wondering if there is a way to get json instead of xml from the generic GET on the service:

example: http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/service.jsp?cmd=ls

I'm getting xml which could work but I need something that gives all packs and their state without knowing the group names.

The end game is to find out which packs are installed vs uploaded.

I am trying to Automate the SAML Configuration in AEM 6.1,
Has anyone generated the CURL command to Automate the authentication-service keystore and CURL command to Automate the trust store for uploading the Certificate.

What is the command to replicate a package that is uploaded and installed. In package manager page if you go to more options there is replicate.

Package replication is not best practice. It does not provide a method for uninstallation from the replication receiver servers.

FYI, the field name is optional, if its not included it will just name it whatever the bundle is called

Created this quick bash script to install a package if it doesn't exist in crx. (based on this gist)

Hope it helps

have a look at this dudes:

I use this for all automation of deploy, just working on a final touches will release Ansible project for this to make everyones life easier

@gsharp, this is what you are looking for: http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/list.jsp
@zapts,that corect use ansible to prep your server
@ravilution, this is how curl -u : -X POST http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr/service/.json/etc/packages/mycontent.zip?cmd=replicate

also I am dumping all my Curl links here they will include these and more

https://github.com/paulrohrbeck/aem-links
https://github.com/wildone/aem-links

@cpilsworth mentioned -F recursive=true. This doesn't seem to be necessary, at least not on AEM 6.1.

Also, if you have a bunch of packages to upload and install, you can put them all in a directory and run:

~$ AEM_PACKAGES_DIR=~/Downloads/aem_packages
~$ AEM_USER_PASS=admin:admin
~$ AEM_HOST_PORT=localhost:4502
~$ for f in $AEM_PACKAGES_DIR/*; do 
     echo "Uploading and installing $f to $AEM_HOST_PORT ($AEM_USER_PASS)" ; 
     curl -u $AEM_USER_PASS -F file=@"$f" -F install=true http://$AEM_HOST_PORT/crx/packmgr/service.jsp ; 
   done

This will iterate over the files in AEM_PACKAGES_DIR and upload/install in listing order. Need to enforce a specific order? Prefix the order-specific packages with a number (eg, 1_aem-service-pkg-wrapper-6.1.SP2.zip and 2_cq-6.1.0-hotfix-10302-1.0.zip).
