Our college web proxy needs to have auto discovery set in network settings for it to be found on our network.

Unless I missing it is there an built in means to do this using Casper with either policies or Configuration Profiles?

Or is there a existing script kicking about which will set this? I've found the one for specifying a proxy server address but like I say ours is done through auto discovery using DNS records.

I've got it setting it ok using the terminal command:

sudo networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery Ethernet on

Now I've just trying to get this working as a script in Casper. I may be trying to run before I can walk as my bash skills are pretty basic but I'm trying to write this so it can use parameter variables for different network interfaces and both enable and disable the setting. Here's what I've got by cheekily editing the existing setWebProxy script:

#!/bin/sh

# HARDCODED VALUES ARE SET HERE

networkInterface=""

AutoProxyDiscovery=""





# CHECK TO SEE IF A VALUE WAS PASSED IN PARAMETER 4 AND, IF SO, ASSIGN TO "networkInterface"

if [ "$4" != "" ] && [ "$networkInterface" == "" ];then

    networkInterface=$4

fi



# CHECK TO SEE IF A VALUE WAS PASSED IN PARAMETER 5 AND, IF SO, ASSIGN TO "AutoProxyDiscovery"

if [ "$5" != "" ] && [ "$AutoProxyDiscovery" == "" ];then

    AutoProxyDiscovery=$5

fi

if [ "$networkInterface" == "" ]; then

    echo "Error:  No network interface has been specified."

    exit 1

fi



if [ "$AutoProxyDiscovery" == "" ]; then

    echo "Error:  No setting been specified."

    exit 1

fi



    echo "Setting web proxy for OS $OS..."

    /usr/sbin/networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery "$networkInterface" "$AutoProxyDiscovery"

However when I import this into casper and set parameter 4 to Ethernet and parameter 5 to on and trigger the script I get:

Running script setAutoProxyDiscovery.sh...

Script exit code: 4

Script result: Setting web proxy for OS ...

**Error: The parameters were not valid.



Error running script: return code was 4.

As I say my bash skills are still developing so I apologize for any obvious error here!!
