      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:

      How can I reconnect my clients?
      Thanks!

        @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”

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          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 Reset Encryption Data
