Learn how to configure and leverage AppConfig
What is AppConfig?
App Config allows you to pre-configure App Store Apps (Apps and Books from Apple Business Manager) that are deployed via Kandji. App Config can be used to set application-specific options such as a default domain, an SSO provider, or other unique settings.
For example, the app Kiosk Pro can be configured via MDM to automatically open a default kiosk URL and set other application restrictions. An example of this config can be seen below.
<dict>
<key>settingsShowingOption</key>
<integer>2</integer>
<key>settingsPassCode</key>
<string>1234</string>
<key>autonomousSingleAppMode</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>kp_passCodeToExitAutonomousSingleAppMode</key>
<string>1234</string>
<key>homePage</key>
<string>kandji.io</string>
<string></string>
<key>showStatusBar</key>
<true></true>
<key>showAddressBar</key>
<true></true>
</dict>
Another popular example is the Okta Mobile app to enforce mobile device trust; an example of this config is displayed below.
<dict>
<key>managementHint</key>
<string>Okta generated token goes here</string>
</dict>
If you have specific questions about creating an AppConfig for your specific application, please reach out to the developer or Kandji support for assistance.
