Safely install MDM Certificate in MDM Server

I am new to server technology.I know how to obtain an Apple iOS MDM Certificate and to use Apple iOS MDM features, we must: 1. Join Apple’s iOS Developer Enterprise Program. 2. Enroll 3. Register the MDM application. Apple will issue an MDM certificate.

Now, I want to know how to safely install the Apple MDM certificate in our MDM server?

Is there any specific path in MDM Server where should we keep the certificate?

Edit: We are using Python/Django in server side.


An SSL Certificate in the case of the Apple MDM, has no confidentiality requirements/needs. In fact, it is better shared.

You'll just want to follow the documentation for the specific MDM you are using.

On the other hand, your private key associated with the public key in the SSL certificate will need protection. We can handle that as a separate question and go over security recommendations for your infrastructure.

To get better acquainted with public key cryptography and the use of digital certificates, consider reading:
