Configuring Cloudflare WARP Agent on macOS devices

Introduction

Cloudflare is a global cloud-based platform that provides security, performance, and reliability services for websites, applications, and networks. It acts as a reverse proxy between your users and your servers, helping to protect and accelerate your internet traffic.

The following article will help you deploy the WARP Client application on your managed macOS devices.

Step 1: Publishing the Custom Payload

The following Payload is designed to enforce specific security and system settings related to Cloudflare WARP Client on managed macOS devices.

               </dict>
           </array>
       </dict>
   </plist>

   1. In the payload, enter the PayloadUUID wherever (YOUR_PAYLOAD_UUID_HERE) is used. You can find out the PayloadUUID by running the command uuidgen, which will  generate a value for PayloadUUID.

   2. Update your organization's string (YOUR_TEAM_NAME_HERE) with your team name.

   3. In addition, you can modify the file with your desired deployment parameters.

2. Follow our guide on how to add the Custom Payload in the Device Profile & deploy it to devices.

3. On the device, you should see the following custom payload in the Profiles section in System Preferences.
   

   

Note:

1. The Payload and its contents are sourced from various albeit authenticated Apple Developer communities and forums, and other sources.

2. Please validate them on a test machine before deploying them on all your managed devices.

3. Scalefusion has tested these Payloads, however, Scalefusion will not be responsible for any loss of data or system malfunction that may arise due to the incorrect usage of these payloads.

Step 2: Installing the software using the PKG

1. Download the WARP Client pkg file from the following Link.

2. Once you have WARP client PKG, upload the PKG to the Enterprise store.
   

   

3. Follow our guide to upload & publish the PKG using the Scalefusion Dashboard.

4. By completing this step, you deliver the WARP client to targeted macOS devices.
