The Autoactivationlink is not passing through to the application. The mobileconfig provided is for Intune, the vendor does not have a Jamf version. I am also having trouble getting it to pull the USERNAME and DEVICE_NAME from the system, I tried the original palceholders {{Username}} {{Devicename}} and the ones you see now.. I have obscured the link as it is unique to our license.

Best answer by Shyamsundar

this is the variable you need to use in your plist for getting the username and device

$USERNAME

$COMPUTERNAME

string><![CDATA[https://cira.sxxxxx]]></string>
<key>FirstName</key>
<string>$USERNAME</string>
<key>LastName</key>
<string>$COMPUTERNAME</string>

Please refer this for more information

What application is this for? Also share this using code blocks so we can make sure the formatting is correct. In theory if the vendor provides a .mobileconfig you can just sign it and upload it to jamf without having to do anything else.

@Shyamsundar That got things closer, thank you. The $USERNAME came back blank, $COMPUTERNAME worked.

@AJPinto Apologies, here is the code in Codeblocks. The app is CIRA DNS Firewall.
