Hostname changer not working
-
Hi all
I’m seeing this on FOG version 4582 and client version 0.94.
C:\fog.log on client shows
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------HostnameChanger------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 15/09/2015 16:37 Client-Info Version: 0.9.4 15/09/2015 16:37 HostnameChanger Running... 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Communication URL: http://fogserver.domain.com/fog/service/servicemodule-active.php?moduleid=hostnamechanger&mac=FC:AA:14:10:4D:7C||00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0|00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0&newService=1 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Communication Response: Success 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Communication URL: http://fogserver.domain.com/fog/service/hostname.php?moduleid=hostnamechanger&mac=FC:AA:14:10:4D:7C||00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0|00:00:00:00:00:00:00:E0&newService=1 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Communication Response: Invalid host certificate 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Communication URL: http://fogserver.domain.com/fog/management/other/ssl/srvpublic.crt 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Authentication ERROR: Could not get security token 15/09/2015 16:37 Middleware::Authentication ERROR: Could not find file 'C:\Windows\system32\token.dat'. 15/09/2015 16:37 Data::RSA CA cert found 15/09/2015 16:37 Data::RSA ERROR: Certificate validation failed 15/09/2015 16:37 Data::RSA ERROR: Trust chain did not complete to the known authority anchor.

Does this exist on my version of FOG? If so could someone give me a pointer on where I can find it?

@Kiweegie Same problem here !
-
@Kiweegie @ch3i The “Reset encryption” button will only fix “Invalid security token” errors. What you have is an untrusted server. Did you reset the CA keys or swap out FOG servers recently?
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.

same problem for me but i have no error about a certificate or authenticate
client are using new fog client 0.9.5 but hostname changer didnt work
I see no error in fog.log -
@giejo63 Can you upload the fog.log anyways? I can’t help unless I know exactly what is or isn’t happening.

I think it’s a problem in my installation. @Tom-Elliott tried to help me via Teamviewer, but as he said : It’s weird ! lol
-
@Jbob Hi Jbob, yes this was indeed my issue and resolved by Tom Elliot. I had rebuilt my FOG server and so had a different CA key on the client which was imaged from the “old” FOG server before I rebuilt it.
Tom advised issue as:
The crt file that the client is using to send its authentication data is not signed by the server’s ca, or rather what your client thinks is the server’s certificate authority
Fix was to download new crt file from http://your_FOG_server/fog/management/other/ca.cert.der and install that on the affected client.

Hi,

Pretty weird! Is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx always the exact same IP address? Please make sure!
Why would one HTTP GET request work and another one the same minute not? Maybe just try this link in your webbrowser and see what response you get. Usually it should be like: ‘#!ok=<hostname> #AD=…’

Hi,
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is always the same IP address. I’m sure.
I have never seen ‘#!ok=<hostname> #AD=…’
I dont know why… -
I meant that you could try to access this link http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/service/hostname.php?moduleid=hostnamechanger&mac=D4:3D:7E:D2:52:B4|&newService=1 (exchange xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the IP of your FOG server) in a normal browser from any host in your network which has access to the FOG server via HTTP (probably most if not all hosts will have access I guess). Then you should see something like ‘#!ok=<hostname> #AD=…’ in that browser window… or possibly an error. Give it a try!

@Uncle-Frank
when i try in a browser, i see “#!ih”
-
I am sorry but I don’t know the code of the new client much yet. So I am not sure how the client would handle this response. Usually ‘#!ih’ means ‘invalid host’. What about if you access the other URLs you see in the log, e.g. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/service/servicemodule-active.php?moduleid=hostnamechanger&mac=D4:3D:7E:D2:52:B4|&newService=1
By the way. Which version of FOG du you use (see in the blue cloud in the webinterface).
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)
Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

@Uncle-Frank my guess as to why he is seeing ih which is invalid host, is the MAC address being sent is the wifi while the Mac registered to the host is wired. This is just a guess.
-
@Uncle-Frank
when i try the other URL i have : “#!nh”
I’m in version 4682

This host as only wired LAN it’s not a laptop so i think it’s not a MAC address problem
-
Sure you haven’t changed this client’s “Service settings” meanwhile? ‘#!nh’ to me sounds like hostnamechanger is not enabled for this client in the web interface. But maybe I am wrong.

@Uncle-Frank Absolutely correct.
-
Ok was my fault… for this host the hostname changer was disabled.
I activate it in service settings but it doesn’t work.
When i try the URL with hostname.php it keeps trying but nothing happens (so it explain the success for servicemodule-active.php and the error for hostname.php in this log)22/09/2015 15:18 Client-Info Version: 0.9.5 22/09/2015 15:18 HostnameChanger Running... 22/09/2015 15:18 Middleware::Communication URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/service/servicemodule-active.php?moduleid=hostnamechanger&mac=D4:3D:7E:D2:52:B4|&newService=1 22/09/2015 15:18 Middleware::Communication Response: Success 22/09/2015 15:18 Middleware::Communication URL: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/service/hostname.php?moduleid=hostnamechanger&mac=D4:3D:7E:D2:52:B4|&newService=1 22/09/2015 15:20 Middleware::Communication ERROR: Could not contact FOG server 22/09/2015 15:20 Middleware::Communication ERROR: Le délai d'attente de l'opération a expiré. -

You mean in a web browser?? Wow… this is… not as it should be I guess!
What do you see in the apache error logs while you try to access this URL from a browser. Depending on your distribution those files might be in /var/log/apache2/ or some similar path on the FOG server.
