Hi

I have problems with some computers with latest svn and new client : for most of computers everything is fine, computer name and AD inegration works.
But for some others, hostname didn’t change (stays like PROF-BN04FSGEER) and are considered as new computers in AD, and for others computer name changes AFTER AD integration !

Evertyhing was fine with fog 1.2 and older client, but now with latest svn ond new client, I had these problems. I don’t know if it’s a bug or a bad parameters in my fog settings, so I looked in “Active Directory Defaults” and try to understand difference between FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD and FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD_LEGACY.
I understood that legacy password was the previous one, with the older client, generate with fogcrypt, and which always works like a charm.
And the other one (FOG_AD_DEFAULT_PASSWORD) is the new AD password to works with new client, that’s it ? To be sure, I’ve just to enter in plain text AD password, and after clicking “save changes” this password is encrypted, right ?

But why this encrypted password always whange ? With fog crypt, if a type the same password twice, I’ve got twice the same result. And with the new AD password, if I try several times, encrypted password looks always different !
So I don’t know if I make a mistake somewhere or not…

Thnks for your help and explanations !

I’ve got a problem after uninstalling 0.8 : each time I try to reinstall 0.8 or new 0.9, I’ve got error

Failed to download CA certificate.

In fog.log

 06/07/2015 09:01 RegistryHandler 64 bit registry detected
 06/07/2015 09:01 Middleware::Communication URL: http://192.168.10.60/fog/management/other/ca.cert.der
 06/07/2015 09:01 Middleware::Communication ERROR: Could not download file
 06/07/2015 09:01 Middleware::Communication ERROR: Le serveur distant a retourné une erreur : (404) Introuvable.

And in /var/www/fog/management/other, no file called ca.cert.der

I tried to reinstall fog with ./installfog.sh -C -K or with ./installfog.sh --recreate CA --recreate keys, but still no file in fog/management/other, and same error message when installing client…

And just for testing, I created a file called “ca.cert.der” (just with “touch” command) in /fog/management/other/, and after re-installed last svn with “./installfog.sh -C” command, file was no more present in “other” folder…

Thanks for help

Resolve in new svn, thanks

ok great, everything is ok, thanks !

Thanks

Version: 1.3.0 Installer/Updater


  * Found FOG Settings from previous install at: /opt/fog/.fogsettings
  * Performing upgrade using these settings...

  Starting Debian / Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Edubuntu Installtion.


  #####################################################################

  FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
  understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
  have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

  It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
  as this script modifies many of your system settings.

  This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

  ** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
  order to use FOG
  Please see our wiki for more information at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki


  Here are the settings FOG will use:
         Base Linux: Debian
         Detected Linux Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux
         Installation Type: Normal Server
         Server IP Address: 192.168.10.60
         DHCP router Address: 192.168.10.1
         DHCP DNS Address: 192.168.10.41
         Interface: eth0
         Using FOG DHCP: 0
         Internationalization: 0
         Image Storage Location: /home/images
         MySQL Connection Type: MYSQLI_ASYNC
         Donate: 0

         DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
         current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

         On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
             next-server

         On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
             option 066 & 067

                   Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 192.168.10.60)
                   Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

  Are you sure you wish to continue (Y/N) y

Hi,

It’s not a big deal, but in svn 3546 and 3551, When I click on “Approve All Pending MACs for all hosts?”, I’ve got a blank page…

Thanks
Matthieu

edit ch3i : Add SVN versions in title.

Ok, I use snapin so I’ll try your tips

Other bug : when I click on “Approve All Pending MACs for all hosts”, it stays on a blank page.

It’s ok now with SVN 3546, but installer finishes with “Starting FOG Snapin Replicator Server…Failed”

Hi

I need to update my post, because issue happens again on another model.
I prepare my image on dell computer with SSD 120Gb, I compress C partition, I upload image, everything seems to be fine.

But few days after, I try to download image on 2 different model, and each lost all free sapcee : Fog just keep 25Gb on C for system…

I don’t find any solution except don’t compress c partition, but my SSD 60Gb are quickly full if I don’t compress…

Thanks for your help !
Matthieu

Thanks for your answer and all your job !
I’ll test this tomorrow

same model, around a half works properly, in the same group with same image…
I become crazy, try to test with new SVN and new client tomorrow !

Thanks !

I saw new password during installation, and they appear in .fogsettings file, but I don’t know where to change them in web interface ?

Hi

we bought 3020 SFF.
and I used previous image from older computer with different configuration, just to add new drivers and everythinf works fine… execpt snapins and printers…
It seems to be better with last official kernel rather than the new unofficial 4.x kernel.

Some of computers work now for snapin and printers but not all, and I don’t know why…

Hi,

I tried to install svn 3495 over 1.2.0 on debian 7.8.
Install was ok, but I have few bugs

• when I click on snapin management on web interface, nothing is display
• on services configuration, if I tried to uncheck client updater, and then click update, option re-enables automatically
• and more problematic, if I tried to upload image, I’ve got this message : Mounting File system Failed, unable to mount NFS.

Everyhting was ok with 1.2.0 and everything seems ok on svn configuration…

I reboot server and tried to re-install svn, but same problems…

Thanks for your help

I noticed that with older bzimage (official kernels on web managameent Fog 1.2), some computers work with snapins and printers (both or nothing : if snapinf work, printers work)
With latest bzimage on sourceforge, no snipin and no printers worked…

Oh, I’m thinking, could it be do to bzimage file ?
I update them from source forge when I receive dell optiplex…
