Would like to use it for device lock :)

When you call j.Computer() specifying a subset the subset(s) returned always includes general

computer = j.Computer('129', "hardware&purchasing")

returns

<computer>
<general>...</general>
<hardware>...</hardware>
<purchasing>...</purchasing>
</computer>

We just updated our JAMF server to 10.6, and since then I haven't been able to get this library to run

Making the following call:
jamf_xml = j.MobileDevice().retrieve_all(subset="general&location&mobiledevicegroups")

And I get the resulting exception:
requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='ndh-jss-01.corp.contoso.com', port=8443): Max retries exceeded with url: /JSSResource/mobiledevices (Caused by SSLError(SSLError("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_read_bytes', 'sslv3 alert handshake failure')],)",),))

I have tried disabling ssl_verify in the JSS prefs, but the issue persists. Any ideas to further troubleshoot this?

According to what I've undertand , seems that default behaviour is that SSL verification is always enabled, isnt't it ?

In the jss_prefs.py file there is a line

self.verify = prefs.get("verify", True)

so if not specified, the SSL will be enabled, isn't it ?

I've fixed my issue ( at jssimporter/jss_helper#8) changing the value from True to False.
On my JSS test server I have an expired ssl certificates (problem that I will solve..) that without setting the SSL to False in the above file, doesn't allow me to use the toools (details of my error in the above link..)

I'm not a Python expert , so sorry if I've made some mistake :)

This may come off as a bit of a noob question, but I'm still relatively new to Python..

I've been implementing AutoPkg (with the utilization of JSSImporter) for our JAMF instance at work, and I wanted to use the python-jss module specifically to take advantage of the JAMF API wrapper.. But I can't seem to get it to work with Python3.

In following the documentation, I'm able to import jss, but when I attempt to execute jss_prefs = jss.JSSPrefs(), and error is returned: module 'jss' has no attribute 'JSSPrefs'.

I've been wracking my brain over this and am wondering if this just doesn't work in python3. Any ideas?

Got this error with latest release:

https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/e1982466bd7e971f27525cbc31024590a456df66/jss/contrib/mount_shares_better.py#L54

These two lines are throwing an error in macOS High Sierra. My file system is APFS (encrypted).

I'm not sure how to proceed with troubleshooting (still learning), but my guess is that something has changed with the API calls that @pudquick discussed here: https://michaellynn.github.io/2015/08/08/learn-you-a-better-pyobjc-bridgesupport-signature/

SSL verification is only set upon JSS.__init__ which makes it obfuscated and confusing how to disable SSL verification through any means other than instantiating a new JSS object or reaching into the requests session (not recommended!)

The project is great, but I'm curious how herculean the work would be to remove pyObjc/Foundation dependencies to allow python-jss to be used on other platforms (Linux mainly).

We have a need to have two different policies get created for each new patch that comes out, one for creating a self-service policy scoped to our patch testers for initial QA, and another to alert them that the new self service policy is available to them.

Originally, we were simply using one policy and letting the JSS recipe's policy template include the needed strings to enable the JSS's ability to send Notifications to OS X's Notification Center, but we ran into to problems in that we want Alerts, not Banners. After significant attempts to find an operationalizable way of making the changes we needed, we have chosen to pursue using the JAMF Helper.app to send our alerts instead.

Our idea was that when a new patch comes out, it gets downloaded, packaged, uploaded to Casper, and two policies get created both scoped to the same smart group, with one being the one that triggers the JAMF Helper.app once per computer for any machines that fall into the associated Smart Group.

When executed all together, a client would get fall into the Smart Group, get hit once with an alert that the new patch was available, and then could run the other Self Service Policy at will.

I was able to get everything working properly manually, but when I try to do it with recipes I run into some issues and I think Python-JSS might be playing a part. (FYI I'm not a Python expert by any means).

