Configuring the Firewall for Your Policies – Addigy

Prerequisites

Before you can deploy an MDM Configuration to manage Firewall, you'll need to configure the Addigy MDM Profile for the policy where you'll be enforcing Firewall.

You can find more instructions for enabling MDM here: Addigy Mobile Device Management (MDM) Integration.

Creating the Firewall MDM Configuration

1. From the Policies page, first, click on the Catalog at the top right corner, then click on MDM Configurations, and then finally select Add Configuration:

2. From here, scroll down to macOS and then select the Security & Privacy payload:

3. Give the configuration a name, click on the Firewall tab and toggle Manage Firewall Settings and Enable Firewall. You can also set up any other settings you'd like configured here as well:

4. Finally, click Create Configuration. If you are editing an existing payload, you will also have to click Review Changes and Confirm Changes at the bottom of the window. Once this is saved, you can add this item to a policy.

Note: Only add one Security & Privacy payload per policy. If there are multiple payloads of the same type being deployed to devices, the settings will conflict.

For more information on adding items to a policy for deployment, you can refer to our article Configuring and Deploying a Policy.
