Hello all! Long time lurker, first time poster.
Our district decided to give the ACT Aspire test starting in the fall of 2014. We have had to overcome several obstacles with the test and our 1:1 Macbook Air deployment.
We set Safari preferences for all of the settings that needed to be in place through configuration profiles. That has worked well.
The lightspeed mobile filter terminates the connection from the end user's computer when the test begins. To fix this we have the students run a policy that uninstalls the mobile filter through Self Service and caches it to be installed in the evening after school lets out. This works fairly well, although having students follow directions creates challenges for the teachers. We've had lightspeed working on this issue for a month or so. I'm definitely not confident they will have it done by April, our next testing window, as they have not released a mobile filter that works with Yosemite yet.
The problem that I am running into now, I believe, is from JAMFHelper. The Aspire test works through Java and totally locks down the computer. A few students have received an error message saying that the testing app is no longer the active window.
This is the line from the log that I'm seeing: 2015-01-19T17:18:35.288Z com.pearson.testnav.TestNavMain.showLostFocus INFO AppKit Thread[id=12] Lost Focus Process name=========jamfHelper
This happened with 4 out of 12 students last hour. I checked the Policy logs and no policies were executing during that time for each computer. It happened three times to one computer, twice to another, an once on the other two. Running Casper 9.62 and Mavericks on each of these computers. Students are running Java 8u25. This same problem happened during our October testing too with Java 7.
Any help as to how to overcome this or what may be causing the Java app to think that JAMFHelper is trying to take over would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading my long post!
