Create a certificate retrieval profile

  • To allow devices to trust LDAP certificate servers when they make secure connections, you might need to distribute CA certificates to devices. If necessary, create CA certificate profiles and assign them to user accounts, user groups, or device groups. For more information about CA certificates, see Sending CA certificates to devices and apps.
  • If you implement
    Kerberos
     authentication for S/MIME certificate retrieval, you must assign a single sign-on profile to the applicable users or user groups. For more information about single sign-on profiles, see Enable automatic authentication for iOS devices.
