python-jss Change Log

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

2.1.1 - date 2021-03-26

Added

  • Write session cookie to temp file and re-load the cookie for each request. This is an attempt to fix the long-standing issue of multiple requests in succession going to different Jamf Cloud cluster nodes and therefore not getting the correct response because sync across cluster nodes takes up to a minute.
  • Changed the mount point from /Volumes to /Users/Shared. This is to address failing mount points on macOS Big Sur.

Changed

  • To address a PI in Jamf Pro, don't fail on a 502 response, just print a warning.
  • To address problems with long requests timing out with a 504 Bad Gateway error, just print a warning but don't fail.

2.1.0 - date 2020-01-20

Added

  • Retained compatibility with AutoPkg 1.x (Python 2) while adding compatibility for AutoPkg 2.x (Python 3).
  • Added $ to safe characters in URLs to allow hidden shares (#169).

Changed

Security

  • urllib3 dependency version bumped to mitigate vulnerability.

2.0.1 - 2018-09-22 - The master and the student

Added

  • Completely new test suites from the ground up using pytest, using docker containers to test functionality such as Distribution Points and temporarily standing up / tearing down JAMF Pro servers for groups of test cases.
  • Added the JCDS Distribution Point type. This distribution point type takes no configuration parameters except the type key. The JCDS type retrieves information about your jamfcloud instance and uploads packages directly instead of the /dbfileupload endpoint which should improve speed and reliability.
  • Added a new transport adapter NSURLSessionAdapter to perform native API HTTP transfers on macOS. This was to work around the TLS1.2 issue and is largely superseded by the default Requests Adapter.
  • Add support for the new JAMF Pro API (working, but incomplete).
  • Add support for Patch feature via PatchAvailableTitle, PatchExternalSource, PatchInternalSource, PatchReport, PatchSoftwareTitle and PatchPolicy.
  • Allow JCDS distribution point type to get files via the legacy Casper.jxml API.
  • JCDS distribution point type has a multi-threaded implementation as well as a single threaded one.
  • Begun the AWS repo type, which will establish a direct connection to Amazon S3 via the boto library.
  • Python 3.x and 2.x compatibility.
  • Developer notes on how to set up the pytest environment.
  • Added add_script and remove_package methods to the Policy object.

Changed

  • The JSS object now uses the Content-Type of the response from the API to determine how it should decode the response. This was necessary to support the new UAPI/JAMF Pro API.
  • Add more empty data keys to OSXConfigurationProfile to make creating new instances easier.
  • Add more empty data keys to ComputerExtensionAttribute.
  • Add more empty data keys to Computer.
  • Add more empty data keys to NetworkSegment.
  • The main package is now built using munkipkg instead of The Luggage.

Removed

  • Nose based test suites.
  • RequestsAdapter, because we are now using requests directly.
  • TLSAdapter, because we do not have the TLS1.2 problem.

Fixed

  • LDAPServer incorrectly tried to use PUT to create new objects because the implementation of the id property was incorrect.

2.0.0 - 2017-03-19 - Start Choppin'

