I have been getting requests to provide all managed phones with a contact list. The config page allows me to access a CARDDAV server. I would like some suggestions on how to best set one up, perhaps a cloud solution. Thanks

Updated 14SEPT2022 - I moved the GitHub link over to the official Jamf Github - https://github.com/jamf/jamfconnect/tree/main/azure_conditional_access will have the latest until the official Jamf Connect docs get updated.Updated 14JUL2022 - The github link below has been updated with some steps removed for version 2.13 or greater of Jamf Connect, details about custom ROPG scopes in the menu bar, notes on how the login may still show a failure after doing this but that's fine.  https://www.jamf.com/blog/how-to-azure-conditional-access-and-jamf-connect/ will supersede instructions currently on the Jamf Blog.Updated 14JAN2022 - The github link below has been updated to simplify the setup of the application registrations in Azure and allows for full testing in Jamf Connect Configuration before deploying to a test machine.https://www.jamf.com/blog/how-to-azure-conditional-access-and-jamf-connect/  - Updated instructions posted to Jamf Blog.UPDATE

Hi folks, I'm looking to create a policy to do the following. Install AWS VPN Client Add Profile with provided .ovpn file. Pushing the AWS VPN Client is easy enough by pushing the .pkg file.Anyone have any experience/ideas for the second part? Thanks!

Hi,  We'd like to create an app/script that when run prompts the user to enter an asset tag and then automatically renames the device.I.e. asset tag 12345 renames the device to AG-MAC-12345 so that "AG-MAC-" is already predefined? Is this something that can be done with DEPNotify? TIA. 

Our department is rolling out 500 new iPhones and we’ve been asked to provide an “address book” to each phone that will display the caller’s name on the phone receiving the call. These assumes that both the caller and the callee will be using our managed, and supervised, phones. Most of the en users are using Office 365. We also have the option of creating our own address book data entries and hosting them “someplace”. I can see that Casper can push out settings for a CardDAV server, but am not sure if that will do what we need or if there are better approaches. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks. Seth

Hello, So I’m curious about whether we need to have either an LDAP server setup or issue managed AppleIDs in order to utilize user-initiated enrollment.I made a user and user group in JAMF Pro thinking it would allow for enrolling a device and that I could give my end users a single set of credentials to then get the MDM profile and configuration to everyone. However during the enrollment, I get stuck on a page which mentions “Assign to User” with a blue magnifying glass and Enroll button which don’t seem to react, no matter what I enter. Perhaps this is not possible, but it’s what I’m hoping to find out here. Can I use a single JAMF Pro user to log in all my end users for user-initiated device enrollment? Or must we set up an LDAP server/get managed IDs?Context: We are doing a big push for new devices soon, and currently we have no self-enrollment, meaning our IT department would have to manually enroll every phone. We are looking for an alternative solution to avoid that. We do not u

Was upgrading my on prem dev Jamf pro instanace today and was looking into Important notices for the last few releases. I noticed this:11.14.0 Apple announced upcoming changes to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) Certificate Authority (CA). Organizations using APNs will be required to update their application's trust store to include the new server certificate before 24 February 2025 to prevent communication disruption. For cloud-hosted environments, the root certificate is already trusted and validated. For on-premise environments, you may need to download and install the new SHA-2 Root USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate to your server's certificate trust store if it is not already trusted on your hosting infrastructure. For more information, see How to Download & Install Sectigo Intermediate Certificates - RSA documentation from Sectigo per Apple's announcement. Apple has a test server available to allow organizations to send push certificates to v

Hi all,I'm fairly new to Jamf and recently completed the Jamf 100 course. I want to start testing to learn more, and I have a loaner Mac to use but I want to make sure I don’t accidentally affect anything in production.What’s the best way to safely test? Should I ask for a separate test instance from Jamf, or use VMs? Any tips or lessons from those who’ve been in a similar spot would be super helpful.

I have been using docutil for many years at this point (along with BuildADock). It works great. I am building a new lab and it's a weird setup. Not every computer will have the same versions of software installed (mainly Adobe) for some stupid licensing issues. I'm wondering if there is a way to use wildcards in the docutil script? For example, I have three sets of computers that have either Adobe CC 2023, 2024, or 2025. The software installs are the same, but the version year is different. Rather than make different docks for all the variations in the lab, is there a way to use a wildcard so it puts whichever version of Photoshop onto the dock that is installed onto the computer?

Hi everyone,I'm currently facing an issue with AnyDesk deployed via Jamf across our Mac fleet. Initially, I set up an installation policy and a configuration profile for all Macs and users, and everything was working smoothly.However, I've noticed that whenever I add a new PC to AnyDesk and attempt to connect remotely to a Mac, I receive an "Access Denied" message. I understand this isn't the official AnyDesk forum, but I’m hoping someone here might have encountered a similar situation.I’m considering removing and redeploying the configuration profile to see if that resolves the issue—but I’m not entirely sure how to go about it. Would changing the scope to "specific computers" and "specific users" be enough? Could that potentially cause other problems?If anyone has suggestions or has dealt with something similar, I’d really appreciate your input.Thanks in advance for your help!

