Firefox profile has no effect

The configuration payload is ignored by Firefox if it does not include EnterprisePoliciesEnabled=true.

Type	Unexpected Behaviour
Domain	Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox)
Key	EnterprisePoliciesEnabled
OS	macOS
Status	Solved
Last Update	2021.10.18

Because the default value of EnterprisePoliciesEnabledis true, iMazing Profile Editor was not writing it out to the outputted profile.

Solution

The key has been made a required key, and its default value is now included in Firefox profiles without requiring any user interaction. Available as a manifest update in IPE 1.5 and above.

Web Content Filter error on macOS

The Web Content Filter configuration payload is documented by Apple as being supported by both iOS and macOS, but does not work out of the box on macOS, triggering an unexpected error message upon installation.

Type	Unexpected Behaviour
Domain	Web Content Filter (com.apple.webcontent-filter)
Key	FilterType
OS	macOS
Status	Solved
Last Update	2021.10.18

MacOS does not support the Built-in filter type (FilterType=BuiltIn). This behaviour is documented by Apple, but isn't evident when editing a profile with IPE or Apple Configurator 2.

Mitigation

Added iOS Only to the string describing the built-in filter. Available as a manifest update in IPE 1.5 and above.