Added

  • Added CurlAdapter, ResponseAdapter, and RequestsAdapter to wrap curl in requests' API. This is primarily to deal with the fact that Apple's shipped OpenSSL is extremely out of date (requests uses pyopenssl, which uses the out-of-date OpenSSL). Since current recommendations from Jamf are to run the Casper server using only TLS1.2, this puts us in a bind. So, by default, python-jss will now use curl for networking. Developers seeking the advantages of using requests can replace the networking adapter they want to use (see jss.jamf_software_server.JSS).
  • @mosen really stepped up and provided Sphinx documentation! This is a great motivator for getting some improved documentation going for this project.
  • JSSObject and all of its subclasses can now be used as a context manager (the python with statement). All this does is automatically tries to save the object automatically on the way out of the with context.
  • Added Container.__contains__ magic method, which allows you to do things like if some_pkg in some_policy:. Please note, this will find any reference to that object contained within. This may not be what you want, for example, if a computer is in a group's exclusions list but you want to know if it's in the inclusion list. Thankfully, there's a method for that (JSSGroupObject.has_member()).
  • Added JSSObject magic methods for equality and hash. This means you can test whether two Computer objects are the same, for example. You can also now use the objects as keys in a dictionary, or other mapping.
  • Implemented new endpoints and their corresponding objects: AllowedFileExtension, ComputerApplicationUsage, ComputerApplication, ComputerHardwareSoftwareReport, ComputerManagement, HealthcareListener, HealthcareListerRule, JSONWebTokenConfigurations, InfrastructureManager, MobileDeviceHistory, Webhook.
  • Added compression argument to JSS.pickle_all() (defaults to True) to compress pickle output. A lot.
  • Tag access through the . operator for JSSObjects. For example, you can now do computer.configuration_profiles.size.text to reach all the way down the tree to that value.
  • All JSSObjects have a tree() method which will return a nicely indented representation of the tag structure of the object. Use it like this: print a_computer_group.tree().
  • Automatic match search detection for object types that support it. Now you can do j.Computer("MacBook*") instead of j.Computer("match=MacBook*"). Match searches will always return a QuerySet.
  • JSS.version() method now returns the server's version (using the jssuser endpoint.
  • Made the DistributionPoints collection class iterable, so if you do need to operate on individual DPs within, you don't need to fool around with the private collection. (See JSSImporter for an example).
  • Added Script.add_script() to handle XML escaping and adding a script payload to a Script object.

Changed

  • Moved the suppress_warnings preference out of JSS and into the requests adapter. The JSS initialization will accept that keyword argument to ease the (sudden) deprecation, but it just won't do anything. Use the RequestsAdapter.suppress_warnings() method if you need it.
  • Instantiating a JSS object will now default to using the CurlAdapter for networking. Use JSS.mount_networking_adapter() to replace it with the RequestsAdapter and gain things like sessions.
  • The requests library is now not a required dependency. You only need it if you want to import/use the RequestsAdapter.
  • Through some metaprogramming shenanigans, jss.JSS is now about 500 lines shorter, from dynamically creating all of the object search methods. This makes maintenance of this code significantly easier.
  • All object search methods accept keyword arguments (instead of a subset positional argument). Whether the JSS is considered to work with subsetting is recorded as a new attribute on the class (jss.Computer.allowed_kwargs = True for example). This, again, makes it easier to maintain as JAMF adds or removes query features. The search methods docstrings all reflect the level of (considered) support.
  • JSSObjectList is now called a QuerySet, inspired by Django. The old behavior was that the contents were just id/name for each contained object, until you used the "retrieve" method. Now all objects contained within are full JSSObjects.
  • python-jss was using repr and str too casually. Throughout, class' repr has been rewritten to provide a very basic marker of the type, and str has been written to provide the pretty-printing of XML functionality that it had previously. In practice, this means that in the interpreter, developers will have to print x instead of just entering x to see what they have. However, it also means that simply doing x gives easier to read information for QuerySets of items without dumping their entire contents to screen (e.g. j.Computer() results in thousands of lines vomited into your terminal).
  • Renamed some internal classes (JSSContainerObject -> Container, JSSGroupObject -> Group)
  • Container and all of its subclasses (most types of data from the JSS) now use lazy-loading to defer sending a GET method until you actually need the data.
  • All Element objects added to a JSSObject will get converted to the PrettyElement type to enable dot access and pretty printing.
  • Renamed all of the request-failure exceptions by dropping the JSS:
    • JSSGetError -> GetError
    • JSSPutError -> PutError
    • JSSPostError -> PostError
    • JSSDeleteError -> DeleteError

Deprecated

  • JSSObjectList has been renamed to QuerySet and now inherits from it. While it is unlikely that any client code directly references this class, it is worth checking for in your code. It will be remmoved entirely in a future release. Please update code to use the QuerySet API and signature.

Removed

  • All references to the jss_migrated preference has been removed. This is no longer an issue with current and future JSS versions.
  • Scripts stopped being stored on distribution points with the conclusion of version 8, so all distribution point code that did script copying, deletion, existence testing, etc, has been removed.
  • JSSObjectList.retrieve() has been removed as it's no longer needed.
  • JSSObjectList.pickle() and from_pickle(). This code is just cruft; it's just about the same amount of work to pickle it on your own.
  • JSSObjectFactory was removed as it is no longer needed. Client code should use getattr if it needs to dynamically choose which class to use.
  • JSSDeviceObject was removed as it was no longer needed. It only added a udid and serial_number method to two subclasses, Computer and MobileDevice. You can access these through . notation now: computer.general.serial_number.text
  • As a result of . access to subelements, all properties doing the same thing have been removed. The vast majority of these were in Policy (e.g. a_policy.computers is now accessed through a_policy.scope.computers).
  • Removed a bunch of spurious internal-use-only exceptions and used the builtin ones that make more sense.

