  1. Support account-driven user enrollment

    Initially announced at WWDC21 [1], macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices starting with iOS15 and macOS Monterey support a workflow called account-driven user enrollment [2]. This workflow differs from the existing user enrollment methodology in that it uses a slightly different protocol and requires the implementation of a session token on the MDM provider side.

    We are interested in the account-driven workflow because it removes the need to distribute enrollment profiles or have users visit an enrollment URL and download / install the profile. The improved UX, when combined with this year's promised release of federated authentication to more providers in…

  5. Respect local time zone of iOS devices when applying a software update window

    Currently, the software update window is a singular entity, which means some units in Europe would be updating in the middle of the day for units in the USA. Implementing a method to either auto-detect local time of the units or specify a time zone in the profile would help solve this.

  6. API support for enabling/disabling Bluetooth of an iOS device

    I have an automated process to configure enrolled devices using SimpleMDM API, and recently there is a need to enable/disable Bluetooth depending on the device groups, which is currently not available for the API.
    I understand that I can use the restrictions profile to prevent supervised devices from changing Bluetooth settings, and I can enable/disable BT from the Devices page, but it would be great if SimpleMDM can add this ability to the API, so I can integrate it into my automated process.

  7. Report on Rapid Security Response versions

    Apple is adding a new update type to macOS called Rapid Security Responses. These updates change the build version, but not the OS version reported. Instead, the new ProductVersionExtra (sw_vers) and SupplementalOSVersionExtra (MDM query) keys are returned to denote a specific supplemental version only when a RSR is installed. If no RSR is installed the key is not present. Similarly, when using MDM query (simulated with /usr/libexec/mdmclient QueryDeviceInformation) BuildVersion is unchanged, but SupplementalBuildVersion has the correct RSR build.

    $ sw_vers
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 13.3
ProductVersionExtra: (a)
BuildVersion: 22E7752300f

    $ /usr/libexec/mdmclient QueryDeviceInformation
{
  BuildVersion = 22E5230e;
  OSVersion = "13.3";

  8. Add "Run Script" option to Actions menu

    A “Run Script” option in the Actions menu on both individual devices and any selected devices from a listing would be very helpful. Ideally, clicking it would pop you into the create job UI and pre-populate the “Run on” field with either that one device or any selected devices. This would speed up creating script jobs especially for multiple machines.

  9. Support more API profile query strings

    To get information about a custom profile through the API the only option is to list them all and then filter out the required data.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#custom-configuration-profiles

    On a SimpleMDM instance with 100+ profiles, requesting a single page of profiles takes a very long time.

    curl https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/custom_configuration_profiles?limit=100 \
  -u ${API_KEY}:

    Running the above command takes around 20-30 seconds. However, if there were URL parameters available to map to profile attributes - ID, name, identifier, etc. - the API could return only the one or subset of profiles requested, in turn improving performance. It shouldn't take 30 seconds to return data about…

    A "Removable" checkbox option has been added to the System Extensions profile UI to mark each extension as removable (or not). Default state is not removable.

  11. Support for Munki installer_type "nopkg"

    Munki has a pkginfo key for the installer type "nopkg". In a self-hosted Munki environment, this allows pkginfo files to be added to a repository that do not have an associated .pkg or .dmg file. You can read the Munki Project docs on the feature here: https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/nopkgs

    This has a variety of uses, because it allows Munki to be used as a general script execution tool. An admin can use any of Munki's installation conditions (package receipt, installs array, installcheck_script, or OnDemand) to then run a pre or postinstall script embedded in the pkginfo.

    One example of how this is…

  13. Profiles API - add upload/create custom profile method

    The profiles API endpoint doesn't have a method of uploading a custom configuration profile. This means it is not possible to create custom profiles and upload them to SimpleMDM, and then automatically create device group relationships and or assigning scopes to those custom profiles.

    An example where this would be useful is where profiles are managed within a git repo and pushed to SimpleMDM via automated workflows when these profiles are updated with new payloads.

    This upload/create method should also include settings for creating an assignment scope (for example, setting the OS type the profile can be applied to, the…

  18. Update multiple custom attributes via API

    Currently only one custom attribute can be updated per API call either for a single device or device group.

    https://api.simplemdm.com/#set-value-for-device
    https://api.simplemdm.com/#set-value-for-group

    Say I want to set multiple custom attributes within a single workflow. I need to make as many API calls as there are attributes to update. In my recent work that's four calls which could've been one. This also simplifies developing with the API - don't have to iterate through values along with grokking associated return statuses.

    I'm requesting the functionality to update multiple custom attributes with one API call.

    PUT https://a.simplemdm.com/api/v1/devices/{DEVICE_ID}/custom_attribute_values

    Remove attribute name from endpoint URL and…

  20. Implement Apple Kerberos SSO Extension as a profile

    This is a great tool to sync AD password to the local one. It is somewhat easy to get this done as a custom plist profile. I used the settings from Kandji MDM as reference, a guide from JAMF on how to deploy the Kerberos Extension and Imazing.com profile manager to create the plist file. Imported the custom profile in SimpleMDM, applied to Pilot group and it worked just like intended. This was easy, but it should be made standard.

    A sample plist file is available from https://github.com/ProfileCreator/ProfileManifests/issues/556
