Overview

A FileShare Distribution Point in the JSS

As well as the normal Class and Instance methods for APIObject subclasses, the DistributionPoint class provides more interaction with other parts of the API.

Beyond the standard listing methods DistributionPoint.all, .all_ids, etc, every JSS has a single “master” distribution point. The Class method DistributionPoint.master_distribution_point will return the Jamf::DistributionPoint object for that master.

Also, some network segments have specific DistributionPoints assigned to them. Calling the Class method DistributionPoint.my_distribution_point will return a Jamf::DistributionPoint object for your local IP address.

Once you have an instance of Jamf::DistributionPoint, you can mount it (on a Mac) by calling its #mount method and unmount it with #unmount. The Package and possibly Script classes use this to upload items to the master.

NOTE: This class only deals with FileShare Distribution Points. There is no access to the Cloud Distribution Point in the classic API. See the .master_distribution_point and .my_distribution_point class methods for how they handle things when the Cloud DP is the master.

Class Method Details

.master_distribution_point(refresh = false, default: nil, api: nil, cnx: Jamf.cnx) ⇒ Jamf::DistributionPoint

Get the DistributionPoint instance for the master distribution point.

If the Cloud Dist Point is master, then the classic API has no way to know that or access it. In that case you can provide the ‘default:’ parameter. Give it the name or id of any dist. point to be used instead, or give it :random to randomly choose one.

If there are no fileshare dist points defined (the cloud is the only one) then this whole class can’t really be used.

Parameters:

  • refresh (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    should the distribution point be re-queried?

  • default (String, Integer, Symbol) (defaults to: nil)

    Name or ID of a dist point to use if no master is found, or :random to randomly choose one.

  • cnx (Jamf::Connection) (defaults to: Jamf.cnx)

    which API connection should we query?

  else
    fetch default, cnx: cnx
  end
end

.my_distribution_point(refresh = false, default: :master, api: nil, cnx: Jamf.cnx) ⇒ Jamf::DistributionPoint

Get the DistributionPoint instance for the machine running this code, based on its IP address. If none is defined for this IP address, use the name or id provided as default. If no default: is provided, the master dp is used. If no master dp available (meaning its the cloud dp) then use a randomly chosen dp.

Parameters:

  • refresh (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    should the distribution point be re-queried?

  • default (String, Integer, Symbol) (defaults to: :master)

    the name or id of a Dist Point to use if none is specified for this IP addr. Or :master, to use the master DP, or :random to use a randomly chosen one. If :master is specified and there is no master (master is cloud) then a random one is used.

  • cnx (Jamf::Connection) (defaults to: Jamf.cnx)

    which API connection should we query?

Instance Method Details

#check_pw(_user = nil, _pw = nil) ⇒ TrueClass

Deprecated.

The API no longer sends SHA256 hashed password data, and instead only has a string of asterisks, meaning we can no longer use it to validate passwords before attempting to use them. Instead, the processes that use them, e.g. mounting a Dist. Point, will fail on their own if the pw is not valid.

This method remains defined for backward-compatibility with any existing code that calls it. but it will always return true. It will be removed in a future version

Returns Allow the process calling this to continue.

Parameters:

  • user (Symbol)

    ignored

  • pw (String)

    ignored

Returns:

  • (TrueClass)

    Allow the process calling this to continue.

#mount(pw = nil, access = :ro) ⇒ Pathname

Mount this distribution point locally.

Parameters:

  • pw (String, Symbol) (defaults to: nil)

    the read-only or read-write password for this DistributionPoint If :prompt, the user is promted on the commandline to enter the password for the :user. If :stdin#, the password is read from a line of std in represented by the digits at #, so :stdin3 reads the passwd from the third line of standard input. defaults to line 2, if no digit is supplied. see Jamf.stdin

  • access (Symbol) (defaults to: :ro)

    how to mount the DistributionPoint, and which password to expect. :ro (or anything else) = read-only, :rw = read-write

#reachable_for_download?(pw = '', check_http = true) ⇒ FalseClass, Symbol

Check to see if this dist point is reachable for downloads (read-only) via either http, if available, or filesharing.

    the read-only password to use for checking the connection If http downloads are enabled, and no http password is required this can be omitted.

  • check_http (Boolean) (defaults to: true)
