FB9895426 (Apple Device MDM enrolment fails if client certificate is requested during SSL Handshake) Device enrolment fails in an MDM Server configured with client certificate authentication. Upon investigating the issue, we noticed that the device drops the SSL handshake if a client certificate is requested during the handshake. Wireshark Screenshot: From the console logs, we noticed the below error: <MCHTTPRequestor: 0x283b560a0> cannot accept the authentication method NSURLAuthenticationMethodClientCertificate The TLS protocol states that "If no suitable certificate is available, the client SHOULD send a certificate message containing no certificates.". Thus, we expect the MDM client to respond with a "no certificate" response during the SSL handshake. Someone has already raised the same question but there's no reply yet: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/680328 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/676579 Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We recently noticed that, In the TokenUpdate message from a MDM enrolled device, the PushMagic value is empty. The response from device is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>MessageType</key> <string>TokenUpdate</string> <key>PushMagic</key> <string></string> <key>Token</key> <string>[redacted]</string> <key>Topic</key> <string>[redacted]</string> <key>UDID</key> <string>[redacted]</string> </dict> </plist> This is a MacBookPro9,2 with OS version 10.8.5. We would like to understand whether this is an issue. Or how to handle this.

We are experiencing issues on MDM enrolled devices where the SSL certificates are not trusted after the OS update. We use EnterpriseCA certificate in our server and pushed to devices during enrolment. But after OS update, the CA is missing from the ‘Certificate Trust settings’ in the device, but present under MDM profile. This make the devices to stop communicating with the server. For now we have manually installed the certificate on the devices and enabled full trust. But this involves user intervention and also end user can disable full trust anytime as the option is not greyed out, or remove the certificate from device. We would like to know if there is any other option to push the certificates without user intervention. And also the best practices to avoid this in future. Already we have seen this https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT212962 but it talks only about the Identity certificate. We would like to understand whether SSL certificates are also included in this.

We are trying to push a WiFi mobile config to a fleet of devices. Before mass deployment, we tried manually installing the WiFi mobile config in one Mac device. During manual profile installation It asks for a username-password. (Please see the image) I just click Install without providing anything. The device auto-joins with the WiFi, without asking for username and password We then pushed the same exact mobile config file via a MDM solution, and the profile installs fine. But the device doesn't auto-join the WiFi, and when I choose the WiFi network, it asks for a username and password, even though I have configured SystemModeCredentialsSource to be ActiveDirectory We have double-checked that there're no changes made to mobile config when deployed via MDM.

Any help would be appreciated. Please free feel to ask for more details if needed. Thanks in advance.

I have an issue where app store app deployed to devices in MDM with App lock policy profile is not updating when the update is pushed from MDM. Instruction: Enroll the device(AppleTVs) in MDM, then apply App Lock profile with any one app store app to the device. After profile is applied successfully and the app is installed, try to push an update for the app from MDM to the device Expected Result: The app must be updated to the newer version. Actual Result: The app doesn't update in the device.

Hi, We recently noticed that the following Macbook models have the same Model Identifier: MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) Model Identifier: MacBookAir7,2. Source It causes a little confusion to know what model a device is. Is there any other key available in MDM's DeviceInformation to distinguish different Macbook models? Thanks in advance.

We are unable to find a key in the MDM's Device information query response that tells us whether a mac uses T1 or T2 security chip. Is there a way to deduce this with the device information response we are already receiving? Thank you.

Apple had deprecated some of the payload keys device management Profile Specific Payload instead they are given new keys for it blacklistedAppBundleIDs is deprecated and blockedAppBundleIDs added Apple Developer Doc Are deprecated and new keys are working on the upcoming iOS, iPadOS & Mac.?
