Keychain Item Syncing

You can configure Jamf Connect to sync other user account passwords that are stored in the keychain with a network account. When configured, Jamf Connect will change any specified keychain item passwords as a part of the password change process. For example, this could be used to sync a user's 802.1X Wi-Fi password or application passwords with their network account. Variables can be used to substitute account information as needed.

You specify which keychain items to update by configuring a dictionary of keychain item names and account names. The Sync Password with Internet Keychain Items (InternetItems) preference is used for internet keychain items, which are represented by a icon in Keychain Access. The Update Keychain Items (PasswordItems) preference is used for password keychain items, which are represented with a icon in Keychain Access.

The <key> value for both of these preferences corresponds with the Where value of a keychain item in Keychain Access. This may not always match the Name value. The following screenshot shows where to find the Where value of a keychain item:
