Class: JSS::DistributionPoint

Inherits:
APIObject show all
Defined in:
lib/jss/api_object/distribution_point.rb,
lib/jss.rb

Overview

A 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 JSS::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 JSS::DistributionPoint object for your local IP address.

Once you have an instance of JSS::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.

Constructor Details

#initialize(args = {}) ⇒ DistributionPoint

As well as the standard :id, :name, and :data, you can instantiate this class with :id => :master, in which case you’ll get the Master Distribution Point as defined in the JSS. An error will be raised if one hasn’t been defined.

You can also do this more easily by calling JSS.master_distribution_point

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 JSS.stdin

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

#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.

Parameters:

  • pw (String) (defaults to: '') —

    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) —

    should we try the http download first, if enabled? If you’re intentionally using the ro password for filesharing, and want to check only filesharing, then set this to false.

Returns:

  • (FalseClass, Symbol) —

    false if not reachable, otherwise :http or :mountable
