Is it possible to remove the FOG Quick image password?

[lebrun78]

I would like, for a group of machine which the name is beginning by i207, not have to insert login/password to deploy image directly from pxe menu.
But for all the other machines I would have to keep the login/password

@Tom-Elliott this is what he’s trying to do: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9290/boot-menu-configuration-document

@lebrun78 For the one classroom that you want to not manage, give them their own server on their own vlan, or give the teacher ‘mobile’ access only. Or schedule the machines to just get imaged every single night or weekend or whenever the teacher requests the classroom be imaged. You can just schedule these things, we can walk you through it. Also it’s not hard to use groups to deploy whenever it’s requested either. If you’re using the FOG Client and DHCP and have WOL enabled, and you have systems set to boot to the network first, you can deploy to a classroom without being there and all will be fine.

The amount of work involved with you continuing to do all of the imaging is not that much when your environment is setup to your advantage.

thanks for your answer

I tried modify the fog.deployimage with this code:

#login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param hostname ${hostname}
goto host_${hostname} || goto autres
:host_admin13
param username toto
param password toto
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
goto fin
:autres
login
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:fin

My test machine admin13 goes into the loop host_admin13, but login and password are not valid.
It may be a coding problem for the password ?

[lebrun78]

login toto and password toto is a mobile account

@lebrun78
It works know without password.

Here is the code I put in the deploymenu:

#login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param hostname ${hostname}
goto host_${hostname} || goto autres
:host_room24PC1
:host_room24PC2
:host_room24PC3
set username foo
set password foo
params
param username foo
param password foo
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
goto fin
:autres
login
params
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:fin

Could I limit access to an image or a short list of images with deployimage menu ?

[Tom Elliott]

@lebrun78 This is not included.

That said, you could build your own menu item that could provide this functionality, but i will admit it would be quite an involved process.

@lebrun78 do you know where is the fog.deployimage script please?
I have 1.5.9 fog version and I could not find this file

[Tom Elliott]

@lewis There is no “script” file that is used. This is stored in the database.

Specifically:

FOG Configuration Page -> iPXE Menu -> fog.deployimage

[Sebastian Roth]

@Lewis As mentioned further down in the discussion the fog.deployimage is not a file/script somewhere on your disk but more a setting in the FOG web UI -> FOG Configuration -> iPXE Menu Item Settings -> fog.deployimage

Please be aware those things mentioned here might not apply to the most current version of FOG. Not saying it does not but I don’t know if this still works.

If you need further help on this I may ask you to open a new topic and post a full question - describing what your aim is and what you need help with.

It’s still working for me.
