Sign configuration profiles in Profile Manager
Profile Manager can sign profiles using a self-signed certificate generated by you, or one with an established chain of trust. This prevents the possible tampering of profiles before they’re installed on the device.
Note: After a device is associated with Profile Manager, the device trusts any profiles downloaded from Profile Manager. It’s necessary to sign only configuration profiles that will be manually downloaded and installed.
- Open the Server app, click Profile Manager, then select Sign Configuration Profiles. - A dialog appears, asking you to select your certificate or import one. If you’ve already enabled device management, select your certificate in the list. 
- Optionally, import a certificate. - If you choose import, you’re asked for three things: your private key, public certificate, and any nonidentity certificates. The nonidentity certificates are optional.
