      Anybody have any idea how to add a login option to the advanced menu? Or is this not currently possible? I really need a password on some of my options, and this was really easy to add with syslinux. I can’t seem to figure it out with iPXE.

      Thanks!

        if you set the menu to hidden, a password is required to access anything, i believe.

            remember though, that this method is only a mild level of security being added. if anyone goes to
            [FONT=Consolas][url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url][/FONT]
            they will see the password in plain text

              really? a webserver should never delivery a php file contents cleartext.

                that file generates the fog boot menu, which is a plain text file generated with php

                  In svn, I’ve added the ability to set the menu itself as either login or no login. I’m not going to work, quite yet, on the individual advanced menu password requirements.

                  Hopefully this will help people out.

                  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)

                      Thanks for the responses everyone. I really appreciate it. Hiding the menu works for the time being, but having the ability to pick and choose which menu items have it, and which don’t down the road would be most welcome.

                        I’ve now added the ability to add “individual” password login settings to menu items
                        My current menu that is tested and working, although very minimal, is:
                        [code]isset ${userID} && goto do_me || goto MENU
                        :do_me
                        kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.10.10.1 web=10.10.10.118/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=win7actsysprep ftp=10.10.10.118 imgType=n osid=7 storage=10.10.10.118:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
                        imgfetch init.xz && boot || goto MENU
                        :MENU
                        menu
                        item --gap Please Select one of the images below
                        item fog.local Boot from hard disk
                        item d101_64 D101 Base Image (64 bit load)
                        item return Return to main menu
                        choose --default fog.local target && goto ${target}
                        :fog.local
                        sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 || goto MENU
                        :d101_64
                        chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU
                        :return
                        chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || goto MENU
                        autoboot[/code]

                        Notice the :d101_64 how it has the chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU ?That’s all that’s needed to have a “login” for your menu item. Notice the top where it says :do_me? This is important to note that it’s ABOVE the menu generation part of the advanced menu setup.

                        As I stated, this is very basic, but a method to :sort: the different functions could be:
                        [code]isset ${userID} && iseq ${bootnum} 1 && goto do_me ||
                        isset ${userID} && iseq ${butnum} 2 && goto do_me2 ||
                        goto MENU
                        :do_me
                        kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.10.10.1 web=10.10.10.118/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=win7actsysprep ftp=10.10.10.118 imgType=n osid=7 storage=10.10.10.118:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
                        imgfetch init.xz && boot || goto MENU
                        :do_me2
                        kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.10.10.1 web=10.10.10.118/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=blahblah ftp=10.10.10.118 imgType=n osid=7 storage=10.10.10.118:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
                        imgfetch init.xz && boot || goto MENU
                        :MENU
                        menu
                        item --gap Please Select one of the images below

                        set bootnum 1
                        chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU
                        :d102_64

                          What’s the difference between Aru’s method of booting (sanboot) and Junkhacker’s method (initrd and chain memdisk) when it comes to booting a Windows iso? I have an image of my Windows 7 installer disk, and was wondering.

                          Edit: I done goofed.

                            [CODE]:Xubuntu 13.04
                            kernel ${boot_url}/xubuntu/casper/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs/ boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/xubuntu/

                            boot
                            [/CODE]

                            Thanks for all the help![/quote]

                            madskillz23,

                            Did you get Ubuntu 14.04 to boot??

                            I extracted all the files from the ISO and put them into /images/ubuntu14041/ and it tries to boot but I get the “(initramfs) Unable to find a live file system on the network” message…

                                    /images as in the same as where the computer images get stored and therefore that’s where my /ubuntu folder should be at

                                    OR

                                    /images as in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu

                                        Actually, here is my menu… any help appreciated…

                                        I extracted all files from the Ubuntu 14.04.1 i386 to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu14041

                                        set boot-url [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe[/url]
                                        set boot-nfs ${fog-ip}:/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe
                                        :MENU
                                        menu
                                        item --gap – Boot Menu Advanced
                                        item WinPE7 WinPE 7
                                        item Ubuntu14 Ubuntu 14
                                        item return return to previous menu
                                        choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                                        :WinPE7
                                        sanboot ${boot-url}/iso/winpe7.iso
                                        goto MENU

                                        :Ubuntu14
                                        kernel ${boot-url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs/ vga=normal boot=casper netboot=nfs fetch:${boot_url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/filesystem.squashfs nfsroot=${boot-nfs}/images/ubuntu14041/
                                        initrd ${boot-url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/initrd.lz
                                        boot
                                        goto MENU

                                          That one.

                                          /var… is boot_url and web directory
                                          /images is where the rest of your images are stored. that should have a fully extracted ubuntu dvd in a directory there. i

                                            By this you mean the following?:

                                            /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu14041 <- this folder has only these three files: vmlinuz initrd.lz and filesystem.squashfs

                                            /images/ubuntu14041 <- this has the entire contents of the ISO
