MacOS Mojave – load unsigned kernel extension

kernel-extensionsmacosmojave

in macOS mojave one can't simply load unsgined kexts:

$ sudo kextutil -l /Applications/myapp.app/Contents/Resources/Driver.kext
Untrusted kexts are not allowed

What should I do to be allowed (besides a dev cert..)?

Will these do?:

sudo nvram boot-args=kext-dev-mode=1
csrutil enable --without kext
  • manually allowing via the GUI?

Best Answer

There are two avenues to get the extension whitelisted:

  1. Manage the mac using MDM and follow the steps to have your MDM pre-clear this specific extension.
  2. Open the Security System Preferences and click to white list this extension once you have attempted to load it one time.