Fixed

  • Made JSS.user and JSS.password proper properties, that will set the attached network adapter appropriately.
  • Unicode and bytes usage throughout has been audited and fixed. For the most part, developers can pass either to classes or methods and when they need to get converted, python-jss will do the right thing.
  • Removed pretty-printing injection from ElementTree.

1.5.0 - 2016-09-12 - Brick House

Added

  • Added optional action argument to Policy.add_package. Now you can specify that you want to "Cache", "Install Cached", or "Install". Uses "Install" by default. (#48)
  • Added CommandFlush object (new endpoint in JSS API).
  • Added LogFlush object (new endpoint in JSS API).
  • Added Patch object.
  • Added VPPAssignment object (untested at this time).
  • Added VPPInvitation object (untested at this time).
  • Added JSSObject.to_string and JSSObject.to_file methods to JSSObject.
  • Added JSSObject.pickle and JSSObject.from_pickle methods.
  • Added JSSObjectList.pickle and JSSObjectList.from_pickle.
  • Added category search to Policy. (#50 Thanks @jlrgraham)
  • Added stub objects. With these new endpoints, the Casper API now allows multiple parameters in a single URL (aside from the subset param). As I have limited development time for this project, these endpoints have stub objects added, but no JSS helper method, testing, or easy import with import jss. The TODO list has an item to add an ability to handle an arbitrary number of keyword arguments to a a GET request to support these new endpoints. Until then, the following objects serve as placeholders:
    • Added ComputerApplication object (untested at this time).
    • Added ComputerApplicationUsage object.
    • Added ComputerHardwareSoftwareReport object (untested at this time).
    • Added ComputerHistory object (untested at this time).

Changed

  • JSSObjectList.retrieve_all now returns a JSSObjectList instead of a list. This is to support being able to pickle/unpickle the contained objects all at once.
  • JSSObject.from_string encodes input to utf-8 now. ElementTree.fromstring doesn't accept unicode, so anything outside of ascii throws an exception. (#44 Thanks @systemheld!)
  • SMB now defaults to port 445 (#51 #53 Thanks @ChrOst)

Fixed

  • Fix file type constants in distribution_point.py to satisfy Requests' requirement for string-type headers (#55 thanks @ftiff!)

1.4.0 - 2015-09-30 - The Final Countdown

Added

  • Added retrieve method to JSSListData, making the retrieval of individual JSSObjectList elements more flexible.
  • Added some argument type checking.
  • Added lots of documentation.
  • Re-enabled the ability to create new objects with the JSS convenience methods (e.g. jss.JSS.Computer)
  • Added and improved the verbose output for HTTP requests.
  • Added a repr to JSSListData so you can now better interact with them.
  • Added the suppress_warnings key to the preference domain and JSSPrefs object.
  • Added an interactive configuration procedure to the JSSPrefs class. If you don't already have a plist file, on instantiation it will prompt your for all configuration information.
  • Added a pre_callback and post_callback parameter to DistributionPoints.copy. This allows you to provide some feedback for long copying operations. In the future, if desired, more may be added to long-running methods like JSSObjectList.retrieve_all().
  • Added a LocalRepository repo type for paths either local or already mounted. Required connection args are "mount_point", "share_name", and if migrated, "jss".
  • Added some public methods to JSSObjectFactory if you're into doing some lower-level object searching and creation.

