Hello,

I encountered a boot error on iPXE: "operation not supported" during HTTP redirection on the WAPT server.
After some investigation, the problem was due to our WAPT server being configured with the "--force-https" option.
Reconfiguring the server without this parameter resolved the issue.

I think reporting this problem could be helpful for others experiencing the same issue (I don't seem to have seen anything about it in the documentation).

Thank you :)

Have a good day.

Yes, IPXE can handle HTTPS, but only if the bundle contains a public certificate.

If not, you need to recompile IPXE with your certificate inside.

Hello Simon,

Do you have any documentation for recompiling IPXE with a self-signed certificate?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Hello David,

there is no specific WAPT documentation; you should refer to the iPXE documentation.
