Essentially that will do what you’re looking for.

You do not install the fog software directly. You just need to configure the node to have FTP and NFS.

You will miss a few little details such as disk size and what not.

I’ve seen this request but not quite sure how to move forward.

Please understand, Access controls, with this iteration of FOG Server, are coded after the fact.

What do I mean by this?

FOG didn’t really have any real security controls in place. You, indeed, needed to be logged in to do actions of course, but there weren’t any utilities in place for “modifying” access.

For a period of time, there was a thing called “mobile” user which basically just allowed a user to use a mobile interface. This interface was coded along side the FOG system, and was a cumbersome tool to maintain. So when we moved to a responsive design, I removed that “mobile” gui as the new GUI is also mobile accessible.

The Access control plugin is a huge leap toward getting a tool available to limit access based on rules/roles etc…, but it’s not a perfect system as it relies on the User existing in the database first.

I’m sure we could work to add a utility to enable a “default” role association but right now it doesn’t exist.

@george1421
Thank you very much, thats all i need to know.

@EZY4 I think we both have different problems.
I would suggest that you open a new thread on this.

As a tip: Install VirtualBox + ExtensionPack and set up the network boot only.
VirtualBox has iPXE, which gives you more information.

Furthermore you can use wireshark to check what exactly your machine receives from the dhcp-server.

@george1421 Good to know. Thanks for the information and help!
