The AppConfig generator is an easy way to create your managed plist files using a GUI instead of writing the XML by hand. While this tool is provided by JAMF, it creates standard plist files that should work with most MDM providers.
Using the generator is simple:
- Download and unzip this specfile, you can also see the contents and copy/paste from MDM Spec File.
- Upload it to the AppConfig generator
- Select "Configure"
- Change settings to match your needs.
Note: When specifying thecamera_exposurevalue, do not include a leading 0. - Submit the form and download/copy your plist.
Note: This tool will generate a plist that includes values for all checkin options. If you want to allow some options to be user-configurable, you will need to open the generated plist file in a text editor and delete values you don't want to set.
The AppConfig generator will create a full plist file, but Mosyle only wants the configuration dictionary. You will need to either use the button for "Copy Dictionary" or manually copy the correct part of the file. You only want this part:
