Help needed with advanced menu (with login)

FOG Version: 1.3.0 RC36
OS: Debian Jessie 8.6.0

I’m having a hard time creating a PXE menu item that needs login. I had several tries with no success, maybe here somebody can help me out.

The menu scheme i’d like to achieve is the following:

An untegistered host has 2 options,default: perform quick registration, and advanced options which should be a sub-menu and needs login.

A registered host has also 2 items in menu, default: boot from hard-drive, and advanced options which needs login.

The advanced options should be a sub menu, with other items, which are the same for registered/unregistered hosts.

Setting the visibility for menu items to registered/unregistered host is working, but i’m unable to create the advanced submenu which needs login.

Hi, you need to insert the entire menu data at FOG Settings -> iPXE Boot Menu -> Advanced Configuration options

Here’s an example that I’m using:

:urls
set msdart-url http://192.168.1.155/2-MSDART
:MENU
menu
colour --rgb 0xff0000 0 ||
cpair --foreground 1 1 ||
cpair --foreground 0 3 ||
cpair --foreground 4 4 ||
item --gap -- -------------------------------------
item fog.local Boot from hard disk
item msdart6x86 Microsoft DaRT for Windows Vista 32bit
item msdart6x64 Microsoft DaRT for Windows Vista 64bit
item msdart7x86 Microsoft DaRT for Windows 7 32bit
item msdart7x64 Microsoft DaRT for Windows 7 64bit
item msdart81x86 Microsoft DaRT for Windows 8.1 32bit
item msdart81x64 Microsoft DaRT for Windows 8.1 64bit
item fog.return Return to previous menu
choose --default fog.local --timeout 5000000 target && goto ${target}
:fog.local
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 || goto MENU
:msdart6x86
initrd ${msdart-url}/MSDaRT60x86.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
:msdart6x64
initrd ${msdart-url}/MSDaRT60x64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
:msdart7x86
initrd ${msdart-url}/MSDaRT70x86.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
:msdart7x64
initrd ${msdart-url}/MSDaRT70x64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
:msdart81x86
initrd ${msdart-url}/MSDaRT8.1x86.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
:msdart81x64
initrd ${msdart-url}/MSDaRT8.1x64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw
:fog.return
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
prompt
goto MENU

Check Advanced Menu Login at iPXE Boot Menu as well.

Advanced menu login should stay on show on : Advanced Login required

With the configuration of:

login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param advLog 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

Thanks a lot for the help, it is working.

I believed that the “fog.advancedlogin” menu item is itself the advanced sub-menu item, and every other menu item that i configure to show with " Advanced Login Required" will be an item in that sub-menu. Since that was not working i fuzzed with fog.advanced, and fog.advancedlogin, menu visibilities, and the "advanced menu login.

TBH now i’m very confused, but at least i have a working solution. Thanks a lot again.
