Hi @Morgan!

I recommend trying the steps documented in this KB article: https://help.automox.com/hc/en-us/articles/7454299464340-M1-Secure-Token-Issues-on-Agent-39

The most important part is removing the Automox Service account first, uninstalling the agent, reinstalling, and then re-adding the Automox Service account with the Secure Token Access.

Our Solutions Consultant team also put together a script that can help with automating the process. If you decide to use the script, be sure to input your Automox ACCESSKEY in the script variable.

#!/bin/bash

#================================================================
# HEADER
#================================================================
#  SYNOPSIS
#    Reinstall Automox Agent and Correct Automox Service Account.
#
#  DESCRIPTION
#    This script will reinstall Automox on MacOS with the latest version (1.42.22 at the time of writing.)
#    The purpose of this script it to clear out the Agent and Automox Service Account to correct SecureToken passing.
#	 Once the agent is reinstalled, the user will get prompted to enter their current password securely.
#    If correct, the script will exit 0. If on failure, the script will exit with a code.
#
#
#  REQUIREMENTS
#	1. Your Agent Access Key to add to the Variable below.
#	2. A Configuration Profile deployed to Monterey and Ventura devices allowing Full Disk Access to Terminal, so we may remove the Automox Service Account.
#	3. A third-party deployment solution, as the script will attempt to re-install the agent, which is not recommended with an Automox Worklet.
#   4. The current logged in user needs Administrative access to their machine, however you may bypass this by commenting out "checkAdminStatus" at the beginning of the script.
#		4a. Note: If you comment out the line, the Automox Agent will still reinstall but the Secure Token passing will fail.
#
#  USAGE

# Check to see if the Automox Agent has SecureToken
checkSecureTokenStatus

Note that both methods (the KB article steps and/or the bash script) will require you to run them locally on the device with an administrator account, or be deployed through an MDM. You will not be able to utilize these methods through a worklet.

If you are continuing to experience issues, please open up a Support ticket with our team so they can further assist:  https://help.automox.com/

Have a great day!

Thanks for providing a suggestion @JohnG-Automox

I haven’t had a chance to try it out, but when I do, I will let you know if it was successful.

I have the same issue, I’ve tried manually removing this agent and reinstalling this agent does not seem to work, have tried multiple times. Ticket is still sitting with Automox. This seems to be a consistent pattern through out the Apple Sillicon series 

No updates on this yet

Hi @jasen ,

We have released a new worklet in the Catalog to assist with the provisioning of the Secure Token:

MacOS - Configuration - Enable Apple Silicon Patching

This worklet will ensure that the Automox Service account exists on a device and that the secure token is enabled for it. 

I hope this helps!
