Entering Jamf Pro Settings
Note:After you have launched App Portal for the first time and uploaded the license file, you are then prompted to specify the connection settings for your deployment technology. However, you are not required to enter your deployment technology settings at this time. You could skip this step and launch App Portal, and then specify the deployment settings on the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view. For more information, see “Getting Started” in the App Portal / App Broker Administration Guide.
To connect App Portal to a Jamf Pro server, you need to open the Settings > Deployment view under Site Management on the Admin tab, and then select the Jamf Pro tab.
To enter Jamf Pro connection settings:
| 1. | On the Admin tab, open the Site Management > Settings > Deployment view. |
| 2. | Open the Jamf Pro subtab. |
| 3. | In the Jamf Pro URL field, enter the URL to your Jamf Pro server. |
| 4. | Enter the User Name and Password to your Jamf Pro server. |
| 5. | Click Test to test connection settings. If successful, the following message is displayed: |
Jamf Pro Server settings are valid.
Note:Jamf Pro users (which are based upon an email address) and devices are synced to App Portal at the same time that the System Center Configuration Manager / Altiris users and devices are synced. App Portal users are matched with System Center Configuration Manager / Altiris users by having the same email address.
Note:When App Portal publishes a request to Jamf Pro, Jamf Pro returns status messages, which are listed in the Jamf Pro XPath Mapping area of this tab. If, at some future time, Jamf Pro changes their status messages to something different, you can update these values by performing the steps in “Entering Jamf Pro XPath Mapping Settings” in the App Portal / App Broker Administration Guide.
