What is the proper format to the xml payload sent to /JSSResource/computers/id/{id}? Do I send only <extension_attribute>? Do I send the entire XML set with just the changes needed?



Here is a representation of a curl call that I'm trying (from Postman):



curl -X PUT 

  'https://Your.Server.Name:8443/JSSResource/computers/id/4?id=4' 

  -H 'Authorization: Basic dGVAFAVADdaVAVaZXM=' 

  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' 

  -H 'Content-Type: text/xml' 

  -d '  <extension_attributes>

    <extension_attribute>

      <id>2</id>

      <name>OU</name>

      <type>String</type>

      <value>OUT STRING</value>

    </extension_attribute>

  </extension_attributes>

'


Which produces this:



<p style="font-size: 1.2em;font-weight: bold;margin: 1em 0px;">Bad Request</p>
<p>Error in XML file</p>


Many thanks!

Still no luck but, after referencing this https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/5476/api-put-extension-attributes.



Which now shows...



<p style="font-size: 1.2em;font-weight: bold;margin: 1em 0px;">Conflict</p>
<p>Error: Not authorized for a user PUT</p>

You are trying to update the text in an extension attribute for a device?

I'm trying up updated (or add) to extension_attribute in a collections of managed Mac.



And it turns out with a bit more digging, I was able to make some headway.



Assuming the following as a payload, I am able to inject data.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><computer><extension_attributes> <attribute> <name>AD-OU</name> <value>I CAN PUT THE OUT HERE</value> </attribute></extension_attributes></computer>