I can write my JSS recipe so that it creates two policies no problem, and all the individual unique components get passed properly (e.g. one policies has a self service description, the other has different trigger settings, etc). The only problem is no matter what I do, the package getting created is added to both. I tried removing any references to the package configuration from the 2nd policy template but it still gets added. I also tried just running the arguments for the notification policy but its still adds the package.

I'm thinking that because a pkg recipe is listed as the parent, and because by default when the JSSImporter runs it normally adds the package info for you, that its just always putting it in by default. I tried purposely adding package configuration information to the policy xml for the notification template and specifying 0 but it still gets added.

I though maybe I could have two different JSS policies with one as the parent to the other, but I'm thinking the pkg info will still ultimately get passed because that would be the default behavior.

Any ideas how I can get that second policy created for the Notifications without having the package get added to it?

Thanks in advance.

As per lindegroup/autopkgr#172

I was having a lot of trouble getting JSS_helper to work, but I think I've narrowed down the cause. The instructions on that project tell you to run "sudo easy_install python-jss" to get the required version of python-jss. Running that recommended command installs v1.2.0 of python-jss. The current version of jss_helper then refuses to run citing a need for version 1.3 of python-jss to be installed. Here's the output from that command:

Searching for python-jss
Best match: python-jss 1.2.0
Processing python_jss-1.2.0-py2.7.egg

titan:~ <username>$ jss_helper
Requires python-jss version: 1.3. Installed: 1.2

I'm guessing something didn't get updated quite right when the new version of python-jss was released. So it's downloading an older release rather than the current official one. That said, I haven't been able to locate the code that handles the easy_install, so I can't verify things on that.

Using this code:

import jss
j = jss.JSS(jss.JSSPrefs())

foo_site = j.Site("Foo")
new_policy = jss.Policy(j, "New Policy TEST")
new_policy.add_object_to_path(foo_site, "general")

This is the result:

<policy>
    <general>
        <name>New Policy TEST</name>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        ...
         <JSSContainerObject>
            <id>4</id>
            <name>Foo</name>
        </JSSContainerObject>
        ...
    </general>
    ...
</policy>

Expected:

<policy>
    <general>
        <name>New Policy TEST</name>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        ...
         <site>

    ...

Hi Shea, I've been working with @eahrold on an issue I'm having with AutoPkgr where I am getting 403 errors. Based on our troubleshooting so far, it appears the issue is related to something with the Python-JSS lib.

Can you take a look at the following thread and let us know your thoughts? Thanks in advance. - Jordan

lindegroup/autopkgr#187

https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/3e44c7ed1d4b3a656f5aede6088921c24c1ce730/CHANGELOG.md#added-2

There's no limitations method in the code.

Perhaps this is the intended behaviour, but if I call JSSPrefs() with my own (non-existent) plist file as preferences_file argument, I'd expect it to act the same way as it does in the default case, and ask me for the information needed to create the file.

Instead, it throws an exception if the file isn't found. Is this intended? It's these lines:

https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/e1982466bd7e971f27525cbc31024590a456df66/jss/jss_prefs.py#L110-L112

I also suspect that the call to self.init() at the bottom of init() should include self.preferences_file as the preferences_file argument:

https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/e1982466bd7e971f27525cbc31024590a456df66/jss/jss_prefs.py#L132

Otherwise it tries to read the default plist. Am I missing something?

Thanks for all the hard work on this. It sure makes interacting with the JSS API easier! I have a problem that may be related to improper usage by me or a bug. I've created a variable:

jss_prefs = jss.JSSPrefs()
j = jss.JSS(jss_prefs, ssl_verify=False, suppress_warnings=True)
smartGroup = j.ComputerGroup(99)

When trying to add criteria to smartGroup (which is a smart group), I get the following error:

smartGroup.add_criterion(name="Username", priority=0, and_or="and", search_type="is", value="bobafett2")
self.criteria.append(criterion)
AttributeError: 'ComputerGroup' object has no attribute 'criteria'

I can see the contents of the group and criteria, also inspect.getargspec(smartGroup.add_criterion)
returns this:

ArgSpec(args=['self', 'name', 'priority', 'and_or', 'search_type', 'value'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=None)

JSSImporter 0.5.1 was installed by AutoPkgr

Since then I get this error when running autopkg:

Hey @sheagcraig,
we go this report. He has SSL_VERIFY set to false.

