Installing Cisco Umbrella Roaming Client on MacOS

Has anyone utilized BigFix to push Cisco Umbrella Roaming Client on Mac?
I’m not extremely knowledgeable on Mac installs, specifically with action script.

Along with the .pkg file, there is a .plist file that needs to be present and represents the Orginfo.

Cisco provides some install commands (https://docs.umbrella.com/deployment-umbrella/docs/appendix-g-command-line-and-customization-for-installation#deploymacos) but implementing them in the action script is a little confusing.

These are the commands in the url specified:

First, you must create a folder on the computer:

sudo mkdir “/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client/”

Then, copy the OrgInfo.plist file—found in the downloaded Roaming Client .zip file—to the new location.

sudo cp OrgInfo.plist “/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client/”

following command with the actual version number/filename:

sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /path/to/RoamingClient_MAC_#.#.##.pkg -target /

For actionscript, it would be something like:

prefetch RoamingClient_MAC.pkg ????? prefetch stuff ????

folder create "/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client"
delete "/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client/OrgInfo.plist"
copy __Download/OrgInfo.plist "/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client/OrgInfo.plist"

wait /usr/sbin/installer -pkg __Download/RoamingClient_MAC.pkg -target /

But you would probably want to use a createfile command or similar to create the OrgInfo.plist… otherwise prefetch it. I can help with the createfile option if I know kind of what it looks like, but it should be mostly just copy and paste the contents of the file inside a createfile command.

Content of Orginfo.plist (sensitive info modified):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>APIFingerprint</key>
	<string>123456789</string>
	<key>APIOrganizationID</key>
	<string>98765432</string>
	<key>APIUserID</key>
	<string>11111132</string>
	<key>InstallMenubar</key>
        <true/>
</dict>
</plist>

In that case, just put the createfile command after the prefetch and before the copying of this file over, like this:

prefetch RoamingClient_MAC.pkg ????? prefetch stuff ????

delete __createfile
delete __Download/OrgInfo.plist

createfile until _END_OF_FILE_
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

	<key>APIUserID</key>
	<string>11111132</string>
	<key>InstallMenubar</key>
        <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
_END_OF_FILE_

copy __createfile __Download/OrgInfo.plist

folder create "/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client"
delete "/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client/OrgInfo.plist"
copy __Download/OrgInfo.plist "/Library/Application Support/OpenDNS Roaming Client/OrgInfo.plist"

wait /usr/sbin/installer -pkg __Download/RoamingClient_MAC.pkg -target /
