If you manage multiple organizations in your Addigy environment, assigning a dedicated Apple Push Notification service (APNs) Certificate to each policy keeps you in compliance with Apple's MDM Terms of Service, which requires every managed organization to have its own APNs Certificate.
Overview
You can upload and manage multiple APNs Certificates, then assign each one to a policy via that policy's MDM Enrollment Profile.
Note: An MDM Enrollment Profile set up in a parent policy is inherited by all of that policy's child and grandchild policies.
Prerequisites
How to Set Up the MDM Enrollment Profile
- From the Policies page, select a policy and click the Integrations & Settings section.
- Click the MDM Enrollment Profile section.
- Select an APNs Certificate from the dropdown list.
- Enter a Display Name, Company Name, and Description for the profile.
Note: These fields are visible to end users in System Preferences/System Settings (macOS) and Settings (iOS) once the profile is installed. - Click Save Changes.
New devices that enroll in Addigy MDM via this policy will use the APNs Certificate you assigned to it. You can repeat this process to assign different APNs Certificates to different policies.
Important Notes
- Apple emails the address used to create the MDM Certificate when 30, 7, and 1 day remain before it expires. See APN Certificates and Apple Business/School Manager Notifications.
- Assigning a new push certificate to a policy does not affect devices already enrolled under it. To move existing devices to a new certificate, follow FAQ: My Push Certificate Expired.
