Multiple repos support

[Vlad Art]

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to make Munki to work with multiple repositories? I have some software which should be distributed only to authorized clients and hoped to have a separate repo with authentication for it.

Is PackageURL the only workaround I could use currently?

Cheers,

V

Any one client will only talk to one repo in a given run of managedsoftwareupdate. You could use a Munki preflight script to dynamically switch the repo...

So only put that software in the manifests of the authorized clients...

Neither setting an alternate PackageURL or PackageCompleteURL will work well if the alternate location uses different authentication than the “main” repo.

A clever Munki preflight could switch repos and add/remove authentication headers from the requests.
