Source Configuration for Jamf

Jamf Pro Connection Configuration

We offer two configuration options to connect to Jamf Pro:

Username/Password: This is the traditional configuration method for using admin credentials.
Client ID/Client Secret New: Jamf Pro APIs now support Client Credentials-based authorization. This new method grants access exclusively to Jamf Pro APIs, enhancing the security of your Jamf Pro Administrators' credentials.

You will find the step-by-step guide for both options below:

You will need help from the Jamf Admin in your organization for the following configuration.
