Addigy MDM macOS Deployment

In this article we'll walk through how to set up Addigy MDM to deploy the Zorus Filtering Agent for macOS.

**Please note that the Mac agent is still in late-stage beta.**

 

Compatible macOS Versions

Step 1. Once you have your Apple Push Notification uploaded, you're ready to start downloading the provided MDM configuration profiles using the link below:

MDM Configuration Profiles

From here, you'll want to upload those to Addigy by navigating to the Catalog on the left sidebar and then clicking on MDM Profiles.

Next, you'll click "New" in the top right and then use the "Custom Profile" button to upload the profiles you just downloaded.

Do this for all 6 profiles you downloaded. 

Make sure all of the profiles are set to priority 1.00 for deployment when uploading the config files.

Step 2. Now you'll want to create a new policy and add the MDM profiles that were just uploaded (or you can add to an existing policy if you have it).

Once you have this completed, you can click the MDM Profiles tab on the left of the Policy and select the Profiles that were previously uploaded in Step 1.

Step 3. The next step is to set up a variable for the Deployment Token. To do this we'll go to the Catalog tab in the left sidebar and click Variables in the dropdown list. Then you'll click the "New" button in the top right of the Account Variables page.

In the pop-up dialog box, you'll enter "ZorusKey" for the Key value, you can leave the Default value blank. The Type will be "Plain Text".

Finally, you'll need to click the "Add Policy Variation" button to select the corresponding policy created earlier as well as populate the field next to it with your token value. Click Save when complete.

Step 4. For this step, we're going to need to upload and configure the deployment script. You can grab the script required right here: Script 

Once you have that, navigate to the Catalog tab in the left sidebar again and click "Software" and then click the "New" button in the top right to create a new script under the Smart Software tab.

This is the point where you'll want to copy and paste the provided script (link above) into the script editor. The only modification you need to make to the script itself is to add the variable we created earlier by replacing YourDeploymentTokenHere with $ZorusKey (leave quotes in place) so it pulls that token value from the variables section.

NOTE: If you are not using the Beta variables feature Addigy provides just input your Clients token in YourDeploymentTokenHere instead of replacing it with $ZorusKey.

Ensure you set the script to Priority 5.00 for installation order.

Additionally, you'll want to add a "Condition for Install" down below the main script and use the "If app" checkbox with the file path /Applications/MSP-Filtering.app along with setting the version to greater than or equal to version 1.0. You'll also want to ensure the "Install if app not present" checkbox is selected as well.

Once you've saved the script, you'll still need to assign the script to the policy created earlier. To do this, click the three dots next to the script and then select "Assignments". From there, just select the policy you'd like it applied to and click "Save".

Step 5. The final step here will be to download the MDM profile from your Policies tab. Navigate to the "Add Devices" section in the left sidebar. From the presented dropdown, select the policy you assigned the script to in the previous step and from there you'll be able to download or send over the enrollment profile for that policy.

Conclusion. When all of these steps are complete, the profiles should first install themselves on the device and then the script itself will run to install the Zorus Filtering Agent.
