Deploying Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012
• First, select the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) which the Parallels Proxy and Mac clients will use
to communicate with management points and distribution points. To use PKI, select the
HTTPS option. If you don't want to use PKI, select the HTTP option. If your distribution
points and/or management points are configured to use HTTPS, then the HTTP option will
not be available.
• The Certificate Authority field is automatically populated with the name of a Certificate
Authority detected by the wizard. To specify a different Certificate Authority, click the
Browse button.
• The Parallels Proxy certificate template field is used to specify a certificate template for
the Parallels Proxy. Click the Browse button to select a template. If the PKI preparation was
done properly, you should see the Parallels Proxy certificate template that you created
during the preparation stage.
• The Mac client certificate template field is used to specify a certificate template for Macs.
Click the Browse button to select a template. If the PKI preparation was done properly, you
should see the Mac template that you created during the preparation stage. Please note
that if PKI integration was configured previously on this site and you change the Mac
certificate template now, the new Macs will be assigned to the site using the new templates;
the previously assigned Macs will continue using the certificates issued with the old
template.
If this Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy has already been configured not to use PKI and if
there are Macs already assigned to the site, then the Proxy certificate will be re-issued.
10 Role-based security. This page allows you to configure the Configuration Manager Proxy role-
based access control. The roles are created during the Parallels Mac Management installation
and include the following:
• Administrator. This role provides access to all of the available Configuration Manager Proxy
functions, including Mac registration, Mac management via the Configuration Manager
console, problem monitoring functions, and others.
• Problem Monitor. This role provides access to the Parallels Mac Management problem
monitoring functions. Problem Monitor is a service that monitors the system in real time for
possible problems. Members of this role are allowed to use problem monitoring functions,
including running the Problem Monitor, viewing reports, deleting reports, and others. See
Using Problem Monitoring Utility (p. 113) for more info.
• Enrolle
rs. This role provides access to the Mac registration functionality. A Mac computer
must be registered with the Configuration Manager Proxy before it can be managed via the
Configuration Manager console. Members of this role are allowed to run the Mac
registration utility on a Mac and register it with the Configuration Manager Proxy. See Using
Mac Client Installation Program and Script (p. 44) for more info.
