Starting with Jamf Pro 10.46.0, Memcached is required for clustered and multi-context environments. For non-clustered environments, ehcache is used by default. If your environment is clustered with multiple nodes and is currently using ehcache and not Memcached, you must install and configure Memcached for your environment to continue to function normally. No action is required if you have only a single Jamf Pro node and are not clustered. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2023/2023-05-may/00-jpro-parameters/ Thu, 18 May 2023 08:09:14 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2023/2023-05-may/00-jpro-parameters/ https://macnotes.wordpress.com/2022/01/14/device-specific-parameters-for-jamf-pro-script-policies/ Custom Schema : Preference Domain : com.my.script { "title": "My Script Settings", "description": "Settings for my script", "properties": { "jamf_mac_username": { "title": "Username", "description": "The Jamf device owner", "property_order": 10, "type": "string" }, "jamf_pro_id": { "title": "JSSID", "description": "Jamf Pro ID", "property_order": 10, "type": "string" }, "jamf_mac_fullname": { "title": "FULLNAME", "description": "Full Name", "property_order": 10, "type": "string" } } } Sample script : #!/bin/bash # Ref : https://macnotes.wordpress.com/2022/01/14/device-specific-parameters-for-jamf-pro-script-policies/ preference_path='/Library/Managed Preferences/com. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2023/2023-04-april/01-deploying-zscaler-using-ws1/ Fri, 07 Apr 2023 17:57:00 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2023/2023-04-april/01-deploying-zscaler-using-ws1/ Deploying Zscaler using VMware Workspace ONE I am pretty new to WS1 and ran into couple of challenges while deploying zscaler in our environment. Most of the search results ended up in something that’s suitable for jamf. So, thought to create something specfic to WS1 I followed the resources found online to create a zscaler package. There are multiple packages creating tools available. I have used composer app to package it. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2022/2022-09-sept/2022-09-sept-01-jamf-binary-self-heal-in-2022/ Thu, 15 Sep 2022 19:53:07 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2022/2022-09-sept/2022-09-sept-01-jamf-binary-self-heal-in-2022/ Desc Text. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2021/2021-06-june/2021-06-20-01-apache-tomcat-cert-update/ Sun, 20 Jun 2021 22:30:16 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2021/2021-06-june/2021-06-20-01-apache-tomcat-cert-update/ Functionality to issue the Tomcat SSL/TLS certificate from Jamf Pro’s built-in certificate authority — Jamf Pro’s functionality to issue the Tomcat SSL/TLS certificate from the JSS built-in certificate authority (CA) will be discontinued in a future release of Jamf Pro. The release version for this change has not been determined. Before this change occurs, it is recommended that all on-premise Jamf Pro instances leveraging this functionality switch to a publicly trusted third-party CA to issue the Tomcat SSL/TLS certificate. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2021/2021-06-june/2021-06-19-01-macadmins-tips-and-tricks/ Sat, 19 Jun 2021 22:30:16 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2021/2021-06-june/2021-06-19-01-macadmins-tips-and-tricks/ Obfuscating a Password to Use in Scripts in Jamf Pro https://docs.illinoisstate.edu/endpoint/topics/guides/encrypting-a-password-to-use-in-scripts-in-jamf-pro De-signing Configuration Profiles https://macmule.com/2015/11/16/making-downloaded-jss-configuration-profiles-readable/ https://github.com/moofit/mobileconfig_automator Signing Configuration Profiles https://www.macblog.org/post/signing-configuration-profiles/ GUI tool : Hancock - This tool retrieves certificates saved in your computer’s Keychain and provides a GUI to easily sign your packages. https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/28311/using-jss-ca-to-sign-osx-configuration-profiles https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2020/2020-01-jan/2020-01-16-01-catalina-read-only-volume/ Thu, 16 Jan 2020 18:30:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2020/2020-01-jan/2020-01-16-01-catalina-read-only-volume/ At the time of writing this article, I was using : macOS Catalina 10.15.2 Build 19C57 Question : After the installation of Catalina, all the user created folders from root are moved into a separate folder and the root folder is made readonly, containing only system default folders.

