casper imaging: no prompt for login

Hi Nate,

I believe Kumaresh posted that since NetBoot/NetInstall gives you root access, the Casper Imaging application will launch without authentication...but for it to communicate with JSS, you still need to enter a valid JSS account that has privs to image.

thanks!

You need to do this when you create your netboot image using net install creator I think.

Correct, if you are running as root there is no prompt for local admin
rights to run Casper Imaging. Also, if you store autorun data there would
be no prompt for JSS credentials either, if you have it checked to
automatically image.

If you are using a Restore image that doesn't login as root, but as a
different user account (which is probably good), you need to edit the
information in autorun for that as well on the install tab in the web
interface. "Local Authentication to Allow Casper Imaging to run
automatically"

that's what i thought but saw no option for this with the netboot image creator 3.2 app.
