Extra preference to consider

If you use authorization headers for your Mac clients to communicate with your MunkiReport server and are upgrading from MunkiReport 5.7.1 (which still uses Python 2) to MunkiReport 5.8.0 (which uses Python 3), be aware that there is an additional preference to set if you want your headers to be used: UseAdditionalHttpHeaders

You can see in the 5.7.1 code for reportcommon.py that the UseAdditionalHttpHeaders key isn’t used.

And then you can see in the 5.8.0 code for reportcommon.py that the UseAdditionalHttpHeaders key is now used.

Note about Python3 branch for modules

If you’re updating your MunkiReport modules, you’ll want to use the mr5-python3 branch until MunkiReport 6 comes out:
