Introduction

It is possible to deploy and manage LucidLink installations on macOS via an MDM solution. In this guide, we will look at the steps necessary to deploy the Filespace Key (or .fskey) using Kandji. 

Workflow Overview

1. Create a Custom App and upload a zipped version of the .fskey
2. Assign the Custom App to a Blueprint or make it available in Self Service

Custom App Setup

1. Navigate to Library > Add New > Custom App > Add & Configure
   
   
2. Complete the following items:
   1. Custom App Name: LucidLink Filespace Keys
   2. Give the Custom App an Assignment of one or many Blueprints.
   3. Execution Frequency: We recommend setting Audit and enforce, so that the .fskey can be deployed ongoing to new macOS users too. Kandji will periodically check-in and run the audit script to decide if the .fskey needs to be deployed.
      
   4. Choose Package Type: Choose Zip
      
   5. Upload Installer: Attach the compressed .fskey .zip here
      
      
   6. Copy and paste all 3 attached scripts (Audit, Preinstall and Postinstall) to their relevant sections.
   7. In the Audit script, you must change the "fskey" variable to match your Filespace key filename.
   8. Save the Custom App.
