AD legacy password in RC11

[Lenain]

Server

• FOG Version: 1.3 RC11
• OS: Ubuntu 14.04

Client

• Service Version: Client 1.3 and legacy client
• OS: Windows 7 64bits

Description

Since RC11 I have this message when trying to join a domain:
HostnameChanger ERROR: Required domain information is missing
AD password was in legacy, I passed it in “Will plaintext auto-chiffrer” and now it work.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m confused. You’re not having an issue?

[Lenain]

@Tom-Elliott
You are right, I misspoke… Sorry.

The problem:
In RC10 I have enter AD password with “FOG Crypt” in FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_LEGACY because in FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD the password didn’t work. So every groups have the “FOG Crypt” password.
In RC11 this password give an error in client machine “HostnameChanger ERROR: Required domain information is missing”, with one client I’ve tried to use the “Will plaintext auto-chiffrer” and it work.

My issue:
Do I have to apply “Will plaintext auto-chiffrer” to all groups (it will be very long ) or there is an other solution?

[Tom Elliott]

@Lenain It depends on the client that installed.

From the sounds of things, you have the client that “worked” with the New Client.

@Tom-Elliott
I’ve tried with both 1.2 client and 1.3 client, with FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_LEGACY same issue “HostnameChanger ERROR: Required domain information is missing”.

[Tom Elliott]

I think we need the log in whole to potentially be more help.

It having the password or not should send the proper data for the legacy client, though I’ll admit I’m not working to maintain upkeep with the legacy client. I’ve tried to ensure things will work as best as possible, but I’d highly recommend the new client over the old.

If you only have 1 domain, you can very easily create a group with every computer in it, and then use this group to apply the correct Domain Name, Username, and Password in the plaintext fields.

Other advice: Don’t use the legacy client, stick with the new one.

It can’t find informations for Active Directory but informations are there, I’ve uninstall client and install legacy client and it work fine.

@Lenain the new client uses a different system for protecting your AD password. You have to fill in the fog ad password field on your host / group in plain text.

I understand your answer but it work for the greater part of our computer, just some of them got issue with Active Directory and they all got the same settings.

@Lenain said in AD legacy password in RC11:

@Lenain The images are blocked for me by our web filter. Can you use Google Drive or Mega or Dropbox?

This issue is you’re using the new client, but the ad password is not set, only the ad legacy field is set.

[Lenain]

@Tom-Elliott
Hello,
So if I set both AD and AD legacy password it will work fine?

[Tom Elliott]

@Lenain when you set the non legacy field you enter the password in plain text. It well then store the field encrypted for you. It is this field that’s used for the new client.

@Tom-Elliott
Ok thanks
