Jamf Pro connector

This connector can be run in the cloud or using an on-premises connector server.

The Jamf Pro connector gathers data about devices and software from Jamf Pro.

For information about what data is imported and how it is mapped, see Mapping (below).

IMPORTANT: Before setting up this connector, you need to turn on an option in Jamf Pro that enables basic authentication for the API. Otherwise, the connector will not work as intended. Follow the procedure below to do so.

  1. Log in to your Jamf tenant and click the settings icon.

  2. Go to All Settings and click Jamf Pro User Accounts and Groups.

  3. Click Password Policy, then click Edit.

  4. Under Allow Basic Authentication for the Classic API, enable the Allow Basic authentication in addition to Bearer Token authentication option.

Jamf Pro API authentication does not support the use of SSO for the connector. For more information, see the Jamf Pro documentation Single Sign-On (SSO). See the same documentation for an API overview.

These are application permissions (not delegated permissions).

Options

A Jamf Pro connector has the following options:

  • Connector name: A name for the connector.
  • Connector server name: The name of the connector server that this connector is associated with. When running the connector in the cloud, this server needs to be the Cloud option in the list.

    Each connector can only be associated with one connector server. If you added this connector to a specific connector server (on the Connectors > Connector Servers page), this field will be populated for you. Otherwise, you can select the server from the list.
  • On-Premises or Cloud instance: Select On-Premises if you are hosting the Jamf Pro server in your own environment, or Cloud if it is being hosted in the cloud.
  • Jamf Pro URL or server name: The URL or server name for your instance of Jamf Pro.
  • Username and Password: Credentials to access Jamf Pro.
  • Device threshold: To limit the amount of data that is gathered for Neurons, set a threshold for a specific number of days. The connector will only import devices that have checked in or changed during that time.
  • Repeats: How often the connector should gather data.
  • Start time: The time of day the connector should start running. To minimize the impact on your network and applications, we recommend that connectors generally run at night or on weekends.
  • Active: Whether the connector is active or not. While the connector is active, it runs according to the schedule you create. If you clear the check box, the connector is inactive and will not gather data until the check box is enabled again and the connector is saved.

For details on configuring or using connectors, see Setting up connectors.
