Use the Server app to start Profile Manager service and act as a mobile device management (MDM) service.
Open the Server app, log in to a server, then select Profile Manager in the Server app sidebar.
Click the On button.
The Profile Manager self-service portal is available using the arrow next to Visit User Portal.
To enable Profile Manager to act as a mobile device management service, click the Configure button next to Device Management.
To use mobile device management, the server must be an Open Directory master and have valid certificates for SSL and Apple Push Notification service. For more information, see Enable mobile device management.
To specify settings and assign them to users, devices, and groups, and to manage enrolled devices, click Open Profile Manager.
When Profile Manager opens in your web browser, log in with your administrator account.
If required, make sure your organization’s firewall allows Apple Push Notification service.
Push notification uses TCP ports 443, 2195, 2196, and 5223. The entire 17.0.0.0/8 address block is assigned to Apple, so it’s best to allow this range in your firewall settings.
If you’re unable to use Apple Push Notification service, see the Apple Support article “Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).”
