Profiles

It is possible to configure profiles for the managed devices using the Profile Editor. In general, a profile is a collection of one or more payloads containing configurations.

The following payloads are supported by CapaInstaller:

  • Certificate Payload — This payload can be used to add a new certificate to the mobile device certificate store. The added certificate can then be used by the device for obtaining trust to a web service or other services.
  • Exchange Payload — This payload can be used to configure a mobile device so it can connect to the company Exchange server.
  • Passcode Payload — This payload can be used to enforce a passcode on the device. The payload doesn’t give the actual passcode but merely states the requirements that the user passcode must fulfill.
  • SCEP Payload — This payload can be used to enroll a certificate using the Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol
  • Web Clip Payload — This payload can be used to add a web clip/link at the device home screen. The web clip can be a shortcut for an internet homepage or similar
  • WiFi Advanced Payload — This payload can be used to configure a device to connect to a wireless access point with advanced authentication options.
  • WiFi Payload — This payload can be used to configure a mobile device so it can connect to one or more wireless access points.

If you need to configure a large number of devices or to provide lots of custom email settings, network settings, or certificates to a large number of devices, configuration profiles are an easy way to do it.

  • Active Directory Payload macOS — This payload can be used to join a macOS device to an Active Directory and configure the domain membership options.
  • Kernel Extension Policy macOS — This payload can be used to allow applications to run without user prompting
  • Restrictions Payload MacOS — This payload can be used to restrict access to certain features and capabilities of a macOS device. Some restrictions require that the device is Supervised and is marked with an asterisk.
