Hello everyone,

We are testing WAPT Enterprise on our network.
We are currently trying to create a "Custom" agent.

Since then, we have been experiencing strange behavior. A window pops up during installation requesting credentials for registering the computer with the WAPT server:
"Add_host"
Admin
Password.

We have never seen this window since the beginning of our tests. We don't understand the behavior of waptagent.exe.
Is it possible to disable this request?

Have you changed the server's authentication method?

Kerberos or login/password?

So at first glance, no. No change in these values.

However, I modified the agent's initial configuration (from the console) to be able to "customize" the wapt-get.ini file on the workstations. (For the parameter use_repo_rules=0 to 1)
Maybe that's it...

I discovered a line in the waptserver.ini file:

Code: Select all

allow_unauthenticated_registration = False
I set the value to True for the test.
And now, the agent no longer asks me for authentication for the Add_host of a new machine

You made the correct diagnosis.

Indeed, it's controlled by allow_unauthenticated_registration (which is configured during postconf).

Perhaps a mistake was made?
