Conguration proles
A conguration prole is an XML le you use to distribute conguration information to Apple
devices. Conguration proles automate the conguration of settings, accounts, restrictions,
and credentials. They can be installed through a mail message attachment, downloaded from a
webpage, or installed on iOS devices with Apple Congurator. If you need to congure a large
number of iOS devices, or just prefer a hands-o over-the-air deployment model, you can deliver
conguration proles through MDM.
Conguration proles that contain certicate and Wi-Fi payloads can also be installed on
Apple TV. For more information, see the Apple Support article How to install a conguration
prole on Apple TV.
Conguration proles can be encrypted and signed, which lets you restrict their use to a specic
Apple device and prevents anyone from changing the settings that the prole contains. An MDM
administrator can also mark a prole as being locked to the device, so once installed, it can be
removed only by wiping the device of all data or, optionally, by entering a password.
With the exception of passcodes, users can’t change the settings provided in a conguration
prole. Accounts that are congured by a prole, such as Exchange accounts, can be removed
only by deleting the prole.
For more information, see Conguration Prole Key Reference.
Mobile device management (MDM)
Overview
iOS and OS X support for MDM allows IT to securely congure and manage scaled Apple device
deployments across their organizations. To accomplish this, iOS and OS X have a built-in MDM
framework that lets third-party MDM solutions wirelessly interact with Apple devices. This
lightweight framework was designed for Apple devices, and is powerful and scalable enough to
congure and manage all the iOS, OS X, and Apple TV devices within an organization.
