JDS on Ubuntu 14.04: No luck with WebDAV access?

[asf-stripe]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get a JDS install going on an ESXi VM of Ubuntu 14.04 - it's basically a plain Ubuntu 14.04 server install in which I'm running the current JDS for linux installer. This seems to work (but requires the apache2-utils package, which the installer doesn't pull down), but when I attempt to connect to the WebDAV endpoint (e.g. when syncing with Casper Admin), it's not working.

As far as initial diagnosis goes, the installer drops a file named "apache_aliases.conf" in /usr/local/jds/conf/, but the file isn't getting included in any apache config files. Adding the following directive to /etc/apache/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:

Include /usr/local/jds/conf/apache_aliases.conf

seems to at least activate WebDAV service, but the passwords that are registered in the JSS database don't appear to unlock DAV access. I'm basically at a loss and will try to make it work on 12.04 now, but I'd really prefer to run on the version of Ubuntu that doesn't get EOL'd soon (:

So - does anyone have this working & if so, what did you do to get it to work?

@asf-stripe if you refer back to this discussion https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=11139#respond you'll see that JAMF is aware that there are issues with 14.04 and that they are working on it.

I would suggest contacting your JAMF engineer to see if support has been able to resolve the issues.
