    The following settings may be applicable:

    • Enabled—This setting enables Jamf Pro to generate the list of software titles hosted on the patch source and allows the title to be automatically updated.

    • Use SSL—You must enable this setting if your environment is configured with a TLS certificate and is sending traffic over HTTPS from your patch external source.

    • Validate Software Title Definitions—This setting ensures that software titles are signed by a publicly trusted certificate before they are downloaded from the server. If this setting is enabled and a software title is not signed, Jamf Pro does not download the title.

  5. Click Save .

Jamf Pro can now download and display the software titles available on the source.