Changed

  • Optimized JSSObjectList.retrieve_all.
  • Reorganized JSSObject.save method. It was very convoluted. Now it reads better, is more error resistant, and should work exactly the same. Specifically, it assumes that if your JSSObject has no ID, then it is a new object (because only the JSS can assign one) and thus needs to PUT. If it does have an ID, then it POSTs it. Potentially this could be an issue where if you retrieved an object, and then wanted to completely replace it with different data, and then tried to save, it would then be missing the ID and would PUT, creating a new object (or fail because of the name conflict); I don't see that as a real issue though.
  • Removed JSSObject.search since it implements a deprecated Element method that wasn't being used anywhere.
  • Restored requests method of posting FileUploads. Now uses mimetypes to detect file type and uses it in header.
  • JAMF fixed D-008180, where the JSS rejected Packages and policies with a category of "No Category Assigned", even though that's what the JSS supplied in GET requests. This was fixed in JSS v9.7. Therefore, python-jss removed its overriden methods Package.save and Policy.save. It's likely this was broader than just Packages and Policies, but python-jss hadn't implemented or tested other objects.
  • Internal package structure drastically changed to make modules smaller and more manageable.
  • Improved the formatting of JSSObjectList objects.
  • Replaced the Element.repr method with the indenting pretty-printing one that has been in python-jss for awhile now. This allows all non-assigned results from Element subclass methods to pretty-print the XML.
  • Removed the recently added JSSObject.pretty_find as it's no longer needed.
  • Changed the method for creating "new" JSSObjects. Now, generating a blank XML for JSSObjects uses a class attribute data_keys to generate the structure. It allows for setting default values.
    • Now, the __init__ and _new methods accept any of the data_keys as keyword args to be set during creation.
  • Renamed JSSObject.new to JSSObject._new to discourage client use.

Fixed

  • JSSObject.set_bool improved to not have broken string behavior.

1.3.0 - 2015-08-19 - Two Men Enter, One Man Leaves

Added

  • Added the subset feature to object queries that support it. For example Computers allow you to do jss_connection.Computer(None, "basic") for extended list information or jss_connection.Computer("computer-name", "general&purchasing")orjss_connection.Computer("computer-name", ["general", "purchasing"])for subsection retrieval. This should allow you to speed up bigretrieve_all` runs significantly.
  • Added Cloud Distribution Point support. Thanks to @beckf for packet analysis help, and @homebysix for testing. (#22)
  • Added JSSObject.pretty_find. Pretty prints sub-elements of a JSSObject for use in interactive exploration of the JSS.
  • Added option verify to JSSPrefs and the com.github.sheagcraig.python-jss preference domain. If not specified in the preferences, it will assume True.
  • Added property to JSSGroupObject and subclasses for is_smart. Now you can have a regular boolean property and setter for groups.
  • Added method is_member to JSSGroupObject. This allows you to test whether a Computer or MobileDevice object is a member of a group.

Changed

  • New mount technique uses PyObjC rather than subprocess to mount. Thanks to @pudquick for this slick implementation!
    • Solves some Kerberos issues some users were experiencing.
    • For OS X users who are not using the Apple Python, continue to use subprocess to mount.
    • The nobrowse argument to mount is now deprecated, and will do nothing. It will be removed entirely in the future.
    • Verbose prints mount arguments.
  • When viewing object data interactively, the __repr__ now displays simply *data* instead of the full binary data for things like icons and app binaries.

Fixed

  • Encode data arguments to JSS object's get method.
  • Quote data arguments to JSS object's get method, since apparently requests doesn't do this for us.

Removed

  • Removed JSSGroupObject.set_is_smart. (Replaced with @property)

1.2.1 - 2015-07-28 - U0001F49A

Fixed

1.2.0 - 2015-07-21 - Your Cipher is all Over my Necktie

Changed

  • jss.ComputerGroups that are made with the new method now include the computers subelement. Strangely, even smart groups include a computers tag. If previously populated with computer objects, it will retain them!
  • Removed bundled copy of python requests.
  • Using setuptools setup.py property install_requires to specify dependencies:
    • requests
    • pyasn1
    • ndg-httpsclient
    • Previous two required for cipher change support.
  • Updated documentation to describe this requirement for developer (i.e. anyone who does not use the egg or wheel files to install).
  • JSS.base_url (Get and Set) and JSS._url (Read only) are now proper properties.

Fixed

  • Changes the default cipher list for requests/urllib3 to work with recommended changes in JSS >= v9.73.
  • jss.JSS.ssl_verify is now a computed property and will properly update the requests session if changed after instantiation.
  • casper package's Casper class did not use the requests session on the JSS object passed to it.
  • JSS URL's with a trailing slash will be sanitized to remove that slash upon JSS instantiation or base_url update.

