Hi all,
I thought I'd drop this out there quickly just as a note to anyone
updating to Casper 7 this week.
It seems that JAMF have (possibly mistakenly) set HTTP downloads to
be turned on by default in this release whether you had it switched
on before or not. This can cause issues if like us you have not yet
got round to indexing all your packages. Likely you will see errors
along the lines of the following for PKGs
Downloading BOM for xxx.pkg...
This Apple Package did not have a valid index.bom file. Assuming
it is a flat file package.
Downloading http://it01.insidecreative.co.uk:80//Packages//xxx.pkg...
Installing xxx.pkg...
Installation failed. The installer reported: installer: Error the
package path specified was invalid: '/Library/Application Support/
JAMF/Downloads/xxx.pkg'
or possibly the following for DMGs
Downloading http://it01.insidecreative.co.uk:80//Packages//xxx.dmg...
Verifying DMG...
Error: The downloaded package could not be verified.
Simple solution to fix is to go to Management -> Distribution Points
in the JSS and turn of HTTP for any/all dist points that you are using.
We've already spoken to JAMF on this and they are aware of the
problem and are taking steps to notify or fix.
Hope this helps anyone who has been caught out by the same problem.
Cheers
Dan
