Configuration<br />

Creating and Distributing iOS<br />

Configuration Profiles<br />

iOS configuration profiles are XML files (.mobileconfig) that define groups of settings for enrolled mobile<br />

devices. The <strong>JAMF</strong> <strong>Software</strong> Server (JSS) allows you to create configuration profiles using an interface<br />

similar to Apple’s iPhone Configuration Utility (iPCU) and Profile Manager.<br />

When you are done creating the profile, you can distribute it wirelessly by choosing a distribution method<br />

and assigning devices to the scope.<br />

Note: Some payloads and settings available in iPCU and Profile Manager cannot be configured with the<br />

JSS.<br />

Before creating a configuration profile, you should have basic knowledge of configuration profile payloads<br />

and settings and how they affect devices. Most payloads and settings are explained in Apple’s iPCU<br />

documentation, available at:<br />

https://help.apple.com/iosdeployment-ipcu/#<br />

Some configuration profile settings can only be configured using the JSS. For more information on these<br />

settings, see the following Knowledge Base article:<br />

https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/article.html?id=217<br />

To create and distribute an iOS configuration profile using the JSS:<br />

1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.<br />

2. Click the Management tab.<br />

3. Click the Mobile Device Profiles link.<br />

4. Click the Add Profile button.<br />
