Enrolling Jamf Pro into Apple Deployment Programs

Enrollment is the process of adding computers and mobile devices to Jamf Pro. This establishes a connection between the computers and mobile devices and the Jamf Pro server.

ADE settings allow you to integrate Jamf Pro with ADE (formerly DEP). This is the first step to enrolling a device with Jamf Pro using a PreStage enrollment. After Jamf Pro is integrated with ADE, you can use Jamf Pro to configure enrollment and device setup settings. You can also use the ADE settings to renew an ADE  instance.

To integrate Jamf Pro with ADE, we need to do the following:

  1. Download a public key (.pem) from Jamf Pro.
  2. Obtain a server token file (.p7m) from Apple Business Manager.
  3. Upload the server token file to Jamf Pro to configure an Automated Device Enrollment instance.

Jamf Pro automatically refreshes information every two minutes in the Automated Device Enrollment instance. If information in Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager is updated, this information is displayed in Jamf Pro.

Step 1: Download a public key (.pem) from Jamf Pro:

In Order to obtain the server token file from Apple, you need to download a public key from Jamf Pro.

  1. Log in to Jamf Pro.
  2. In the top-right corner of the page, click Settings  .
  3. Click Global Management.
  4. Click Automated Device Enrollment  .
  5. Click Public Key to download the public key.
