Apple MDM Configuration Types
Apple configurations in CapaOne come in two kinds, each on its own tab under Apple → Configurations:
- Legacy — the original configuration profiles. They’re available until all configuration types have been moved to DDM.
- DDM — Declarative Device Management configurations. See DDM Configuration Types Reference.
This page lists the configuration types you can add to a Legacy configuration.
Create a legacy configuration
Section titled “Create a legacy configuration”-
Go to Apple → Configurations and click New.

Select Legacy.

In the list on the left, select the configuration types you want to add, and fill in their settings. Use Category or Configuration to search the list. A check mark shows which types the configuration uses, and an error icon shows a type with missing or invalid settings.

When a device has more than one configuration, priority decides which one applies. See Configuration Priority.
