Adding a certificate to the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP)

The Add Certificate option in the Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) workflow provides steps on how to add a certificate and include that certificate in the DEP profile.

1. From the IBM MaaS360 Portal home page, select Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) > Certificates, and click Add Certificate from the Certificates page.
   You can also add a certificate at Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) > Certificates > Add Certificate from the DEP page.
   The Add Certificate window is displayed.

   
2. Enter the certificate name and upload the certificate.
   The PKCS1 certificate files support CER and CRT file types.
3. Click Add.
4. Complete the security check by entering the administrator password for authentication, choose from the options that are available for remembering your credentials, and click Confirm.
   Alternatively, you can also generate a certificate by using the Apple Configurator from a macOS device. From the Apple Configurator, go to Preferences > Organizations, create an organization, and then go to Export Supervision to save the *.crt certificate file that is generated. To retrieve the *.cer certificate file format, go to Key Chain Access, and right-click the certificate that you want to download for the *.cer file.

   Note: If you are using pairing certificates to pair iOS devices, you must connect the iOS device to the macOS device where the administrator generated the certificate file. Start the Apple Configurator to begin pairing the devices. This action is a one time activity that is used for device pairing with the Apple Configurator.
