Pulse secure with config file

[Saljuhani]

HI All,

let me start off by saying I am a complete nube to the Jamf community. I am piloting with policies, configs and PKG deployments.

I am now stuck at deploying our Pulse VPN config file using Jamf. I was able to successfully deploy and install the pulse client, but now I have to deploy the configuration. I have the config file from our VPN portal and have the script to install. However, I dont know where to go from here. I cant upload the Pulsepreconfig as a package becasue the format is not compatible with Jamf can some one walk me through the steps? Thank You

You can use composer to package the script and place it where you want. Or use a bash script to download it and run it. Or package it with composer and have a post-install script that runs the script being placed. A lot of options here.

Hi,

the way i managed it is the following:

I have two policies. The first one have the Pulse Secure installer.pkg which is available in Self Service. When the policy finished it runs the following command:

jamf policy -event runPSConf

The 2nd policy has the trigger runPSConf and installs a pkg which i have build.

This pkg placed our .jnprpreconfig file at /Users/Shared/ and runs this postinstall script:

#!/bin/sh
# Import the company VPN settings. Specify your file here
/Applications/Pulse Secure.app/Contents/Plugins/JamUI/jamCommand -importFile /Users/Shared/TWT.jnprpreconfig  
sleep 5

rm -Rf /Users/Shared/TWT.jnprpreconfig
