[Casper] Hidden SSH account

[Ernst, Craig S.]

As always on a managed machine you can see the jamf binary commands and there options by going into terminal on a managed machine and typing:

/usr/sbin jamf help

Or just

Jamf help

Tom, I just want to make sure I'm understanding the comment below. Are you talking about the option for "Ensure that Computers Imaged with this Configuration are managed". If that's configured it will create the hidden account? Or what are you referring to. I wasn't under the impression it did that, actually created the account, unless that was something new in 6.0. That option merely stored that account information in the JSS for that machine so it knew how to connect with the remote tools.

I know that if a machine has existing autorun data, imaging using prestaging, or when you are using Casper Imaging to image the computer you can enter that information into the Accounts tab. However, I don't think those options hide the account like the -hiddenUser switch does using the binary.

I've always kept a current copy of the binary around on a network share to run that command, but if there was an easier way that'd be cool...sort of.

Thanks,

Craig E

Better yet also add the ssh account into your configuration from Casper Admin as well.
