Advanced Menu

[Avaryan]

How do I go about setting up the Advanced Menu? Test server is on 1.4.1, basically stock settings.

The documentation on this, that I’ve seen, appears to be outdated.

[Tom Elliott]

From FOG Configuration Page->iPXE Boot Menu->Advanced Configuration Options.

@Tom-Elliott Oooo… so that’s what that is for. I saw that, but had no idea what it was.

I think I’ll be able to figure out the rest based on the examples in the documentation.

Alright, so I’ve got the menu working as I want it, but I can’t get the login part to work right. Not really sure why.

[Tom Elliott]

@Avaryan you have “Advanced Login” selected?

[Avaryan]

@Tom-Elliott Yes.

Under iPXE Boot Menu I have the checkbox next to ‘Advanced Menu Login’ marked.
I have ‘Boot Key Sequence’ set to CTRL + A.

My ‘Advanced Configuration Options’ are:

menu
item --gap -- ---------------- iPXE Advanced Boot Menu ----------------
item dart7 Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT7)
item return Return to Previous Menu
choose --default return --timeout 15000 target && goto ${target}
:dart7
kernel http://10.10.1.41/DaRT7/wimboot
initrd http://10.10.1.41/DaRT7/boot/bcd BCD
initrd http://10.10.1.41/DaRT7/boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
initrd http://10.10.1.41/DaRT7/sources/boot.wim boot.wim
boot
:return
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
prompt
goto MENU
autoboot

Under ‘iPXE Menu Configuration’ menu.
I see fog.advanced and fog.advancedlogin.

Which should be used and what menu should they be shown on?

[Tom Elliott]

@Avaryan Advanced login should be on the “All Hosts” item. Advanced (no login) shouldn’t even show up if advanced login is turned on. YOu do not need the “hide menu” selected for advanced login to work though either. Is it possible the “hide menu” is forcing the signin and not requiring it for the Advanced login (as you’ve already authenticated?)

[Avaryan]

@Tom-Elliott Ok, thanks. I think everything is working now.
