VPN variables MDM settings for Apple devices
You can use variables for a VPN connection with SCEP on Mac computers enrolled in a mobile device management (MDM) solution. You can use the following variables in the Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol (SCEP) AuthName and XAuthName fields. These variables are resolved on the device during installation. You can combine these variables with static text, such as Mac. %HardwareUUID%, to create a compound name.
Consult your MDM vendor’s documentation to learn which variables they support.
