dod.mobileconfig

TL;DR Download the dod.mobileconfig asset from the latest release page, and install it on your system.

dod.mobileconfig is an automated tool designed to simplify the process of trusting Department of Defense (DoD) websites on macOS devices. This tool automatically downloads the latest DoD PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Certificate Authority (CA) certificates, extracts them, and incorporates them into a .mobileconfig file. This file can then be used to easily configure macOS devices to trust all websites with certificates signed by the DoD CA.

Features

• Automatic Updates: Utilizes GitHub Actions to periodically check for and download the latest DoD CA certificates.
• Seamless Integration: Extracts and embeds certificate data directly into the .mobileconfig file, ensuring macOS devices can seamlessly trust DoD-signed websites.
• Easy Deployment: Generates a downloadable .mobileconfig file, making it easy to distribute and deploy across macOS devices.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• macOS device for testing and deployment
• Python 3.x installed on your system (for local script execution)
• Git installed on your system (for cloning the repository)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dod.mobileconfig.git
   cd dod.mobileconfig

2. (Optional) Run the script locally: If you wish to manually run the script to generate the .mobileconfig file, ensure you have the required Python packages installed:

   pip install requests beautifulsoup4
   python process_certs.py

Usage

The primary method of using this tool is through its automated GitHub Actions workflow, which runs daily to check for new certificates. However, you can manually trigger the workflow or run the script locally if needed.

To deploy the generated .mobileconfig file:

1. Download the latest dod.mobileconfig from the project's Releases page.
2. Distribute and install the .mobileconfig file on macOS devices as needed. This can typically be done via email, a web download, or through MDM (Mobile Device Management) solutions.
3. Once installed, you must go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Profiles, double-click the profile, and install it.
