Deploying the Proximos Application
Option 1 — Installation Script (recommended): TheInstall or Update Proximos.sh script downloads the latest Proximos DMG directly from Enlazo Systems, mounts it, copies the app to /Applications/Utilities/, and unmounts the DMG. It is safe to run on Macs where Proximos is already installed — it will update to the latest version.
- In Jamf Pro, go to Settings → Computer Management → Scripts → + New.
- On the General tab, give the script a name (e.g., “Install Proximos”).
- On the Script tab, paste the contents of
Install or Update Proximos.shfrom the MDM Scripts bundle. - Click Save.
- Go to Computers → Policies → + New.
- On the General tab, set a display name and configure your preferred trigger (e.g., Enrollment Complete, Recurring Check-in, or Self Service).
- Go to the Scripts payload, click Configure, and add your script.
- Go to the Scope tab and target the appropriate computers or smart groups.
- Click Save.
.pkg installer provided by Enlazo Systems:
- Go to Settings → Computer Management → Packages → + New.
- Upload the Proximos
.pkgfile and click Save. - Go to Computers → Policies → + New, add the package via the Packages payload, scope it, and save.
The installation script is generally preferred over the PKG for Proximos because it always pulls the latest version from Enlazo Systems, ensuring your fleet stays current without requiring a new package upload for each Proximos update.
Deploying Proximos Settings
Configuration Profile: This is the most secure and tamper-resistant approach. The settings are delivered to/Library/Managed Preferences/ where local admins cannot delete them, ensuring Managed Mode is permanent.
- Export your configured settings plist from Settings → Export Settings → Export as .plist… and save it as
com.enlazo.proximos.settings.plist. - In Jamf Pro, go to Computers → Configuration Profiles → + New.
- On the General tab, give the profile a name (e.g., “Proximos Settings”).
- Click Application & Custom Settings in the left payload list.
- Click + Add, then set Source to Upload.
- Click Choose File and select your exported
com.enlazo.proximos.settings.plistfile. - Set the Preference Domain to
com.enlazo.proximos.settings. - Go to the Scope tab and target the appropriate computers or smart groups.
- Click Save.
Deploying the Proximos PPPC Profile
The Full PPPC Profile authorizes Proximos, its bundled notifier, and the Nudge LaunchAgent to function with full system permissions. This profile must be deployed for notifications and enforcement to work correctly.- In Proximos, go to Settings → Extras → Proximos PPPC Profiles → Export Full Profile and save
Proximos PPPC Profile.mobileconfig. - In Jamf Pro, go to Computers → Configuration Profiles → + New.
- On the General tab, give the profile a name (e.g., “Proximos PPPC Profile”).
- Click Upload (in the upper right of the profile editor) and select the
Proximos PPPC Profile.mobileconfigfile. Jamf Pro will parse and import all payloads from the mobileconfig automatically. - Go to the Scope tab and target the appropriate computers or smart groups.
- Click Save.
