Fog client won't connect back to server
-
We updated to the latest working-1.6 version at the start of this week. Now all my clients are not connecting to the host and won’t perform any tasks.
The error in fog.log on the client states:

Reinstalling the FOG client gets:

@sideone Please run an update, I just released what I believe should fix this problem.
The reason you’re seeing that in the browser is the url is expecting a mac address being sent in.
#!im
== “Invalid MAC” -
Navigating in browser to http://10.16.46.84/fog/management/index.php?sub=requestClientInfo&authorize&newService returns
{"error":"im"}

@sideone Specifically regarding the Invalid Security Token issue you’re seeing, you would need to reset the host’s Security Tokens.
This can be done per host of course. I believe the option is also available on groups: Specifically the
