[cisco-voip] automatic updates for Jabber - windows and mac

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Thanks Adam. I _suspect_ it's use will diminish over time here as well. My thought process is this:



  1.  Pilot the lastest version of Jabber, updated through auto-update-pilot / jabber XML files (only available to those with admin rights).
  2.  Update those workstations which are SCCM controlled (or equiv)
  3.  Update the global auto-update XML file to catch those remaining

It's not much extra effort to get going or to maintain, so I think I'm ok with it. Until, of course, they remove admin rights from those of us who have it.

I read about that "long file name version" elsewhere - but I can't seem to find it on CCO downloads. I only see two files available. The ZIP file doesn't have it either.

Do _we_ have to rename it?

I have done both for Mac and Windows, though both have become useless in my environment due to administrator rights requirements.

Mac users apparently are prompted either for the SU password or to unlock a keychain, and they don't want to give that superuser password to Mac customers here now, though they will deploy through JAMF.

The MAC one requires that really long file name that often contains !'s and such in it, that is available for download.

For example:

<JabberUpdate>
   <App name="JabberMac">
    <LatestBuildNum>269866</LatestBuildNum>
    <LatestVersion>12.1.1</LatestVersion>
    <Message><![CDATA[A new version of Cisco Jabber is available.<br />Please update your client at your earliest convenience.]]></Message>
    <DownloadURL>https://TFTPServer:6972/Jabber/Install_Cisco-Jabber-Mac-12.1.1.269866-76849656-MCwCFGTVpWwR0U2yaAR5Z6MT5T3sdE0HAhQ8luMs_vRUffZajT_h_0Q1ksjqzQ!!.zip</DownloadURL<https://TFTPServer:6972/Jabber/Install_Cisco-Jabber-Mac-12.1.1.269866-76849656-MCwCFGTVpWwR0U2yaAR5Z6MT5T3sdE0HAhQ8luMs_vRUffZajT_h_0Q1ksjqzQ!!.zip%3c/DownloadURL>>
   </App>

It works though as well as it does.

Adam
