Configure Kandji API Token

Prepare API Token and store it in a secure location. You can read more about this in our Kandji API article. You can skip this section if you already have an API Token prepared.

1. Create or modify an existing API Token.
2. In your Kandji tenant, navigate to Settings > Access > API Tokens.
3. Create or modify the existing API Token to include all Automated Device Enrollment-related permissions.

Prepare Postman

For basic configuration, please follow our How to Set Up the Kandji API in Postman article. Most of the steps moving forward will be performed inside the Postman application on your device. You can skip this section if you already have Postman configured.

1. Check your Collection for the Automated Device Enrollment integrations folder.
2. If this folder is missing, go to api-docs.kandji.io, click the Run in Postman button, and follow the steps to import the new API version.
3. Define your API URL if undefined in the Kandji API folder at the top of the collection.
4. Define the API Token in your Environment variables following our How to Set Up the Kandji API in Postman article.

Configure Postman Environment Variables

Now that the basics of Postman have been configured, you will need to define some Environment Variables in Postman to keep track of the Automated Device Enrollment servers.

1. Follow the instructions in the Create Environment Variables section of our How to Set Up the Kandji API in Postman article.
2. If you already have environment variables configured, you can add the new items to the existing variables.
3. Select the Kandji API > Automated Device Enrollment Integrations > GET List ADE Integrations in the Collection.
4. Click the Send button.
   
5. In the Body section of the Results, you will copy the top-level IDs of each Automated Device Enrollment token.
6. For each of these IDs, you will create an environment variable with a naming scheme such as "ade_token_1" and increment the number at the end for each token.
7. Make a note of the associated server_name for each token. You will need this information when downloading the tokens from Apple Business Manager.
   
8. Paste the ID value for each token into the value for the machine "ade_token_#" variable.
9. You can set the variable type to secret so that the value of the variable is not visible.
   

Download ADE Tokens

1. Log in to your Apple Business Manager account.
2. Click on your profile in the bottom left and choose Preferences.
   
3. Click on the first MDM server that matches the first ADE token from the list you made earlier.
4. Click download token.
   
5. Repeat this process for each token that you will be renewing.
