Hello Jamf Nation,
Today we are releasing Jamf Pro 10.42. Highlights of this release include:
Declarative Device Management Support
Apple's Declarative Device Management is a modern management protocol that allows managed devices to proactively and autonomously apply their own management settings with less communication from the Jamf Pro server. When you upgrade to Jamf Pro 10.42.0, Declarative Device Management is automatically enabled on eligible devices.
Configuration Profiles for Managed Login Items
Jamf Pro now includes two predefined configuration profiles containing Managed Login Items payloads, installed by default on eligible computers in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Profiles. These configuration profiles prevent end users from disabling certain background services of apps installed by Jamf in System Settings > General Settings > Login Items > Allow in the Background.
App Installers Enhancements
This release introduces several enhancements for App Installers.
To learn more about this release and the product issues it addresses, review the release notes here.

Scratch that - just had to look in the right place!
Posted on 10-23-2022 06:15 PM
Where is the right place, out of interest? I've been searching for half an hour and still can't find where to download it.
I'm feeling a little daft to say the least!

Hi @SteveWalker
Log in to Jamf Account and navigate to the Products page for Jamf Pro. You'll find the downloads there.
Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks

are those end dates correct or do I need more coffee. cos looking at this it ends before it begins?
Posted on 10-20-2022 09:03 AM
Hey @jamf-42, no additional coffee needed as you are correct about this call out! Thanks for bringing it up.

Can you please elaborate on the https://docs.jamf.com/10.42.0/jamf-pro/release-notes/Important_Notices.html about Removal of Unverified SSL Cert?
We are on-prem and have a wildcard SSL on our RHEL server that JAMF is running on. Within PKI Certificates settings, I only have Jamf Pro Built-in CA and Other under CA. Do I need to take action before upgrade?
All 3 boxes under User-Initated enrollment are unticked.
Posted on 10-21-2022 08:16 AM
Hi! Nope, based on that description you should be all good to go—environments with a trusted 3rd-party cert will just continue on as usual upon upgrading, no action required. Thanks for the comment!
Posted on 10-21-2022 08:39 AM
Interesting, while I am troubleshooting with support for another issue, I inquired about this particular issue. He said "As an on-premise environment, you will need to get the 3rd party certificate. You can safely upgrade to 10.41, but beyond that, you should get the 3rd party certificate."
So... do I need a third party cert to install to Jamf Pro or not?
Posted on 10-24-2022 07:34 AM
It is a good idea to get a 3rd party SSL certificate, but it is not required for 10.42.0. The jamf client side processes will require a trusted connection, so in some situations an admin may need to manually add that trust to the mac for a file share distribution point, for example.

Allow computers to install Rapid Security Responses
This setting displays in Restrictions > Functionality.
When selected, Install system data files and security updates in System Settings > Software Update > Advanced is enabled to install software updates without user interaction.
I'd like to know more about this behaviour. What happens if a reboot is required?

The rapid security response updates will not require reboots. From Apple's Newsroom article about Ventura:

So you couldnt manage to build the UI for the Managed login items ? Kandji did. About the Login & Background Items Library Item : Kandji
Cmon Jamf

Yeah, quite a shame that Jamf dropped the ball on this one.

Hi, I can't seem to find the button to retry all failed App Installer installations? Is this gone? Had an issue with the UI layout on my screen as I transitioned from a larger screen back to my laptop screen. The button is still there.

We have VERSION 10.42.0-t1665776579 and appears very glitchy specially under configuration profiles, anyone experiencing that?
Posted on 10-25-2022 10:17 AM
Has anyone else experienced Self Service failing to download policies? We have Jamf Cloud with on-site distribution points, getting "Could not connect to the HTTP server to download" and "The network connection was interrupted while downloading the package" for all apps that we have tested.

I believe HTTPS are requirement for the 10.42 on local DP. That is also something I want to get some assistance on because I have DP running HTTP on Mac Mini w/ built-in Apache. I just don't know how to get an SSL cert for our non-FQDN hostnames.

Has the PI110425 (Jamf not working with MySQL 8.0.30 or higher) been resolved?
Posted on 10-27-2022 05:30 AM
Hi @kay-_-
It has. Here's the full list of fixes: https://docs.jamf.com/10.42.0/jamf-pro/release-notes/Resolved_Issues.html
Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks

Please change the settings back as they were. This change is very bad and completely unnecessary. It makes no sense that now if my browser window is slightly smaller that I have to scroll sideways to see additional settings, the font is so small I now have to enlarge the screen, and overall the change just looks like a change to make a change. With so many inconsistencies in the product I'm shocked this time/effort was put on something that was so unnecessary.
Posted on 10-27-2022 01:18 PM
Who made this change and said "yeah this looks better??"
Posted on 10-28-2022 12:13 AM
I totally agree. Why take something that was intuitive and people are familiar with and turn it into something totally confusing, half-baked and honestly it doesn't look good. Please bring back the old design.
And honestly you guys at JAMF should spend your time fixing your buggy system and adding useful things like a UI for the Managed login items instead of wasting it on something that nobody asked for.

Wholeheartedly agree with you.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with device records not pulling up in 10.42.0? The web page just spins when opening certain device records.
Posted on 10-28-2022 12:19 PM
Yes, we have multiple S/N we can't load, and I have an active ticket with Jamf to fix this. First they asked if they could take down our Jamf instance to fix the issue, I said yes, then I got a reply from another staff asking me to do more troubleshooting instead of taking down the instance to fix the problem.
Really wonder sometimes about their support.
Posted on 10-28-2022 12:25 PM
I am chatting with support now and this is the response I got:
Can we grab screenshots of this behavior? Unfortunately, this is a known issue that has started to occur after we updated Jamf Pro to 10.42At the moment, there is no PI for this issue since this issue is fairly new. We also do not have any information regarding a timeline but are aware that a fix is being worked on at the moment. At the moment we are unaware of a workaround. We can try enabling “Debug mode” within Jamf Pro Settings > Information > Jamf Pro Server Logs. We can try to navigate to the device record to see if it will load.
Posted on 10-28-2022 12:35 PM
That is so lame and terrible service for a paid product. If the changes you introduced cause database issues, revert the changes, don't put everyone in limbo "until a fix is ready".
I did all that, debug mode, sent server logs, etc.
Posted on 10-31-2022 11:47 AM
Support has given us a workaround for the issue we are seeing when some device records are viewed in Jamf Pro, they spin infinitely and never load. There is now a Product Issue PI110632 for this issue. The workaround is running a MySQL query to update the "Priority" column for devices that do not have a priority. Essentially the MySQL query will just update the affected table's priority to have a priority.

Rough update for us. First, package downloads broke with error -1200. Word from our onsite applications support group and a few calls with Jamf was that the cipher suite needed updating. We get that addressed after almost a week of trying to get the right assistance from Jamf and now we're seeing the problem of not being able to pull up device info on various iPads. Hoping 10.42.1 fixes this.
