The OpenHound Jamf collector is the SpecterOps-supported tool for retrieving Jamf Pro tenant data for BloodHound.

<Note>
  If you are evaluating collector options for the Jamf extension, this is the recommended path. An alternative collector ([JamfHound](https://github.com/SpecterOps/JamfHound)) also exists, but this documentation focuses specifically on the OpenHound-based collector.

## Authentication options

The OpenHound Jamf collector supports two authentication methods against the Jamf API:

* [API client (recommended)](/openhound/collectors/jamf/collect-data#api-client-recommended): Authenticate with a Jamf API client using the OAuth client credentials flow. This approach avoids tying collection to a user account and is the preferred option for production environments.
* [Username and password](/openhound/collectors/jamf/collect-data#username-and-password): Authenticate with a Jamf user account. Pair this method with the Auditor role in Jamf to follow least privilege.

## Next steps

* Choose an authentication method and assign an appropriate Jamf role
* Review [Configure the collector](/openhound/collectors/jamf/collect-data)
* Import the resulting data with the [Jamf OpenGraph extension](/opengraph/extensions/jamf/getting-started)
