Jamf Profile

Prerequisites

On Horizon side, you might need to set up a Proxy used to reach Jamf Pro, if necessary.

On Jamf Pro side, it is required to create a technical user for Horizon, and give it Auditor rights, so that Horizon will be able to list the devices managed by Jamf Pro and thus be able to trigger certificate revocation upon decommissioning. Please follow the steps from the Jamf Pro documentation. After performing these steps, you will be given the following information, required later:

  • a login

  • a password

For example, one needs to ensure that the remote service will not be contacted more than 5 times per 3 seconds. Throttle parallelism defines the number of times and Throttle duration the period of time. Therefore, on the above example, throttle parallelism would be set to 5 and throttle duration would be set to 3 seconds.
