Add an Enable/Disable Menu Option in Umbrella Roaming Client OS X

Introduction

This document describes how to add a manual disable/enable option to the Umbrella Roaming Client menu bar on macOS for testing and troubleshooting.

Feature Availability

• The manual disable and enable menu option is only available for macOS.
• Windows users can disable the Umbrella Roaming Client manually, but there is no option to add a menu item in the tray icon dropdown.

1. Download the Umbrella roaming client from the dashboard.
2. Extract the.zipfile and open theOrgInfo.plistfile with a text editor.
3. Add these two lines immediately before the last two lines of the file (</dict> and</plist>). Ensure the indentation matches the other values.
   
   

<key>EnableDisableOption</key>
<true/>

4. Save the file.
5. Install the Umbrella Roaming Client as usual.

Post-Installation Method

Use this method if the Umbrella roaming client is already installed and you want to add the disable/enable option without reinstalling.

Caution: You must use "sudo", because modifying the file requires administrative privileges.

1. Open this file usingvimor another text editor with administrative privileges:
   

   sudo vim /Library/Application\ Support/OpenDNS\ Roaming\ Client/Updater.plist

   <key>EnableDisableOption</key>
   <true/>

3. Save the file.

After saving, the Disable option appears in the tray icon. When disabled, the text updates to show the Umbrella Roaming Client is disabled and provides an option to enable it.
