Custom Password Policy Setup
Upload a Custom Configuration Profile (.mobileconfig file) to SimpleMDM with your password policy settings in order to automate the Password policy test. Built-in passcode policies configured via the SimpleMDM UI do not expose password configuration details through the API — only metadata (name, identifier).

Save the template below as
password-policy.mobileconfig.
In SimpleMDM → Custom Configuration Profiles → Create.
Upload the file and assign to the relevant device group(s).
