Integrating with DEP
Integrating with DEP allows the JSS to work together with Apple’s DEP. This allows you to preconfigure the device enrollment process and customize the user setup experience without needing to remove the devices from their original wrapping.
To integrate with DEP, you need to upload the server token file (.p7m) you received from Apple. (For information, see the Integrating with Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP) Knowledge Base article.) This process creates one instance of DEP in the JSS. To meet the needs of your organization, you can repeat the process to create multiple instances of DEP.
