Dynamic construction of configuration profiles for settings common across different operating systems

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying program code executable in at least one computing device that, when executed by the at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to:

• identify a value from a field of at least one user interface, the field being associated with a setting common to a plurality of operating systems;
• determine a first variable name for inclusion in a first configuration profile in association with the value based at least in part on a first one of the plurality of operating systems;
• determine a second variable name for inclusion in a second configuration profile in association with the value based at least in part on a second one of the plurality of operating systems, the second one of the plurality of operating systems being different than the first one of the plurality of operating systems;
• generate the first configuration profile such that the value is a parameter of the first variable name for deployment to a first client device having the first one of the plurality of operating systems installed thereon;
• and
• generate the second configuration profile such that the value is a parameter of the second variable name for deployment to a second client device having the second one of the plurality of operating systems installed thereon, wherein the first configuration profile and the second configuration profile are each configured to, when installed on a respective client device, configure the respective client device and designate a respective agent application as a device administrator, the agent application as the device administrator being configured to control access to at least one software or hardware function of the respective client device.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• identifying a value from a field of at least one user interface, the field being associated with a setting common to a plurality of operating systems;
• determining a first variable name for inclusion in a first configuration profile in association with the value based at least in part on a first one of the plurality of operating systems;
• determining a second variable name for inclusion in a second configuration profile in association with the value based at least in part on a second one of the plurality of operating systems, the second one of the plurality of operating systems being different than the first one of the plurality of operating systems;
• generating the first configuration profile such that the value is a parameter of the first variable name for deployment to a first client device having the first one of the plurality of operating systems installed thereon;
• and
• generating the second configuration profile such that the value is a parameter of the second variable name for deployment to a second client device having the second one of the plurality of operating systems installed thereon, wherein the first configuration profile and the second configuration profile are each configured to, when installed on a respective client device, configure the respective client device and designate a respective agent application as a device administrator, the agent application as the device administrator being configured to control access to at least one software or hardware function of the respective client device.
