Generate Configuration Profiles

Allen Golbig edited this page May 23, 2023 · 11 revisions

Adding the -p flag to the generate-guidance.py script will generate configuration profiles and the corresponding plists for the rules that have the mobileconfig set to true in the rules YAML file.

mobileconfig: true
mobileconfig_info:
  com.apple.security.smartcard:
    enforceSmartCard: true
Generate Unsigned Configuration Profiles
➜  macos_security git:(ventura) ./scripts/generate_guidance.py -p build/baselines/800-53r5_moderate.yaml

Adding the -H flag to the generate-guidance.py script will generate signed configuration profiles as well as unsigned for viewing. In order to sign the profiles, the certificate subject key ID and not the SHA-1 hash of the code signing certificate must be provided.

Get the Subject Key ID for Signing
skid=$(security find-certificate -c "CodeSigning Certificate Name" -p | openssl asn1parse | awk -F: '/X509v3 Subject Key Identifier/ {getline; print $1}')
security find-certificate -c "CodeSigning Certificate Name" -p | openssl asn1parse -strparse $skid | awk -F: '/HEX DUMP/{print $4}'
