I don’t think the above commit will help you.

Im getting errors with some devices not joining FOG
The authentication part Response Invalid security token.

Usually that is solved be pressing the “Reset Encryption” button in the FOG web UI for these particular hosts you see the error in the fog-client log.

@tesparza Did you “Reset Encryption” in the web UI. That should fix this issue.

Edit: Oh well, re-reading your message I finally see what you mean. This is an unregistered host and you want it to auto-register (join FOG) through the fog-client software, right?

I guess there is something going wrong with the registration but we don’t see that in the log file you posted. Please stop the FOGService (Windows service management) on this machine, rename C:\fog.log to C:\fog2.log and start the FOGService again. At the same time while the service starts again you want to take a look at the Apache and PHP-FPM logs on you FOG server. Please post all log information here.

@tesparza Thanks for the details. Will look into this.

By chance we might have someone else who just reported the same thing: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16039/fog-client-not-auto-registering-hosts

Though I am not sure this was fixed in the developer version already. Stay tuned.

Sebastian Roth

Found a bit of time to look into this. Just in case anyone comes across the Middleware::Response Invalid MAC address format on unregistered clients again. This happens when a MAC address filter (FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG Client - Host Register -> QUICKREG PENDING MAC FILTER) is defined so that a newly registering client’s MAC matches the filter.

Just for the record, fog-client auto registration currently works (FOG 1.5.9.200 - fog-client 0.12.2).

Remove validation on MAC address to allow for wildcards as well