1.1.0 - 2015-06-10 - Velvet Nachos

Changed

  • Package.new now sets the boot_volume_required property to true by default.

1.0.2 - 2015-06-10 - When Doves Cry

Fixed

  • MobileDeviceGroup now correctly inherits from JSSGroupObject.

1.0.1 - 2015-05-28 - Blink Dogs Ate My Homework

Fixed

  • Regression in AFP mount failing on OSX when nobrowse=False. (#38) Thanks for the heads up @galenrichards!

1.0.0 - 2015-05-20 - It's a Catapult

Added

  • Adds FileUploads defect number to comments.
  • Add jss.exceptions.JSSError, and all exceptions now subclass it.
  • Add jss.tools for misc. tools. (Right now, shorthand os detection functions).
  • Add Policy.add_object_to_limitations and Policy.add_object_to_exclusions. Thanks to @MScottBlake

Changed

  • Basic interface is in place; Calling this 1.0.0 now.
  • Begin working on Linux functionality.
    • Preferences plist on Linux should be: ~/.com.github.sheagcraig.python-jss.plist and should be a non-binary plist.
    • Mount on OS X has different output format than Linux. Thus, regex searches need to be os-specific.
    • Mounting a share is also different.
  • As this is largely stable code, set major version to 1.

Fixed

  • Copy methods now make use of the is_mounted method for dynamic mount point reconfiguration.
  • Typo in policy scope for building.
  • ComputerGroup.add_criterion fails with AttributeError with pre-existing computer groups. (#34)

0.5.9 - 2015-03-26 - The Pricing is the Message

Changed

  • Passes JSS error messages through when it returns 409: Conflict. Previously thought to be helpful, not passing along the response from the JSS was obfuscating the cause of the conflict. 409 Post and PUT Exceptions will now report back on the (first) error in the XML.

0.5.8 - 2015-03-19 - Echo Sierra Xray India

Fixed

  • Safer regexes present unpredictable mount output from tanking is_mounted method. (jssimporter/JSSImporter#35). Thanks for the heads up @rtrouton!

0.5.7 - 2015-03-17 - Corned Beef and Cabbage

Added

  • Adds tlsadapter.py to subclass requests.HTTPAdapter into using PROTOCOL_TLSv1. Removes need for manually editing each requests release.
  • Adds in extra LDAPServer methods.
    • search_users() searches for users.
    • search_groups() searches for groups.
    • is_user_in_group() tests for group membership by user.

Fixed

  • Mounted distribution points is_mounted method now looks for mounted shares by server, and updates mount point dynamically if it is different than configured. This prevents issues when multiple shares have the same name, or when Casper Admin is open and has mounted them already, with different-than-expected share names. Thanks @eahrold!
  • Mounted distribution points __repr__ corrected to make use of is_mounted.

Changed

  • Updates requests to 2.5.3
  • Mounted repositories' umount now has a forced argument which defaults to True.
  • Mounted repositories' mount_point, due to the dynamic handling above, is no longer made by concatenating the repo name or "JSS" and share name. Thanks @eahrold!

Removed

  • Remove unused requests import in distribution_points.

0.5.6 - 2015-03-06 - Tonkatsu

Fixed

  • Solve regression in JSS >= 9.64 FileUpload API call failing on icon upload with Tomcat Java exception by shelling out to curl.
  • Add list_type for jss.Site so it will properly add itself to other objects. Thanks @MScottBlake. (#29)

0.5.5 - 2015-02-02 - Sanpo Shimasu

Added

  • Added jss.distribution_points.DistributionPoints.delete() and jss.distribution_points.MountedRepository.delete()
  • Added jss.distribution_points.JDS.delete() and jss.distribution_points.JDS.delete_with_casperAdminSave(). The latter is the method used by the Casper Admin app, and is included mostly for reference.

Fixed

  • Automatically configured distribution points (AFP and SMB shares using just name and password) need to pass jss object so jss_migrated is handled correctly. (jssimporter/JSSImporter#19)

Changed

  • Refactored redundent filetype checking to jss.distribution_points.is_package() and jss.distribution_points.is_script().

