UMAD (macadmin's Slack #umad)

[U]niversal [M]DM [A]pproval [D]ialog

Embedded Python

As of v2.0, UMAD now uses its own embedded python (currently v3.8). This is due to Apple's upcoming removal of Python2.

FoundationPlist has been replaced by Python 3's version of plistlib

Nibbler has been updated to support python 3.

Building embedded python framework

To reduce the size of the git repository, you must create your own Python. To do this, simply run the ./build_python_framework script within the repository.

This process was tested on Catalina only.

./build_python_framework

Notes

You will need to use munki-pkg to build this package.

Because of the way git works, umad will not contain the Logs folder required for the postinstall to complete. In order to create a properly working package, you will need to run the following command: munkipkg --sync /path/to/cloned_repo/mdm/umad

OS Support v1

The following operating system and versions have been tested.

  • 10.10.0 Note 1, 10.10.5 - Note 2
  • 10.11.0, 10.11.6
  • 10.12.0, 10.12.6 (10.12 is very unreliable with DEP nagging)
  • 10.13.0 10.13.3, 10.13.6
  • 10.14.0
  • 10.15

OS Support v2 (embedded python)

The following operating system and versions have been tested with the embedded python.

  • 10.14
  • 10.15

Getting started

To start, you can use the default settings in /Library/LaunchAgent/com.anothertoolappleshouldhaveprovided.umad.plist

Essentially every component of the UI is customizable, using the above LaunchAgent.

  • Create your .pkg with munki-pkg and install on your target workstation.
  • Open terminal. example

/Library/Application Support/umad/Resources/umad --cutoffdate 2018-9-7-17:00 sets the cutoff date to September 7th at 5pm

Honor DND settings

If a device is DEP capable, umad will not honor DoNotDisturb settings so the nag can actually appear.

If the admin wants to honor DoNotDisturb for DEP devices, use this feature.

Non-DEP devices will honor the users DND settings

<string>--honordndsettings</string>

Logo path

You can replace the included company_logo.png with your own company_logo.png or you can configure a custom Path with the following string:

<string>--logopath</string>
<string>/Some/Custom/Path/company_logo.png</string>

Manual enrollment text

Profile identifier

This is the profile identifier for < 10.13 machines to check for enrollment. Should you not set this value, umad will attempt to look for a profile installed on the machine with the PayloadType of com.apple.mdm

<string>--profileidentifier</string>
<string>B68ABF1E-70E2-43B0-8300-AE65F9AFA330</string>

To get this value, run the following command on a computer with your MDM profile installed: profiles -C -o stdout-xml

Look for the MDM profile and notate the identifier. Some MDMs may use a UUID for this value.

Some examples:

<dict>
	<key>ProfileDescription</key>
	<string>MDM profile</string>
	<key>ProfileDisplayName</key>
	<string>MDM Profile</string>
	<key>ProfileIdentifier</key>

Tips, Tricks, and Troubleshooting

  • I made changes to the default LaunchAgent and now the UI isn't appearing?

    Make sure you unload, and reload the LaunchAgent after making changes.

  • Where is the logging located?

    /Library/Application Support/umad/umad.log

  • Why isn't the log file there?

    Remember to unload and reload the LaunchAgent.
