Institutional FileVault keychain

Hi there,

I have made an institutional keychain but can't seem to upload it to my JSS. I am either not sure where to upload the certificate so that it shows up as a choice or perhaps I need to enable a permission to do so.

Thanks
Anne

Hi Anne, in order to upload the certificate to the JSS, you will need to create a Disk Encryption Configuration object. You can find the configurations under Settings -> Computer Management -> Disk Encryption Configurations, and you will need the JSS user "Disk Encryption Configurations" privileges. Once you have a Disk Encryption Configuration, you can select the Recovery Key Type of either Institutional or Individual And Institutional and a new option will appear to upload the Institutional Recovery Key.

Note that you will need to export the key from the Keychain on your Mac. There is a KB article here https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/articles/326/creating-and-exporting-an-institutional-recovery-key showing this process, and the relevant admin guide page is here http://docs.jamf.com/9.100.0/casper-suite/administrator-guide/Managing_Disk_Encryption_Configuration...
