Active Directory Certificate MDM payload settings for Apple devices
You can use Active Directory Certificate settings for Mac computers enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Use the Active Directory Certificate payload to set authentication information for Active Directory Certificate servers. Active Directory Certificate servers bind a user identity or device to a private key that is stored in a directory server. This payload lets the device or user use the stored key for service encryption and authentication. To bind a Mac to Active Directory, see the Directory Service payload.
The Active Directory Certificate payload supports the following. For more information, see Payload information.
Supported payload identifier: com.apple.ADCertificate.managed
Supported operating systems and channels: macOS device, macOS user.
Supported enrolment types: User Enrolment, Device Enrolment, Automated Device Enrolment.
Duplicates allowed: True — more than one Active Directory Certificate payload can be delivered to a user or device.
You can use the settings in the table below with the Active Directory Certificate payload.
Setting | Description | Required | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Description | The description of the certificate request. | Yes | |||||||||
Certificate hostname | The IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the certificate server. | Yes | |||||||||
Certificate authority | The name of the certificate authority (the common name or CN attribute value of the directory entry at “CN=<your CA>,CN=Certification Authorities,CN=Public Key Services,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,<your base DN>”) | Yes | |||||||||
Certificate template | The name of the template. | Yes | |||||||||
Certificate expiration notification thread | The number of days before the certificate expires at which to begin showing the expiration notification. | Yes | |||||||||
RSA key size | The key size for the certificate signing request. | Yes | |||||||||
Prompt for credentials | You can prompt users to enter their credentials. | No | |||||||||
Account username and password | The username and password credentials (optional for users and groups, unnecessary for devices and device groups). | No | |||||||||
Allow access to all apps | By default, only selected processes, such as Wi-Fi and VPN, can access this certificate. Enable this option to allow all apps to access this certificate. | No | |||||||||
Allow export from the Keychain | This allows the private key to be exported from the Keychain. | No | |||||||||
Enable auto-renewal | This allows the certificate to attempt an auto-renewal from the server. | No | |||||||||
Note: Each MDM vendor implements these settings differently. To learn how various Active Directory Certificate settings are applied to your devices and users, consult your MDM vendor’s documentation.
