how to apply mobileconfig for config profile

[tcandela]

i am testing Dock Master (http://errorfreeit.com.au/blog/2015/4/28/dock-master) and it created a mobile config from the site. When I create a new configuration profile in JSS how do I apply the mobile config? do I use the custom settings payload and upload the mobileconfig ?

or should i just use the Dock payload in the configuration profile ?

whether its the mobileconfig or the Dock payload being used I want all existing and NEW users to get this Dock

or how can i use a current test users ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and using Composer create a dmg out of this and apple it to FUT and FEU ?

My understanding is that you can upload a mobileconfig file using the "Upload" button on the Configuration Profiles page. That worked for a Chrome mobileconfig file for me.

I use a configuration profile for dock items using the dock payload..
It just works, and you dont need to use 3rd parties to achieve..

You can edit the XML in tomcat to add applications to the list.

i uploaded the .mobileconfig from Dock Master and my Lab now has a default, unchangeable dock

How do you lock this config before uploading it to jamf? My config looks different than the one I set after i pushed it through jamf.

Just FYI,
I had my config profile signed by jamf, since we do not have a developer account at my School District. I installed the signed config, and deployed it.