It seems like it accessed the JSS server with a self-signed cert fine, but once it started trying to upload to the JDS side the certificate verify failed. From what I can tell it looks like same session so the SSL_VERIFY should stick. can you confirm/disconfirm this?

https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/master/jss/distribution_points.py#L182

When trying to print a computer group object I got the error:
"errorMessage": "__str__ returned non-string (type bytes)"

As per this comment on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15304229/convert-python-elementtree-to-string:

In Python 3, encoding='utf8' returns a bytestring instead of a string. I recommend using tostring(xml, encoding="unicode") instead. – Stevoisiak Feb 7 '18 at 19:18

So I believe you need to change line 159 in tools.py from:
return ElementTree.tostring(pretty_data, encoding='UTF-8')
to
return ElementTree.tostring(pretty_data, encoding='unicode')

I did this locally and it fixed the error for me.

I wanted to check to see if you or anyone you know of are working on the file upload to the JSS section?
We are interested in using the functionality in autopkg JSS and would consider working on a contribution but I wanted to make sure we would not overlap.
Thanks!

class FileUpload(JSSObject):
# Need to think about how to handle this.
def init(self):
raise NotImplementedError
# _url = '/fileuploads'
# can_put = False
# can_delete = False

# can_get = False

Now that it works!

The new code throws an "Unsupported OS" error when it tries to mount my AFP share. It's being triggered at line 671 of distribution_points.py. I'm able to mount the AFP share by hand without any issues. Also, I'm running the 0.5.9 code on another system and it is able to mount the same share.

I should mention, python-jss is being called from the latest version of AutoPkgr.

Class LocalRepository requires attributes {"mount_point", "share_name"}, while only mount_point seems to be needed.

Make sure to update README.md if you change this :-)

SOURCE: https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/3e44c7ed1d4b3a656f5aede6088921c24c1ce730/jss/distribution_point.py#L213

And issue warnings if the version is different enough to cause issues for python-jss.

Can't get updating a smart group criteria to work

When doing a .save() on a new ComputerGroup object, it throws an error that

str does not have a method called post()

It seems like something with the inheritance isn't working correctly. Doing a dir(new_group.jss), compared with a dir(existing_group.jss) yields very very different methods/properties.

new_group.jss is a str object, rather than what it should be.

Per jssimporter/JSSImporter#75

Can we get a wrapper method to add an object to an already selected object?

import jss
j = jss.JSS(jss.JSSPrefs())

foo_site = j.Site("Foo")
new_policy = jss.Policy(j, "New Policy TEST")
new_policy.add_object_to_path(foo_site, "general")

The idea is to make the above code rewritable as the following code.

import jss
j = jss.JSS(jss.JSSPrefs())

foo_site = j.Site("Foo")
new_policy = jss.Policy(j, "New Policy TEST")
new_policy.find("general").add_object(foo_site)

Often times there is a need to make multiple changes to a tag (in this case "general"), so a variable may be used new_policy_general = new_policy.find("general") to decrease the number of lookups.

I'm receiving the following error when running Firefox.jss, or Evernote.jss and even tried Silveright.jss

"/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/jss/jss.py", line 616 in save for child in updated_data.getchildren():

I have posted the same issue in Autopkgr Git issues page which may have more details on current troubleshooting lindegroup/autopkgr#209

Pulling an existing policy with no category, or creating a new one, and then trying to .save() results in a HTTP 409 error: "Conflict/Error: Problem with category name".

It seems that Jamf has changed it so, lacking a category, a policy now has a category id of -1 and a name of "No category assigned". However, it won't accept those values when you try to PUT/update.

I imagine that this also affects other things that have categories, like Packages.

