Deploying SmartPAC to iPads using JAMF Now MDM
To deploy SmartPAC to iPads using JAMF Now, first you will need to build a .mobileconfig file using Apple Configurator (Mac) or iMazing (PC).
- Open Apple Configurator, click File > New Profile (Command or Control + N), and name the profile Securly SmartPAC
- On the left side, find the Certificates tab, and click continue.
- Upload the SSL certificate: securly_ca_2034.der
- Next, click the Global HTTP Proxy tab on the left, and Configure.
- Change Proxy Type to Auto and paste your SmartPAC URL in the Proxy PAC URL field. (The SmartPAC URL can be found by an Admin in Securly Filter > Settings > General)
- Click File > Save
Next, sign in as an admin at https://login.jamfnow.com/
- Navigate to Manage > Blueprints. It is recommended to test the SmartPAC with a single device before scoping it to the entire fleet.
- Create or Select a Blueprint for testing, click Custom Policies > Add a Custom Policy, and upload the Securly SmartPAC config file.
- Click the three dots on the appropriate Blueprint and click Sync
For testing:
- Visit unsafewebsite.com, which should trigger a block page.
- If you see a purple screen, check the iPad > Settings > General > VPN and Device Management > JAMF Now > Restrictions, scroll to the bottom of the page to ensure the Global HTTP Proxy setting displays the SmartPAC URL
- Perform a Google search to ensure proper functionality.
If a connection error occurs, visit www.securly.com/ssl, which will verify the presence of the SSL Certificate.
