rtrouton / SecureToken and sysadminctl in 10.13 (based on 10.13.2)
Created December 14, 2017 01:24 — forked from zoocoup/SecureToken and sysadminctl in 10.13 (based on 10.13.4)
sysadminctl is a tool Apple introduced in 10.10 for working with system user accounts. In 10.13,
sysadminctl is Apple's recommended tool for working with user accounts in the CLI, replacing functionality
that has long been provided by dscl and adds new features available only in 10.13.
sysadminctl can be used to change user passwords, create new users (including automatically provisioning
the user home folder) or check the status of a new-to-10.13 security feature named SecureToken.
SecureToken is a user attribute like password type or user home location. SecureToken is not publicly
documented by Apple so it is not possible to provide a full technical description, but in practice one
needs only to know if a user has SecureToken or not. Having SecureToken set signifies that a user can
unlock a FileVault-encrypted volume. Without the SecureToken bit on a user account, that user will not

                Regex looks for all Mac models compatible with macOS Sequoia. May not be up-to-date with newly released models.

          1) Exact regex — Matches major model identifier numbers based on Apple's knowledge base article (more accurate):
        

        

          
          

        

        

          
          ^(Mac(1[345]|BookPro1[5-8]|BookAir(9|10)|Pro7)|iMac(Pro1|(19|2[01]))|Macmini[89]),\d+$
        

        

          
          

        

        

          
          2) Current or higher regex — Matches model identifiers based on Apple's knowledge base article and may match higher versions before this regex is updated (more future-proof).
