Hello Community,

since a few month I to fix this issue... It is simple but nothing works.

I want:

  • ScreenSaver after 5 minutes
  • Immediately Password Require

I try it with a configuration profile, it works sometimes and sometimes not. It is a bad option. I try a lot of scripts nothing works. I use JSS 9.93.

I hope everyone can help me to fix this simple issue. I only want a screenshot after 5 minutes with a password require :-)

Many Thanks
Christian

You have to custom build and sign the profiles..

Passcode Policy Payload, maxGracePeriod

    I got this information from my JAMF Buddy, he mention to try this workaround to create a script.

    Script should look something like this:

    !/bin/bash

    defaults write com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -int 0 defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver idleTime 7200 defaults write com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -bool false

    also he provided this link:
    -- https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=9982

    I have not try it yet, please post your results (if it worked or it didn't)

    hope it helps.

    Hello,

    I fixed the issue with the screen saver. It works with the configuration profiles perfect, now.

    The problem was, inside a older Profile I saw settings which I delete from the profile. In Casper Suite I don't saw the settings but on the mac on "System Preferences -> Profiles" I saw the settings. I delete this profile.

    Now, it works!

    Many Thanks
