Using MDM Profiles for your Agent

If you utilize an MDM solution, you can create configuration profiles to make management of the agent silent on macOS deployments. We recommend deploying the relevant SYSEX or KEXT profiles prior to the agent deployment.

It is recommended to use the System Extension version, as Apple has deprecated the use of Kernel Extensions. Refer to Software Downloads

Best practice is to have one payload per configuration profile.

System Extension (SYSEX)

System Extension Allow Payload

Inside your MDM, create a System Extension Allow profile based on the below information:

  • Team Identifier: UJDHBB2D6Q
  • Allowed System Extensions: com.thycotic.acsd

SYSEX Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) Full Disk Access Payload

Inside your MDM, create a PPPC profile based on below:

  • Identifier: com.thycotic.acsd
  • Identifier Type: Bundle ID
  • Code Requirement:
Copy 
anchor apple generic and identifier "com.thycotic.acsd" and (certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.9] /* exists */ or certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = UJDHBB2D6Q)

  • Team ID: UJDHBB2D6Q
  • Kernel Extension Bundle ID: com.thycotic.ThycoticACS

KEXT Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) Full Disk Access Payload

Inside your MDM, create a PPPC profile based on below:

anchor apple generic and identifier "com.thycotic.ThycoticACS" and (certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.9] /* exists */ or certificate 1[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.2.6] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[field.1.2.840.113635.100.6.1.13] /* exists */ and certificate leaf[subject.OU] = UJDHBB2D6Q)