But just a few short years later, it’s clear that MDM alone isn’t enough to address all the concerns in an enterprise mobility program. In response, the market has moved to a new acronym, Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM). https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2018/2018-01-jan/2018-01-09-02-jamf-now-apple-configurator/ Tue, 09 Jan 2018 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2018/2018-01-jan/2018-01-09-02-jamf-now-apple-configurator/ https://support.jamfnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005076346-Use-Apple-Configurator-2-5-to-enroll-iOS-devices-in-DEP{:target="_blank"} How do I set up Jamf Now with the Device Enrollment Program (DEP)? https://support.jamfnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/208445566-How-do-I-set-up-Jamf-Now-with-the-Device-Enrollment-Program-DEP-{:target="_blank"} Important Note: When you add an iOS device to DEP using Apple Configurator, the device is provisionally managed for the first 30 days.

The first reason is to optimize bandwidth usage. Proxies can improve speed by caching Internet content locally after a client requests it. Clients that request the same content will get it locally instead of downloading it again from the Internet. Another reason is content filtering. Specific websites can be blocked or approved or content can be filtered dynamically with a third-party service. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-12-december/2017-12-28-03-iphone-battery/ Thu, 28 Dec 2017 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-12-december/2017-12-28-03-iphone-battery/ Reddit users have noticed that Apple appears to be slowing down old iPhones that have low-capacity batteries.

Example for Firefox : productbuild --component /Applications/Firefox.app/ /Applications/ ~/Desktop/Firefox.pkg 2. pkgbuild General example : sudo pkgbuild --install-location /Applications --component /path/to/app/for/MyGreatApp.app ./path/to/save/package/packagename.pkg Example for Firefox : sudo pkgbuild --install-location /Applications --component /Applications/Firefox.app ~/Desktop/Firefox_v300.pkg Reference articles : http://thegreyblog.blogspot.in/2014/06/os-x-creating-packages-from-command_2.html{:target="_blank"} https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/14843/app-installations{:target="_blank"} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKxjxi9Eny8{:target="_blank"} https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-06-04-external-accounts/ Tue, 06 Jun 2017 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-06-04-external-accounts/ At the time of writing this article, I was using : macOS Sierra 10.12.x Here’s the configuration : A Mac with 2 partitions – “Sierra 1” and “Sierra 2”. We try to demo Manual enrollment on Partition 1 and Automated enrollment on Partition 2. So, there is a “User 01” mobile account on Partition 2. Now, when I boot the Mac into Partition 1, I get this pop-up window at its login window. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-06-05-uninstall-macos-server/ Tue, 06 Jun 2017 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-06-05-uninstall-macos-server/ https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-05-02-target-disk-mode/ Mon, 05 Jun 2017 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-05-02-target-disk-mode/ If your Mac has a firmware password and you want to boot into Target Disk Mode you can’t just hold down T while the computer boots. It won’t prompt for a password or anything. To get around this I’ve been booting into systems, removing the firmware password, then booting into target disk mode. Well there is a much simpler way to do this. Hold Option while computer is booting. Enter firmware password when prompted. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-01-01-print-server/ Thu, 01 Jun 2017 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-06-june/2017-06-01-01-print-server/ Q : Does the latest version of OS X Server have print server capabilities? If I have three printers that are AirPrint compatible and would like to check whether there’s a way to pre-install drivers on a configuration file for a user to plug in to his or her Mac and all the printers be configured automatically. So, the answer to this is no. But a more round-about answer is sort of (as far as driver delivery and config), depending on your infrastructure. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-03-march/2017-03-05-imaging-will-be-gone/ Sun, 05 Mar 2017 23:55:59 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/2017/2017-03-march/2017-03-05-imaging-will-be-gone/ I don’t normally try to foretell the future but there is one change for Mac admins that I’m pretty sure will happen: The coming of Apple File System (APFS) will mark the end of disk imaging on Macs. For those not familiar with disk imaging, a disk image is a computer file containing the contents and structure of a disk volume. Mac disk images are applied to hard drives using the Apple Software Restore (asr) command line utility to erase the destination drive and then block-copy the data from the disk image onto the destination drive. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/hello-world/ Mon, 15 Sep 1947 11:30:03 +0000 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/hello-world/ Desc Text. https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/hello-world-2/ Wed, 03 Sep 1947 22:30:16 +0530 https://blog.themacguy.in/posts/hello-world-2/ Desc Text.
