Provisioning

See Provisioning for a description on how to use the provisioning service. Please note that the values specified are not validated by the installer and copied verbatim to the properties file. Available since version 2.6.

The Properties

• PROV_METHOD
  • NONE = don’t use provisioning at all
  • manual = use an URL as the source for the provisioning
  • DHCP = use the DHCP server
  • Bonjour = use Bonjour
• PROV_URL
  • Set the provisioning method to manual and the necessary URL (so there’s no need to set PROV_METHOD).
• MPROV_METHOD and MPROV_URL
  • Same as above, but the property names are prefixed with a * so that they are mandatory and cannot be overriden by the user properties.

Example

msiexec.exe /i jitsi-2.8.5426-x64.msi /qb PROV_URL="https://prov.example.com/?u=${username}&pw=${password}&id=${uuid}"
