Active Directory Certificate device management payload settings for Apple devices
You can use Active Directory Certificate settings for users of a Mac enrolled in a device management service. 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 enrollment methods: User Enrollment, Device Enrollment, Automated Device Enrollment.
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 user name and password | The user name 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 device management service developer implements these settings differently. To learn how various Active Directory Certificate settings are applied to your devices and users, consult your developer’s device management service documentation.
