Certificate Preference

Applicable to:

  • macOS 10.12 through the most recently released version as supported by by Ivanti Neurons for MDM.

Identify a Certificate preference item in the user's keychain that references a Certificate payload included in the same profile.

This configuration is used to bind a certificate to either an email address or a URL. After you bind a certificate to an email address, the Mail app will use it for that email account. If an SSL Certificate for a website is not trusted, adding a Certificate preference will ensure that the browser does not prompt you with a warning message when you try to access the website.

The administrators must have a Certificate. For more information on adding and distributing a certificate, see Certificate configuration.
