Properties

NameTypeDescription
EncryptCertPayloadUUID Requiredstring

The UUID of a payload within the same profile that contains a certificate used to encrypt the recovery key when it’s sent to the redirected URL. The referenced payload must be of type `com.apple.security.pkcs1`.

RedirectURL Requiredstring

The URL to which FDE recovery keys should be sent instead of to Apple. The URL must begin with https://.

Discussion

Specify com.apple.security.FDERecoveryRedirect as the payload type.

Although the previous FDE Recovery payload is no longer supported in macOS 10.13 and later, it’s still supported in macOS 10.9 through 10.12. When installed, this payload causes any FDE recovery keys to be redirected to the specified URL instead of being sent to Apple. This requires sites to implement their own HTTPS server to receive the recovery keys through a POST request.

Note these cautions:

  • The payload must exist in a system-scoped profile.

  • Installing more than one payload of this type per machine results in an error.