0.5.4 - 2015-01-29 - Apex Predator

Fixed

  • distribution_points.DistributionPoint did not have id_ arguments.
  • Whitespace cleanup.
  • Migrated JSS with AFP or SMB shares now correctly copies scripts to DB instead of fileshare.
  • AFP and SMB distribution points should require share_name argument.
  • Standardized id_'s in distribution_points to be ints.

0.5.3 - 2014-12-09 - Dress For Success

Added

  • Added script testing to jss.distribution_points.JDS.exists.
  • Added an exception for attempting to upload non-flat packages.
  • Added '.ZIP' as a package file type.
  • Added suppress_warnings parameter to jss.JSS objects to disable urllib3 warnings. Use at your own risk. (jssimporter/JSSImporter#18)

Fixed

  • Non-flat packages cannot be uploaded to JDS'. Now there is a warning message and documentation. (#20)
  • If you haven't configured any DP's through the repo_prefs parameter to the JSS, we shouldn't attempt DistributionPoints.retrieve_all(). Reordered slightly to avoid problems. (#21)
    • No need (unnecessary work)
    • Your API user may not have permissions to do so! Thanks @arubdesu

Changed

  • Tests updated.
  • Moved all exceptions to their own module.

0.5.2 - 2014-12-05 - Brass Monkey

Fixed

  • JDS copy methods were not utilizing the same session as everything else and did not honor SSL settings. Corrected. (#18)

Changed

  • Started working on the nosetests again. This doesn't directly affect users; however, it should help me prevent regressions and should help automate testing things across a variety of different JSS/DistributionPoint types.

0.5.1 - 2014-12-04 - Gold Soundz

Fixed

  • Finally implementing @ocoda suggestions for solving the disabling of SSL in >= JSS v9.61. (jssimporter/JSSImporter#9, #16) #Further behind-the-scenes-measures are being investigated to streamline this edit for the future.
  • Fixed list_type for ActivationCode regression.
  • Fixed DistributionPoints init mistake.

Changed

  • Configuration for a JDS has changed. Now it only requires key: type, value: JDS. See the wiki for complete examples.
    • Old configuration was misleading and/or redundent. Uploading to a JDS actually involves POSTing to the JSS, using the JSS' URL, and a correctly privileged API user, NOT the JDS' URL or WebDAV R/W accounts.
  • Implemented missing API objects:
    • BYOProfile
    • ComputerConfiguration
    • IBeacon. PEP8 wins over Apple 'iFoolishness' for naming.
    • MacApplication
    • VPPAccount

0.4.4 - 2014-12-03 - Welcome to the Terrordome

Fixed

  • Included submodules should now properly handle TLS for JSS v9.6.1 or later. (jssimporter/JSSImporter#9, #16)
  • JSSObject.save() has been reworked to safely handle all permutations of PUT and POST abilities on objects. For example, ComputerInvitations can only POST, not PUT, and did not work correctly.
  • All tests in the test suite are passing again. This is of course set up to work on our testing server only.

Changed

  • JSS objects will now have a DistributionPoint property JSS.distribution_points even if no repos are configured. This makes it easier to add in after the fact.
  • Updated requests to 2.5.0.
  • JSSObject.save() now has better error reporting.

Known issues

  • See #15. Objects that can potentially have a category, but have none, fail to save. This is almost certainly related to how the JSS interprets the changed value of nil categories (was "Unknown", now "No category assigned"). This has been solved by overriding the save method on Policies and Packages until they fix it. Please let me know if you come across others.

0.4.3 - 2014-12-01 - Anti-Corruption Sauce

Fixed

  • JDS repos can now upload packages and scripts. Thanks to @beckf for sorting out the dark magic in the packets. (#5)

Changed

  • Identified eBooks as file type 1 and in mobile apps as file type 2 for dbfileupload parameters. This may not be the appropriate place to house these functions, but for those who need it, the JDS._copy() method can now upload eBooks and mobile apps. Please feel free to experiment and clue me in to how to make it work better.
  • Research also showed that there are two viable methods for uploading to a JDS. We will stick with the existing method for the time being.

0.4.2 - 2014-11-25 - Eyebrow Floss

I did a quick update to include an egg installer on pypi.org. This was needed to support the jss-autopkg-addon installer.

