AirPlay MDM payload settings for Apple devices
You can define AirPlay destinations for users of an iPhone, iPad, Shared iPad, or Mac enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. Use the AirPlay payload to preconfigure passwords for AirPlay Mirroring destinations and to list allowed destinations for the device.
The AirPlay payload supports the following. For more information, see Payload information.
Supported payload identifier: com.apple.airplay
Supported operating systems and channels: iOS, iPadOS, Shared iPad device, macOS device, macOS user.
Supported enrollment methods: User Enrollment, Device Enrollment, Automated Device Enrollment.
Duplicates allowed: True—more than one AirPlay payload can be delivered to a user or device.
If you are using Apple Configurator for Mac, you can add destinations found by Bonjour or other destinations that you know the name and password for. The Discoverable list shows all the destinations the computer with Apple Configurator can find using Bonjour. If the destination you want to save a password for is listed, select it and then enter the device password. If the destination you want to save a password for isn’t listed, select Undiscoverable and then enter the device name and password.
You can use the settings in the table below with the AirPlay payload.
Setting | Description | Required | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Passwords | Configure the device with passwords for password-protected AirPlay destinations that users can connect to. After you make the passwords part of the device, fewer people need to know them. | No | |||||||||
Approved list | Add the MAC addresses of destination devices in order to enable AirPlay with only those devices. If this list is empty, the device can connect to any device. Note: Both the Wi-Fi and Ethernet address for each device should be added to the approved list. | No | |||||||||
Note: Each MDM vendor implements these settings differently. To learn how various AirPlay settings are applied to your devices and users, consult your MDM vendor’s documentation.
