Depending on your UEM or MDM solution, the On Demand rules payload of the DNS Settings profile may or may not be directly editable via the solution's management console.

For Jamf Pro, the On Demand XML settings can be edited in the web app.

  1. Navigate to the Jamf Protect configuration profile you imported during setup.
  2. Click Edit in the lower right.
  3. Select the DNS Settings payload.
  4. Scroll to On-demand rules.
  5. Follow the steps in the sections that follow based on your requirements.

    Keep the following in mind when making these changes:

    • The XML configuration must be free of syntax errors. Jamf recommends using a text editor with an XML validator to ensure your syntax is correct. An invalid profile will fail to be installed or updated on endpoint devices.

    • The On Demand rules are comprised of an array of dictionaries, with evaluation performed from top-down. Therefore, rules at the top of the array will be matched first when the evaluation is taking place.

    • Jamf' strongly recommends making sure the On Demand rules provided through Jamf Security Cloud are retained to ensure service resiliency and fault tolerance. They should be placed after your organization's unique rules.

    • You can customize these configurations as required by your organization. However, support for specialized configurations is not available from Jamf Support.

    Note:
