To enable user images, the images must be hosted on a distribution point with an enabled web server.

  1. Download a server certificate from Jamf Pro using a certificate signing request.
  2. Set up the web server with a distribution point.
    For information about setting up a web server with a distribution point, see the following documentation:
  3. Ensure that web services are enabled for your web server.
    Note:

    Jamf recommends that you disable HTTP access and directory index browsing on the web server to ensure that the image files on the server are secure.

  4. Rename your image files so that they function with the variable you plan to use in the distribution point URL when you enable user images, and save your images on the distribution point.
    Best Practice:

    To ensure optimal display of user images, you need image files that are in PNG format and are 256x256 pixels.

  5. In Jamf Pro, click Settings in the sidebar.
  6. In the Global section, click Apple education support .
  7. Click Download to download the CA certificate.
  8. Save the certificate in the location dictated by your web server.
  9. Enable client authentication.
    For information about enabling client authentication, see the following documentation:
  10. (Optional) If you need to establish trust between the devices and the web server, deploy a server certificate to devices with a configuration profile.

You are now ready to enable user images as a part of Apple education support.