Changed

  • AFP and SMB shares' URL variable should not include a prefixed protocol. Now, python-jss removes any preceding afp:// or smb:// from URL preferences just to be safe. Thanks @eahrold. (#13)

Fixed

  • Repos input variables port and domain were incorrectly pulled from preferences. This has been corrected. Thanks @eahrold. (jssimporter/JSSImporter#11)

0.4.1 - 2014-11-25 - Postpartum Fixapalooza

Changed

  • Updates bundled Requests to 2.4.3.
  • Mounted repositories now use the force flag to unmount. If this troubles anyone, let me know and I'll make it an option. (#10)

Fixed

  • AFP and SMB file shares did not properly escape password characters. Thanks @eahrold for the fix. (#4)
  • AFP shares were defaulting to the incorrect port (139). Now defaults to 548. Thanks @eahrold again! (#8)
  • Requests module not properly referenced in jss.py and distribution_points.py. Big props to @eahrold. (#7)
  • SSLv3 support was dropped in JSS v9.61 to avoid the Poodle attack. Thanks to @ocoda for a solution while we waited for urllib3 (part of requests) to update to solve this problem. (#6)
  • Explicitly configured AFP and SMB sharepoints, despite the documentation, needed a name. This is now properly set as optional. If left out, a generic name with an incremented numeric suffix will be used.

Known issues

  • JDS distribution points can upload scripts and packages, but they are getting corrupted with HTML multipart boundaries because the requests are not being made quite right. This should be solved soon.

0.4 - 2014-11-02 - Mayonnaise-Olive Parfait

Added

  • Adds class casper. This class pulls the information returned from POSTing to the undocumented casper.jxml. At some point I would like this to allow for automatic configuration of all repository information (provided an authentication by a privileged user). However, due to its undocumented nature, I don't want to rely on it until I can get some confirmation from JAMF that this is 'OK'.
  • Adds class JDS to module distribution_points. (#1)
    • Can copy packages/DMG's.
    • Can copy scripts, although it is currently broken.
      • Scripts include HTML form boundaries... Working on this.
    • Has a limited .exists() method.
    • Has a more thorough .exists_with_casper() method that uses the undocumented casper.jxml/casper-module.
  • class DistributionPoints now adds JDS type DP's.
  • DistributionPoints now have helper methods to add and remove a DistributionPoint.

Known issues

  • JDS distribution points can upload scripts and packages, but they are getting corrupted with HTML multipart boundaries because the requests are not being made quite right. This should be solved soon.

Changed

  • DistributionPoints.__repr__ factored into DistributionPoint and children.
  • New option to fully declare distribution point connection information in the preference file or at JSS or DistributionPoints instantiation time.
    • Shares will now only be included if they are defined in the list of repos. (Previously, it would try to match all DP's from .distributionpoints to a config option).
    • AFP or SMB shares declared in the previous style, with just a name and password will still get the rest of the information from the server.
    • You may now specify these connection properties explictly.
    • JDS' must be configured with explicit properties.
    • See docstrings for the different types of DistributionPoint for required keys.
  • DistributionPoint subclasses will now let you know what config information you left out.
  • DistributionPoints and DistributionPoint subclasses now have an optional argument id_ for supporting JDS copy methods.
    • Ignored by non-JDS DP's.
    • Can be used to copy a package/script to an existing package object rather than creating a new one (the default, of -1 makes a new object).
  • Moved documentation from README to wiki.

0.3.11 - 2014-10-08 - Offal Sliders 2

Fixed

  • Except I screwed it up. Now FileUploads is squared away.

0.3.10 - 2014-10-08 - Offal Sliders

Fixed

  • FileUploads were sent using a non-session request because I couldn't get it working with a session. I got it working with a session.
  • FileUploads non-session request lacked the verify parameter, thus, even if SSL verification was turned off in the JSS object, it still tried to verify SSL.

0.3.9 - 2014-09-03 - Chorizo

Fixed

  • Fix resource name when using FileUpload. Previous behavior was to give resource the full upload path as a name. Switched to just os.path.basename()

Added

  • Add method DistributionPoints.exists() for testing for the existence of a script/pkg across all distribution points.

