You can track app and user status settings via Self Service+'s (formerly the Jamf Connect menu bar app) state settings. These settings are stored in the com.jamf.connect.state preference domain and include the following:

  • User information

    User attributes, such as a user's display name from the cloud identity provider (IdP) and their email address.

  • Password information

    Details about a user's password settings, such as their password expiration date or password complexity requirements found in Active Directory.

  • App information

    Details about Self Service+ processes, such as if the app has been opened by the user and timestamps of the last sign-in or app notification.

    To read Self Service+ state settings on a computer, execute the following command:

    defaults read com.jamf.connect.state

Keep the following in mind when viewing Self Service+ state settings:

  • State settings should not be configured or edited by users. Manual changes to these settings may cause unintended behavior in Self Service+.

  • State settings are obtained from your organization's cloud identity provider (IdP) or Active Directory domain. Values that cannot be found by Self Service+ will not be available in the state settings preference domain.