I'm not using distribution points(don't ask) even though there's one configured, but no JDS's. The API user only has rights to computers, 'cause that's all I want to operate on. Is that allowable? This is what my first try looks like:

jss_prefs = jss.JSSPrefs()

j = jss.JSS(jss_prefs)

Noticed that when running AutoPkgr, if my CasperShare its configured to use isn't mounted, it will mount it as expected once the JSS-Importer process kicks off but then the DP stays mounted after everything runs.

It looks like the command does in fact get sent from Python-JSS to unmount but its not waiting for anything to complete so if the share is being accessed by anything else (say spotlight), it prevents it from un-mounting.

Not the end of the world but not a good practice to leave the CasperShare mounted because it can cause odd behavior when syncing the DPs via Admin.

The multipart boundaries are included, as well as the "content disposition" line.

Installing via pip alongside the system python on 10.13.3 seems to be missing a dependency. After installing, I get the message

 File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/urllib3/contrib/pyopenssl.py", line 47, in <module>
    from cryptography import x509
ImportError: No module named cryptography

So, it looks as if cryptography is actually an unresolved dependency of pyopenssl, which is included in urllib3.

Interestingly, I don't get this issue if I install into a virtualenv - pip installs cryptography along with all the other packages...

I'm wondering if Python3 compatibility is planned for python-jss. I've been using 2to3 to try and get it running for the sake of testing, but that's not feasible for installation on other machines.

It seems that there is a heap of new objects to add in. Expect them in 0.5.0.

Hey Shea,
First off congrats on your baby girl. I just had my second, a baby boy just about 5 months ago.

I know It's going to be tough to find some free time to code, so I'll try and keep as much of the AutoPkgr related issues off your plate for a while.

I am finding one strange occurrence and If you could point me in the right direction I could probably put a PR together to sort it out.

When a user specifies a URL with a path component it's doing some weird assembly

for example if the cloud url is

https://mytest.jamfcloud.com/myinstance/

HTTP Status 404 - /mytest/myinstance//JSSResource/distributionpoints

So I'm not sure how, but it looks like it's stripping out the host, using the first part of that, and adding it to the resource path. Any Ideas on where to start.

(I've added this to L194 of jss.py)

print ("This is the response %s" % response.text.encode('utf-8'))

To help diagnose this issue

so here's the full response

When trying to install the package with pip, I am getting the following error:

$ pip install python-jss
Collecting python-jss
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-jss (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for python-jss

Cant seem to figure out why. Also, is this package supported by python3?

So looks like this could be related to other issues but since I am seeing it in autopkg, autopkgr, and spruce all showing from python_jss-0.5.9-py2.7.egg/jss/jss.py. Just started after the Casper 9.72 update.

Am I just missing some thing? These smell like earlier reports but nothing I see there fixes or works around the issue.

Using the silverlight.jss.recipe found at sheagcraig/jss-recipes, I receive the following error.

If you add this pkg to Casper Admin manually, the pkg file is zipped before upload. I believe that is what will need to happen for non-flat packages.

Helpful 409 errors are not making their way up to the user.

Hey Shea,
I'm not sure exactly what to do with this here.
https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/master/jss/distribution_points.py#L432-L434

When building the mount_url it's prefixed with protocol, then adds auth, then adds the url.
It's slightly misleading since the url would arguably be something like afp://my.jssdp.com rather than simply my.jssdp.com

So if you actually set the url as an actual url you end up with this for the mount_url

afp://me:mypass@afp://my.jssdb.com

I'm not sure if this is a method fix, or a documentation fix. Just something I noticed.

It could be something as simple as checking the self.connection['URL'] for :// and if found splitting, and taking list[1]

Thanks,
-- Eldon

It doesn't look like the dp variable is being set properly on https://github.com/sheagcraig/python-jss/blob/7c8e0cceb24bb4d1a03f157f9c24975e16872d1d/jss/distribution_points.py#L169