0.3.7 - 2014-08-29 - Hot Dog Sundae

Added

  • Add module distribution_points. Provides:
    • DistributionPoints to handle copying packages and scripts across all configured repositories.
    • Distribution points are automatically configured (except for password until I can figure out the hashing) based on your JSS's data.
    • copy copies a file to the directory indicated by the file extension (.pkg, .dmg to Packages, everything else to Scripts) of all distribution points.
    • copy_pkg copies a .pkg or .dmg to the Packages directory of all distribution points.
    • copy_script copies a script to the Scripts directory of all distribution points.
    • Distribution points are mounted prior to copy operations if they aren't already.
    • AFPRepository, SMBRepository, HTTPRepository, HTTPSRepository, and JDSRepository. (Only AFP and SMB implemented currently-HTTP(S) and JDS coming soon.)
    • mount (Has option to mount -o nobrowse, so disk doesn't appear in GUI)
    • umount

Changed

  • Add handling of repos preference key in com.github.sheagcraig.python-jss.plist. See README.
  • JSS objects now have a DistributionPoint property included at init time, so you don't need to instantiate one. Just delegate!

0.3.5 - 2014-08-21 - Retcon Cheese Sauce

Changed

  • Implemented FileUpload. They are kind of unique in the way they operate, so check the docstring for more info.

0.3.4 - 2014-08-08

Notes

  • The interface will stay the same now. Only new features and fixes from here on out.

Added

  • Add __version__ property to module. Use for version checking if needed.

0.3.3 - 2014-07-31

Changed

  • Reorganized JSSObject.save() logic to try to update first. Trying to create a new object first with existing objects results in a name conflict exception, which you then have to catch. But when you DO have a name conflict, you really would like to know. This saves the need to wrap save calls in a try/except for updating existing objects. E.g. batch_scope verb of jss_helper.

0.3.2 - 2014-07-29

Fixed

  • Fixed error where pypi packages did not include the cacert.pem file included with requests.

0.3.1 - 2014-07-17

Changed

  • JSS._error_handler() now adds a status_code attribute to exceptions.

Fixed

  • JSSObject.save() was confusing. If you created a new object with JSSObject() that conflicted with an existing object on the JSS, the save would fail with a JSSPutError. Now we check for conflicts and instead return a JSSPostError with a more helpful error message.
  • I mistakenly listed the preference key as jss_password in the README. Now the code and README agree: jss_pass is the correct key.

0.3 - 2014-07-03

Changed

  • Renamed JSSObject.update() to JSSObject.save() to represent its added responsibilities (it can now post new objects as well)
  • Creating new objects has changed as a result
    • To create an object now, use the class constructor with the string argument "name", configure as before, and then save().
    • i.e. 
      policy = Policy(jss_instance, "Install Adventure")
policy.save()

Removed

  • Removed Templates and XMLEditor classes.
    • All editor behaviors / methods moved into appropriate JSSObject subclasses.
    • For example, Policies gain all of their previously inherited PolicyEditor methods.
    • Templates' init methods have become the new() method on objects.
    • Only implemented the existing set of: Category, ComputerGroup, MobileDeviceGroup, Package, Policy
    • SearchCriteria remains an object, although no longer inherits from a template.

0.2.2 - 2014-07-02

Added

  • jss_helper now has a promotion feature... Except see CHANGES below.

Changed

  • XMLEditor.add_object_to_list() now returns the element added.
  • JSSObject.update() now accepts a template as a parameter (defaults to None) to replace instance's data from a template.

Fixed

  • XMLEditor.add_object_to_list() fixed.
  • PolicyEditor.add_package() fixed.
  • JSSObject.update() did not properly update instance's data.

Removed

0.2.1 - 2014-06-25

Added

  • Adds TemplateFromFile and TemplateFromString classes for using external template files and strings.
  • Adds batch_scope feature to jss_helper.
  • Added requests and FoundationPlist to contrib folder of package. No longer need separate installation.

Changed

  • Should now "just work" even if PyObjC/Foundation are not available. (See end of README).
  • Renamed the default preferences file to reference github.

Fixed

  • Should not see SSL handshake errors now. JSS object now has a requests.Session object which prevents having to continually renegotiate. Bonus: It seems to be significantly faster as a result.

Known issues

  • Requests does not automatically handle SNI out of the box for python 2.x. README describes necessary steps to work around this if needed. Thanks to Greg Neagle for pointing this out.

0.2.0 - 2014-06-18

Added

  • Initial release.
