Installing FOG Client with HTTPS, unable to install CA Certificate from Server
-
@hancocza are you using the default SSL cert generated by the FOG server?
-
@joe-schmitt For the apache web server? No. We use a custom one. From what I understood though was that the installer is just looking for the srvpublic.crt, which is still in it’s original place.
-
@hancocza does the computer you’re trying to install the client on trust that SSL certificate? (e.g. if you go to your fog server in a browser, is there a certificate error?).
-
@joe-schmitt Yes. I go to the browser and it doesn’t throw any warnings. The address bar has the green secure lock on it.
-
@hancocza alright, then this is definitely a client bug. The functions we created to download files did not adhere to redirect requests. I’m working on patching that now.
-
@hancocza Can you try installing this build: https://build.jbob.io/Client/nightly/02-13-downloadredirect-01/SmartInstaller.exe ? It should follow your SSL redirect.
Please note that it is a nightly build and so should not be used in production, as the binaries are unsigned and can cause unforeseen issues.
-
@joe-schmitt Do you have an MSI version of it? If not, do you know what the parameter is to install this with https?
-
You can browse all the files here: https://build.jbob.io/Client/nightly/02-13-downloadredirect-01/
Here is the MSI: https://build.jbob.io/Client/nightly/02-13-downloadredirect-01/FOGService.msi

@joe-schmitt Hey Joe,
Just tried to install it with the HTTPS switch. Still getting the Unable to install CA Certificate issue.
-
@hancocza Can you try again with this build? https://build.jbob.io/Client/release-candidate/0.11.14-RC-03/FOGService.msi
-
@joe-schmitt Still a no go. Still trying to reach over 80.
-
Moved to bug reports as it seems to be one. Thanks @Joe-Schmitt for looking into this!
-
@hancocza let me remote in and debug the issue. The installer had a bug which prevented it from pinning a server over https if port 80 was blocked. This has been fixed in v0.11.14, which will be released with the next server RC.
