Fixed ScreenSaver Time - Password Require - Help!

[ds_support]

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..

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:

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
