  1. Add username field to `device.enrolled` webhook event

    The goal is to have a username field in the device.enrolled webhook event.

    This field would be populated using the the custom attribute defined in the "Username custom attribute" setting in the Automated Enrollment Authentication section.

    In our use case, a user will be prompted to auth using Okta during Automated Device Enrollment (ADE). The username that is returned by Okta would be part of the webhook event payload. We use the username and device serial number to help with automating other internal processes to help determine which user is assigned to which device.

    This could be covered by https://suggestions.simplemdm.com/forums/204404-suggestions/suggestions/46831099-control-webhook-data…

  2. Devices API - Create - Extend method to include optional params for DEP device ID and device name

    When creating a device using the Devices API create method (https://api.simplemdm.com/#devices), there are only two parameters that can be passed to it, 'name' and 'group_id'.

    It would be very helpful, especially for devices that are expected to go through automated device enrolment, if we could pass a DEP device ID parameter to it so that a DEP device that is not yet enrolled will automatically be assigned to the nominated device group.
    If the DEP device id parameter is assigned, then the response probably shouldn't include an enrolment URL, as this param should indicate the device is expected…

  3. Implement "force password change when the user authenticates"

    As per https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/deployment/dep4d6a472a/web, Apple has an API for forcing a user password change. This is useful when updating password policy - passwords that met the old policy but no longer meet the new policy are not evaluated and forced to change. This setting, however, would make it so.

  8. Further Document or Create Tutorial for SimpleMDM App Deployment

    I've seen mentioned in Slack and seen in my own deployments that a fair amount of confusion comes from having SimpleMDM appear to be listed as an available app, even though a customer still needs to purchase it via VPP in order to deploy it. In my own first usage, I attempted to deploy with out purchasing, and when I figured out what was going on, I was able to correct the problem, but the installation took some time. I've seen at least one other user confused about this in the Mac Admins Slack, and I would expect that this…

  10. Okta Device Trust integration

    Okta have nice "Device trust" setting do you guys think it will be possible to cooperate with them and make this happen?

    https://help.okta.com/en/prod/Content/Topics/Mobile/Okta_Device_Trust_Jamf_macOS_Devices.htm

    It is easy for iOS/Windows but they need some API access to verify device in MDM.

    Thanks

  12. App installation dependencies for macOS

    We have some installation dependencies for applications that we're deploying to macOS, but it doesn't appear possible to specify dependencies for Apps & Media within SimpleMDM. Because of that, we're unable to control the order that those packages are installed in. It would be nice to have the ability to mark certain app install bundles as dependent upon others.

  13. Allow for search params via dep_servers/$id/dep_devices

    Similar to /devices/ allow searching for dep devices by "attributes": {"serial_number"}, or "relationships": {"device": {"data": { "type": "id" {$id}}}}.

    Or possibly add a relationship on the device record to its DEP device entry.

  15. Increase munkiimport maximum package size from 5GB to 20GB

    We attempted to upload a .dmg for Xcode 12.5.1 (approx 14GB) and hit an error:

    <Error><Code>EntityTooLarge</Code>
    <ProposedSize>13988766834</ProposedSize>.
    <MaxSizeAllowed>5368709120</MaxSizeAllowed>
    </Error>

    The .xip file was downloaded from the Developer portal and unpacked in terminal using xip --expand.

    Could the upload size be increased to 20GB to allow larger .dmgs to be delivered by SimpleMDM using Munki ?

    Performance delivering Xcode from Apps & Books is patchy, and does not allow the running of a post install script to accept the licence and install the embedded packages.

    This could be for a test instance initially to check performance.

    Non-integrated munki and local mirrors…

  17. Allow for a few different local admin password formats

    The current format is often very hard to type (and not easily copied), so it would be helpful if you offered some other password types that were more user and script friendly. 1Password's "memorable" word based passwords are a good example of a strong password, that's also easy type. Bonus points if you omit characters that need to be escaped in scripting (like when using the sysadminctl -secureTokenOn function).
    Thanks

  18. Prepopulate Job Name Field for New Jobs

    When creating a new job please auto populate the Job Name with something unique rather than leaving it blank. For example, something related to the current timescriptnameSerialNumber would be useful.

    The admin should be able to edit this prepopulated name if they so wish.

  19. Scope profiles to build version

    With the advent of RSRs, the OS version is no longer a definitive identifier of what OS rev a system is on. The OS build numbers would be a more consistent way to identify target OSes.

    Historically, macOS minor builds have followed an pattern of
    [Major OS number][A...Z minor build][Patch Number] moniker.

    Now with RSRs, the build numbers are a bit more complicated but the values still go up and each build number is larger than the last based on the pattern above.

    13.3.1 22E261
    13.3.1 RSR 22E772610a
    13.4.0 22F66
    13.4.1 22F82
    13.4.1 RSR 22F770820b

    I propose that Build numbers…
