Target System Jamf Pro / School

2 min read

01. Introduction

There is a general documentation available for the EBF Onboarder, where you can find information about its prerequisites and the whole migration project. It describes how you can setup a migration project, how you can setup invitation emails and reminders which guide your users through the migration. It also tells you how to initiate the migration process and how to track the migration status.

This documentation complements the general EBF Onboarder documentation and provides more detailed information to setup Jamf Pro as the target system.

NOTE: The steps for Jamf School are equal to Jamf Pro. The role administrator is used here as well.

We do not support the migration to Jamf Now.

02. Prerequisites for Jamf PRO / School

02.1. Creating the API-User

You need to create an API-User and allow Basic Authentication for APIs to allow the EBF Onboarder to access the Jamf Pro / School system:

Follow these steps to create the API-User:

  1. Click on ‘Settings’ in your Jamf Pro instance.
  2. Click on ‘User accounts and groups’.
  3. Click on ‘Password Policy’ in the top right and press ‘Edit’.
  4. Within ‘Allow Basic authentication for the Classic API’ please enable:
    Allow Basic authentication in addition to Bearer Token authentication.
  5. Save the change and go back to ‘User accounts and groups’.
  6. Click on ‘+ New’ to start the account creation process.
  7. You can either choose between a local or LDAP account. This guide describes the local account creation.

    NOTE: The LDAP account option is only visible after a successful LDAP binding.

  8. Select ‘Create Standard Account’ and press ‘Next’.
  9. Enter username and password and select ‘Administrator’ for ‘Privilege Set’. The other fields are optional.
  10. Click on ‘Save’.
  11. The EBF Onboarder also needs your Jamf Pro server URL. You can find this URL under ‘Settings’ >> ‘Global’ >> ‘Jamf Pro URL’.
