Add more endpoints to SAML enrolments for full functionality
We are trying to implement our Azure B2C login for authentication into enrolments to help speed up onboarding new customers - we are an MSP.
When we set up SAML for access to the console, we can get it working fine; we can see and access the 'callback' and 'metadata' URL's ie.
https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/auth/saml/123456789123456789/callback
https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/auth/saml/123456789123456789/metadata - Azure B2C needs these address to function.But when we try to set this up for SAML enrolments, both the 'callback' and 'metadata' URL's aren't accessible for the new SAML Audience ie. https://a.simplemdm.com/device/enrollment/authentication/saml/987654321987654321.
Can this be enabled?

Add Office 365 as an account provider
In Device>Accounts>Add account Google is an option. It would be fantastic if Office 365 was an option as well. I'd love a streamlined way to deploy Office 365 credentials to apps such as Outlook, Excel, and Word at the same time, especially on iOS where users may not be familiar with app passwords.

Report on installed certificates
I'd like to see SimpleMDM report on installed certificates for all device types. A common feature in other MDMs, CertificateListCommand (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/certificatelistcommand) has been around since iOS 4 and macOS 10.7 (!).
While we have other tools to report on certificates (like osquery), it's useful to have MDM as a data source as well since oftentimes installed certificates originate via profiles. Knowing certificate health within the same product has benefits, and could allow for more advanced certificate management directly in SimpleMDM.
Important fields...
- Certificate name
- CA/issued by
- Expiration
- Current validity status
- If possible, whether…20 votes -
Allow setting device naming schemes per enrollment
We use the device naming template under Settings -> General. This works great for our macOS and iOS devices that come in through manual enrollment and ADE as our template contains the serial number attribute, but fails when User Enrolled devices are named because that attribute isn't available. It would be useful to allow us to set a different device naming scheme per enrollment, or at least to set a backup or some sort of logic should one of the attributes be null.

Location for macOS
Similar to how you push an app for iOS location, it would be nice to have a headless macOS app that did the same thing. Or perhaps a menu item of some sort.

Require latest minor version during enrollment
Ideally there should be a "latest minor version" option with the same logic as the Software Update profile when you enforce a minimum OS version during enrollment.
And a separately configured minimum major version would complement it nicely.

Enforce matching name and device_name fields
Note: Due to formatting, not including the _ underscore in device name. Everything was italics.
SimpleMDM has two name values for each device - "name" and "device name". "name" is the value used in the device list (https://a.simplemdm.com/admin/devices) and the header of a device record. "device name" is the actual hostname set locally. If the hostname changes on device, it will change in SimpleMDM on next inventory refresh. Similarly, "device name" can be edited manually in SimpleMDM and a MDM command will be issued to update it on device.
What if "device name" changes at any point…

Custom Attributes - Drop-down list with options
We are using few Custom Attributes that can have only some options (like kiosk app). Having drop-down list with options will be really nice.
Then it will allow us to set possible Attributes and help desk will just choice from drop-down list.
Thanks David

Organize Custom Apps the same as Shared Apps
Custom apps should behave the same way as Shared apps - allowing multiple versions to be uploaded and to have those versions displayed in a drop-down under a single app name under Assignment.
Ideally SimpleMDM’s logic for displaying the custom app would follow what’s already in place for shared apps (which is great btw) specifically:
• only 1 instance of the app is displayed in the Catalog by bundle ID or..?
• the ability to select a specific version of the app in the assignment group17 votes -
Add directory services integration (LDAP/Active Directory)
For enterprise, integration with directory services is essential. I need to be able to target machines and devices for actions and reporting based on an assigned active directory user and/or the user's groups.
This should include enrollment, targeting for policies, targeting for package deployment, etc.
I see there might be some initial work being done in the Configs -> Providers menu, but as is, it is not enough to configure LDAP.

Support network users
MDM protocol has an extension called "Network User Authentication" allowing MDM to manage network users in corporate or educational environment.
This is linked to what is sometime called shared devices or lab devices.
Main idea is to be able to target settings to users and not devices directly.
This mean users are provided by a central directory service (at this time it's LDAP like AD, OD or even custom LDAP, but don't forget that macOS might support something else too).
So MDM need to be able to sync with any kind of directory services and receive "UserAuthenticate" messages from managed…

Support SCIM provisioning and de-provisioning for admin accounts
SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) is a REST/JSON protocol defined in RFC 7644 that allows identity providers to direct service providers to make account create, update, and delete actions. It is generally used to pre-provision access for new accounts and de-provision access for accounts that no longer require it.
Please add support for SimpleMDM to work with the SCIM protocol for administrator accounts. A minimum implementation for our purposes would be to create administrator accounts using SCIM at the default permission level, and have the delete function revoke access on the given account. In a perfect world, the SCIM…

Enable alerts control in MacOS Notification Center for Managed Software Center
At the moment, in the Notification Center, notifications for the Managed Software Center are allowed by default and greyed out. It then doesn't give the choice of turning off these notifications for users that can be easily distracted by any sort of notification

Add option to flag device as stolen - alternate default group and email alerted when a specific SN enrolls
In a scenario when a device is stolen we can flag it as stolen in the SimpleMDM interface and have email alerts be sent to the SimpleMDM Admin's when that SN registers with the service. Additionally, it would be handy to have a separate default group for devices flagged as stolen so if the OS is reinstalled and the device re-enrolls it doesn't end up in the company's default group.

Profiles API - add/set attributes for OS type, min and max OS version, and Mac architecture
The current profiles API method to list all profiles doesn't return the scope data that is configured in the management console, and there are no means to set these attributes via API methods (per https://api.simplemdm.com/#profiles as at 2022-09-26).
Please update the list all and retrieve one methods to return this scope data.
Please also add a method to update existing profiles with values for this scope data.
The scope attributes specifically are:
- setting the OS type
- setting the minimum macOS version the profile can be installed on
- setting the maximum macOS version the profile can be installed…15 votes -

Self-service VPP Apps
Some of the apps we distribute from VPP do not need to be installed on all Macs, but should be available for a user to install on demand.
Welding together Managed Software Center and VPP could be tricky, but maybe there could be application stubs in MSC that trigger API calls to SimpleMDM to install a VPP app on the device.
