Configuring Settings for Jamf Connect

Beginning with Jamf Pro 10.18.0, you can create a computer configuration profile that configures Jamf Connect settings with the Applications & Custom Settings payload. This payload allows you to select Jamf Connect apps, automatically generate a PLIST file, and scope it to target computers.

Alternatively, you can configure Jamf Connect with the Jamf Connect Configuration app.

Note: If deployed during a PreStage Enrollment, your configuration profile must be signed.

Configuring Jamf Connect in Jamf Pro

  1. In Jamf Pro, click Computers at the top of the page.

  2. Click Configuration Profiles.

  3. Click New.

  4. Use the General payload to configure basic settings, including the level at which to apply the profile and the distribution method. Only payloads and settings that apply to the selected level are displayed for the profile. To distribute the profile during enrollment using a computer PreStage enrollment, ensure you create a computer-level configuration profile.
    For more information about distributing configuration profiles during enrollment, see Computer PreStage Enrollments in the Jamf Pro Administrator's Guide.

  5. Click the Applications & Custom Settings payload and do the following:

    1. Select Configure Settings under Creation Method.

    2. Choose "Jamf Repository" from the Source pop-up menu.

    3. Select the preference domain of the Jamf Connect app you want to configure from the Preference Domain pop-up menu.

    4. Select the Jamf Connect version to configure in the Version pop-up menu. Make sure the configured version matches the version installed on computers.

    5. Configure Jamf Connect settings as needed. To determine which settings are required, see the Jamf Connect Administrator's Guide.

      Important: In addition to the minimum required settings, you must also configure the ROPGTenantID key to specify your identity provider's tenant ID.

  6. Click the Scope tab and configure the scope of the profile.
    For more information, see Scope in the Jamf Pro Administrator's Guide.

    Note: To distribute the profile during enrollment using a computer PreStage enrollment, ensure the scope of the profile contains the computers that are in the scope of the PreStage enrollment. For more information about distributing configuration profiles during enrollment, see Computer PreStage Enrollments in the Jamf Pro Administrator's Guide.

  7. Click Save.

Configuring Jamf Connect with Jamf Connect Configuration

You can create a configuration profile for Jamf Connect using the Setup Assistant.

      Notes:

      • Required keys vary based on your IdP.

      • In addition to the minimum required settings, you must also configure the ROPG Tenant setting to specify your identity provider's tenant ID.

    1. Click Save to generate and save a configuration profile.
      If saving as a .mobileconfig file, complete the configuration profile metadata fields.
