user specific profiles within profile management.   

  • Messages Settings in Profile Manager 2.1 Mountain Lion

    Just want to let anyone and everyone know about something that I've found in Profile Manager.
    I have been messing about with Messages, trying to get it set up without any success but I have found something that could be useful to anyone else in the same situation.
    When applying messages settings to a Profile it seems to spoil all other settings, or at least Dock settings.
    I set up my Dock and other settings for a group and all was fine. I then added the messages settings to the group and all of the Dock settings were removed leaving just Finder and the Trash Can in the dock.
    Removing the Messages setting restored the previous Dock settings and everything is back to normal. Perhaps I am doing something wrong but this seems to be a bit of a bug with Profile Manager.
    On a side note, I'd really appreciate some help with setting Messages up. I work in a school where it would be great if the teachers could use Messages as instant messaging between classrooms.

    Did you ever get this resolved? This error is usually related to DNS, hostname, or Open Directory configuration. Let me know if you still need help.

  • Is it possible Messages Settings break Profile Manager?

    I've recently been playing about with the Messages app in ML and ML server.
    I've got everything working manually, as in going to each machine, logging in as the user and adding their credentials to the Messages app.
    I'm trying to automate this using profile manager, I've done simialr for Mail settings but the profile never succeeds. Always fails.
    Removing the Messages component from the Profile makes everything work again.
    Is this possible? I don't see how it could be any of the information that I am typing in the boxes that breaks it, I've been using %short_name% for the use names, this works for the Mail settings, could this be breaking it?

    Hi,
    Partner profile setting are actually soft configuration and you cannot transport them.
    You have to set partner profile in all stages.

  • Early on while configuring the Device Management settings in Profile Manager (Mavericks server) I received an error code -1

    When I started up the Server application, Profile Manager was not selected as expected.  I selected it and started the first step of configuring Device Management in the Settings section.  I entered the organization information and went on to the next step which was to Configure an SSL Certificate
    I selected a "Self Signed" Cert.  Which was the only one of the two choices that made sense.  The other being the, com.deploystudio.server - Self signed
    Hit next and it processed the info and went to "Finish"  I click "Finish" and this is what I get when the setting are confirmed.
    I stopped there since I suspect this error will probably come back to haunt me further down the line as if you recall we could not get the Profile to install due to the invalid cert which I suspect has something to do with this code -1 error at the get go.  I ran the one command line instruction twice to verify this was not a quirk and the same occurred.
    sudo /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh

  • IPSEC VPN Settings via Profile Manager

    It is not possible to set the following lines via GUI in Apples ProfileManager or via Apple Configurator in the IPSec section:
    <key>XAuthPassword</key>
    <string>myVPNuserPassword</string>
    You can set the lines via GUI in the old iPhone Configuration Program on Windows.
    If you can't set the "XAuthPassword", you have to type in the password every time you want to establish the VPN.
    We use certificates for device authentication.
    Anyone a solution ?

    Yes, there are two possible solutions.
    1. As per my article here http://jelockwood.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/how-to-do-vpn-on-demand-for-ios-at-zero .html you would use a StrongSwan VPN server and as per my article use the xauth-noauth plugin to prevent it asking for a username and password, it will then only use the client certificate for device authentication.
    2. You can use the two keys listed above but you will have to manually edit the mobileconfig file and add them. Therefore you cannot use Profile Manager or Apple Configurator. For this I used iPhone Configuration Utility to create the initial mobileconfig file, and then I used TextWrangler to add the two keys. With a manually produced mobileconfig file I do not believe there is anyway to send it via Profile Manager but you can either email it to the device or make it available via a web server. Other MDM solutions than Profile Manager do allow pushing uploaded mobileconfig files, I used Meraki Systems Manager and pushed my hand edited mobileconfig files 'over the air' to the devices.
    It should be noted that if you are authenticating usernames and password against a directory server e.g. Active-Directory, Open Directory or LDAP, then if you enforce password ageing and changes you are going to have to hand edit and resend an updated mobileconfig file with the new password in it. This is why I chose option 1 above for my own situation. It is in theory less secure as it only uses a single basis for authentication - the certificate but I felt this an acceptable trade-off.

  • Set advanced IMAP settings with profile manager?

    I've finally gotten profile manager working successfully so that my employees can enroll their iOS devices and laptops for easy setup of our company services. However, there are two advanced IMAP settings we need to manage that are not available in the Profile Manager controls.
    Is there a way to crack open a profile source and add in the keys for advanced IMAP settings? Specifically, i need to set "Remove Deleted Messages" to "Never" and assign an alternate mailbox for "Deleted Mailbox" under "Mailbox Behaviors"
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    While I was not at the time trying to do it via Profile Manager I did previously look at trying to enable Location Services via a script. Unfortunately I found it too hard or more accurately I failed to do this. I ended up 'cheating' by logging in on a test Mac, manually setting up Locations Services the way I wanted including most importantly setting the Security & Privacy settings to allow a specific application to use Location Services. I then saved a copy of the relevant configuration file which is -
    /private/var/db/locationd/clients.plist
    I then as part of my DeployStudio workflow to image fresh computers included a step to copy this to the correct location on the fresh computer, thereby 'restoring' the settings.
    So the short answer is that /private/var/db/locationd/clients.plist is the file but the structure is such that a simple defaults write is not possible.
    Let me know if you get anywhere with this.

  • Configuration Profile Custom Settings in Profile Manager

    Hi All,
    I'm a newbie when it comes to OS X configuration profiles. Does anyone have any resources on customizing or editing configuration profiles?
    I've been playing around with Profile Manager for a few days and see the "Custom Settings" tab. I'm curious what kind of things I can customize here. Being a newbie I don't know where to start.... If anyone has any documentation or link to online resource or book recommendation on editing mobileconfig files or creating custom settings with payloads in Profile Manager I'd really appreciate it!! There are a lot of tweeks that I'd like to set on our computers and I'd like to see if I can do these tweeks with configuration profiles.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Managed App Configuration using Profile Manager

    Hello,
    We're using Profile Manager as the MDM server of our iPads. Everything works fine except that recently we want to manage some app configurations through MDM, but were unable to find the Managed App Configuration settings from Profile Manager.
    May I know if Profile Manager supports Managed App Configuration for iOS?
    Thanks,
    Jacky

    We are not running it yet but I am believe that when you setup a user in airwatch or another MDM and you install the agent on a device the user has to authenticate with AD creds, so then you can configure it to pull a cert from your SCEP server using those creds and it will then pull a user cert. instead of a generic certificate. Obviously that is a pretty dumbed down explination but in a nutshell that is how it is going to work.

  • Profile Manager HTTP Proxy

    Hi there
    Can someone please tell how to configure a HTTP proxy using Profile Manager to the schools OS X 10.9 iMacs. This would be for Ethernet, not WIFI which I know you can setup/push. There is not any settings in profile manager. I can only see custom settings, which I have no idea how to do.
    Many thanks in advanced!

  • Difference between Profile Manager in Server v2.2 and Workgroup Manager - Mobility

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if anybody experienced mobility management with Profile Manager in Server v2.2 ? It is known that mobility management in Profile Manager is broken in previous versions of Server:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3637378?start=0&tstart=0
    Does anybody know if mobility management has been fixed ?
    Thanks for your help. Best regards.

    I'd also like to know an answer to this. I'm managing a small network and don't have a test environment to stage things in. (This is needed as Profile Manager is WAY too unstable to production.)
    I'm currently using WGM to look after Mobility settings and Profile Manager for everything else. I used this setup after I got the same reply as per thread 3637378. It would be nice to have the settings all in once place!

  • Setting apn with Profile Manager

    apn profiles in Profile Manager seemes malformed.
    This is a snippet of how it looks when downloaded from Profile Manager:
    <dict>
              <key>DefaultsData</key>
              <dict>
                        <key>apns</key>
                        <array>
                                  <dict>
                                            <key>apn</key>
                                            <string>mytestapn</string>
                                            <key>proxy</key>
                                            <string></string>
                                            <key>proxyPort</key>
                                            <string></string>
                                  </dict>
                        </array>
              </dict>
    </dict>
    <dict>
              <key>DefaultsDomainName</key>
              <string>com.apple.managedCarrier</string>
    </dict>
    when I create a .mobileconfig file with IPCU, the xml looks like this:
    <dict>
              <key>DefaultsData</key>
              <dict>
                        <key>apns</key>
                        <array>
                                  <dict>
                                            <key>apn</key>
                                            <string>mytestapn</string>
                                            <key>proxy</key>
                                            <string></string>
                                            <key>proxyPort</key>
                                            <integer></integer>
                                  </dict>
                        </array>
              </dict>
              <key>DefaultsDomainName</key>
              <string>com.apple.managedCarrier</string>
    </dict>
    that is, in profile Manager, DefaultsDomainName key is contained within its own dict tag, and in IPCU it is located together with the DefaultsData key.
    when I try to deploy the profile to a device using profile manager, the job failed with MCPayloadErrorDomain
    Has anyone had any luck on setting apn settings with Profile Manager?

    Just updated OSX - problem solved