We need to add a new allowance to our VPN profile that is required for the newest version of our VPN client .I am trying to figure out what exactly happens on macOS when a profile gets updated. Does it remove all the settings the profile sets and reapply, or does it only add/remove changes. I would like it so people do not get kicked off VPN when the profile is updated (The addition to the profile only deals with login items.  

Just to be clear this is not a JAMF issue or any MDM issue. This is an apple issue and unless people speak up by opening apple tickets or feedback cases or talking with their apple engineer, apple will not take this seriously.If you as system engineer of your environment would like IP addresses reported from your devices please feel free to use as much or as little of my argument to apple from my ticket I opened with them  I am writing to advocate for the inclusion of IP address reporting within MDM solutions for devices supervised under the DEP for iOS, macOS, visionOS, and tvOS.The ability to report IP addresses is not merely a desirable feature; it is an essential capability for enterprises to gain a comprehensive understanding of their devices and network environment. This functionality will significantly enhance our ability to scope and troubleshoot Apple devices effectively. Currently, the process involves multiple teams and systems to ascertain a device's IP address, which requi

Does anyone receive these emails, [HIGH] Alert for Sophos Central, when their computer is updated from one operating system to another, or at other random times? I was informed by Sophos that I would need to manage using static groups instead of smart groups, but that seems inefficient and not ideal.

Things are a little different around here! As we shared in this Tech Thoughts article, any posts that were created in that space between JUNE 23 - JULY 3 DID NOT MIGRATE. Instead of putting Jamf Nation into read-only mode during our transition to this new site, we opted to keep it open so y’all could keep getting help from the community. If you posted during that timeframe and didn’t get your answer, go ahead and re-post it on the forum now!  If you posted during that timeframe but already got your answer (or don’t need it), no need to do anything else. That’s all! I hope you’re enjoying this revamped version of Jamf Nation. Be sure to reach out to us at jamfnation@jamf.com with any questions or feedback!

Hi,I’m trying to use Network Access in Jamf Cloud to route traffic to M365 apps via the ZTNA network for IOS devices. I’ve added this as a separate Activation Profile on top of the Default Profile that covers different services. The users already had the Jamf Trust app on their phones for the previously enabled services. Those services didn’t require a login, since Jamf Pro is distributing Jamf Trust. With the additional profile I assumed that logging in was somehow made possible in the App, but there’s no option anywhere. Also, I don’t see that traffic is routed through the ZTNA network either (since I would expect traffic to come from a different IP). Last, if I look in device management in Jamf Cloud, the Network Access services is not active for the devices, so I wonder if the Activation Profile is even deployed, despite I’ve done that (I even tried to open the link on a phone manually).Any suggestions on what I might be missing or doing wrong? The documentation isn’t really giving

We’ve been testing Platform SSO with Microsoft Entra ID in a Password Authentication configuration, and found that we need to create a local account on the system first in System Settings > Users & Groups, before a user can log in with user@domain.com as their username, is that expected behavior? If that is what is required then we can work with that, but ideally once the system has the relevant configuration profiles installed I’d like anyone in Entra ID to be able to log in without any manual configuration. If I don’t manually create a local, standard account with the same username beforehand, the user just gets a dialogue box containing a yellow warning triangle with no other information and is then automatically logged out again. Or would I be better off with a Secure Enclave configuration? We have hundreds of staff 1:1 Macs (mostly MacBooks) and about 100 lab iMacs/Mac Studios. We are a big MS/Azure/Entra house, currently bind to AD (which we are desperate to come away from

Hello jamf nation, If the goal of the new Jamf Nation Rewards program is to generate more content, user numbers and traffic, then it would be cool if jamf also considered redesigning the forum page. There are no specific topic areas. I can only search or scroll down. If I have then scrolled down so far that I have to click on "load more", then open a post and click back again, I am back at the top of the homepage and have to go back to the bottom and click on "load more". The only way to avoid this is to open a post in a new tab. Are there any thoughts on this?l @Mitchell_Gordon  Cheers

is there any way to create an extension attribute that will contain audit of usb devices (storage) connected e.g. in the last month?

We have been using this profile to automatically connect to the corporate SSID. However, two days ago, I encountered an issue when I attempted to re-push the profile to a device—it failed to install.   Upon investigating the profile, I noticed an "Options" error that appears when the SCEP payload is selected. However, no specific errors are shown in the payload settings themselves. I tried to create a new profile but still error is there   Could you please assist in identifying and resolving the issue?    

Does anyone noticed LDAP attributes for Okta is changed from city to l or o?From today morning, I saw this changes on my environment. With city key word, its not pulled data from Okta to Jamf.

I am starting to test JAMF Pro with Entra as the cloud identity provider for an iPad rollout. I am not the entra manager but it seems that a newly created student must change their password on first login.But when that first login is the Remote management enrolment page, their temp password doesn’t work.We don’t use JAMF Connect. Is this a known issue?
