Previously, I’d written a script to manage sending device lock commands using the Jamf Pro Classic API. After writing it, I thought that it would be a good idea if the script could also generate a report that could be handed off to others so I forked the script and updated it to generate a report in .tsv format. Since others might prefer the original script without the automatically generated report, I left that one alone and have made the forked copy into its own script. For more details, please see below the jump.
Pre-requisites:
If setting up a specific Jamf Pro user account for this purpose with limited rights, here are the required API privileges for the account on the Jamf Pro server:
Jamf Pro Server Objects:
Computers: Create, Read
Jamf Pro Server Action:
Send Computer Remote Lock Command
This script reads a .csv file formatted as follows:
“Jamf Pro ID, PIN Code” as the first line
Subsequent lines:
Column 1: A Mac’s Jamf Pro ID
Column 2: Device Lock PIN code
| Jamf Pro ID | PIN Code | |
|---|---|---|
| 26 | 165234 | |
| 52 | 197898 | |
| 1226 | 201145 |
For authentication, the script can accept manual input or values stored in a ~/Library/Preferences/com.github.jamfpro-info.plist file.
The plist file can be created by running the following commands and substituting your own values where appropriate:
To store the Jamf Pro URL in the plist file:
defaults write com.github.jamfpro-info jamfpro_url https://jamf.pro.server.goes.here:port_number_goes_here
To store the account username in the plist file:
defaults write com.github.jamfpro-info jamfpro_user account_username_goes_here
To store the account password in the plist file:
defaults write com.github.jamfpro-info jamfpro_password account_password_goes_here
Once you have authentication handled, the script is designed to run as shown below:
/path/to/Jamf_Pro_MDM_Device_Lock.sh /path/to/filename_goes_here.csv
Once executed, the script will then do the following:
Skip the first line of the .csv file (this is the “Jamf Pro ID, PIN Code” line.)
Read each subsequent line of the .csv one at a time and assign the values of column 1
and column 2 to separate variables.
Use the variables in an API POST call to identify a Jamf Pro computer inventory record using the Jamf Pro ID listed in the .csv file and lock the Mac in question using the the PIN code listed in the .csv file.
A successful MDM lock should produce output similar to that shown below:
| Attempting to send MDM lock to Jamf Pro ID 2935 with PIN code 348202. | |
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><computer_command><command><name>DeviceLock</name><command_uuid>98d915a4-6132-4535-b474-c8381e48425a</command_uuid><computer_id>2935</computer_id></command></computer_command> | |
| Successfully locked computer with Jamf Pro ID 1925 with PIN code 348202. |
Failures should look similar to this:
