I am having the same issue. Were you able to resolve it?

Never got it resolved. I think it you need a cert to install a machine-wide profile. I gave up and just wait for Jamf to push the config profile. I have a smart collection that checks to make sure a kext profile is installed before trying to install software.

I think i found the issue for me. Its silly really.
Not sure how it could have worked before because all the curl-ing i've ever done has had to have a GET POST etc...
There is no "GET" in the curl urls.
Change each curl instance to include a "GET"
For example change: curl -H "Accept: text/xml" -sfku "${apiuser}:${apipass}"
To: curl -H "Accept: text/xml" -sfku "${apiuser}:${apipass}" GET
Followed by the rest of the api url. so one full line would be like:
curl -H "Accept: text/xml" -sfku "${apiuser}:${apipass}" GET "${jssurl}/JSSResource/policies/id/${PolicyID}"

The report finished running and generated the expected results.
Hopefully just missing the GET is all you need to.

If that worked for you I'll maybe submit a change request or whatever it is.... I've never actually found a problem with a script on github and submitted a fix before (or any open source project really).

Hi there. Sorry I haven't addressed some of the issues being reported. For a while there, it was difficult for me to do any more effective testing, as I only had access to an outdated version of Jamf Pro. Now that that's changed, I will work on finding time to circle back and start updating some of these scripts to make sure they work with the current releases.

As to the issue being reported, in older versions of Jamf Pro, the GET wasn't a requirement. If there was nothing specified in the curl command, it would assume it was GET'ting information. It was only needed if you wanted to do a PUT, POST or DELETE. But it's certainly possible that it's needed now. Anyway, it's probably best practice to include the type of request in the curl command, so I should have included that.
I'll look at updating the script with those changes and mention the correction you found in the change log. Thanks!

[TexasITAdmin]

Awesome thanks! And thanks for making something Jamf should have made in the first place. The JSS-Package Report is what i came here for. Thanks to the first report I was able to clear out 27 depreciated packages.

Also, i forgot to mention that in addition to adding GET I had to remove the port number from the jss address as well
Those two changes:
Add GET to curl url
remove port # from jss address.

[TexasITAdmin]

Further testing today and I think its actually just 100% removing the port from our cloud instance url that corrected the issue. GET is not required (but like you said is best practice).

Also, I am modifying the packages report script to bring up the same type of report but for scripts. Not sure if there's any interest is something like that but I know i have 87 scripts and cleaning those up is a bigger pain than the packages.
