I try to create a new mobile device profile by running the command

curl -k -v -u apiuser:apiuserpassword -T nightblock.xml -X POST https://myjssurl:8443/JSSResource/mobiledeviceconfigurationprofiles/name/nightblock

with a xml-File with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <configuration_profile> <general> <name>nightblock</name> <payloads> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-............payloadcontent.................. </payloads> </general> </configuration_profile>

but I always get this output:

Trying 10.0.56.156...

Does anyone have an idea what's wrong in my thought process? Thanks in advance for your help!

You can't create a new JSS object via the API by the name url. You have to use the id number version of the url, and specify the ID as 0.

JSSResources/mobiledeviceconfigurationprofiles/id/0

The JSS will assign the object to the next available id # and name the object with what you put in the XML

Hi Chris
Thanks for your input. I now tried it with this command

curl -k -v -u apiuser:apiuserpassword -T nightblock -X POST https://myjssurl:8443/JSSResource/mobiledeviceconfigurationprofiles/id/0

but I get again this message :-(

Hi Tobiaslinder  :

I also have the same question ~ do you know the solution already?
