Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade ksp-client -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade ksp-client -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

  win_chocolatey:

Package Approved

This package was approved as a trusted package on 15 Oct 2024.

Description

The Sassafras KeyServer Platform Client pairs with the a KeyServer/AllSight server to discover hardware attributes and installed software applications, delivering trustworthy details about each Windows, Mac, and Linux machine (including virtual and thin-client) where it is installed. Sassafras’ cloud-hosted Product Recognition Service (PRS) then normalizes virtually every software product installed on client computers.

Sassafras provides IT Administrators and other stakeholders real-time access to hardware and software inventory, usage stats, license management, and compliance reports. Live availability maps with integrated intelligent software search give students on-demand access to available assets.

Notes

  • This package is useless by itself. You will need a Sassafras KSP back-end which is a licensed, enterprise product.
  • The KSPclient is forward and backward compatible with a wide range of versions of KeyServer/AllSight.

Options

Host parameter

The KSP server ("KeyServer") with which the client will interface is best specified at installation using a /Host package parameter argument. For example:

choco install k2client --params '"/Host:ksp.example.com"'

Source parameter

You may specify a /Source package parameter to an alternate server (i.e. a local server, not Sassafras) from which KSPclient can be downloaded. Newer versions of KeyServer/AllSight can push updated clients and can share the latest client for an initial install by this package. (Contact Sassafras support to find out how.) If the installers are altered or of a different version than this package, the --ignorechecksums switch must be used. For example:

choco install k2client --params '"/Host:k2.example.com /Source:k2.example.com/kami"'

Additional installer options

The KSPclient has additional options that should normally not be needed but can be used via --installarguments (or --ia). For example:

`choco install k2client --params '"/Host:k2.example.com"' --ia '"-v PROP_LOCKED=1"'

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
