JAMF – DEP and VPP Certificate Renewal

For the JAMF server we have yearly renewing certificates that connect our JAMF server to Apple’s servers for our hardware (DEP) and software (VPP) purchases.

Here is how I did this process in May 2017:

  • 1) Log into our JAMF server ( https://casper.williams.edu:8443 ) with a full admin account
  • 2) Navigate to Management SettingsGlobal SettingsDevice Enrollment Program
  • 3) Click on Public Key to download our JSS key to the local computer
  • 4

  • ) Sign into our Apple School Manager account at https://school.apple.com/ with our AppleID of: [email protected]
  • 5) Click on MDMUpload Key
  • 6) Once uploaded you should be able to click on Get Token to download the new token
  • 7) Go back to our JAMF ServerManagement SettingsGlobal SettingsDevice Enrollment Program
  • 8) Click on Williams JSS and then Edit
  • 9) Then Upload Server Token

Remain logged into our JAMF server to update the VPP Certificate:

  • 1) Log into the [email protected] AppleId at the website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/
  • 2) In the upper right corner click on [email protected] for a drop down menu, select Account Summary
  • 3) In the MDM section, click on Download Token
  • 4) While still logged into our JAMF Server navigate to Management
  • SettingsGlobal SettingsVPP Accounts

  • 5) Click on Williams VPP then Edit
  • 6) Finally click on “Renew Service Token” to upload the token you just downloaded from Apple

Phew. Done.
Log out of all accounts.
